🎨 Let’s Talk About Art 🎨 | GIVING AWAY SBI SHARES!!
Welcome to the #LetsTalkAboutArt challenge - an easy way for anyone and everyone to start talking about art. All you need to do is share a piece of art in the comments below (in response to my prompt), resteem this post, and you’ll be entered to win!
Simple, yes?
Okay, here are the rules of the game once again!
1. Resteem this post to help get more people talking about art on steem!
2. Respond to the prompt listed below. Link to a piece of art (from steemit or beyond) and add a few thoughts about it in the comments! Please also engage with 1-2 other posts on the thread!
3. Although not required, an upvote is surely appreciated and will help me to continue sponsoring future steemians into SBI!
And now - our very first #LetsTalkAboutArt prompt! Are you ready?
The challenge will run until this post expires in 7 days. At that time, I will select 5 authors to each receive 1 share of SBI for their participation! I’m looking for a thoughtful comment, and engagement with other community members!
You may be asking yourself, what’s an SBI Share?!
Steem Basic Income (@steembasicincome) is a social experiment to bring a basic income to as many Steemians as possible. Members join by sponsoring others into the program. Steem Basic Income is delivered through providing regular upvotes to member content.
When I give you a share of SBI, you’ll be getting a lifetime of support from the @steembasicincome project, including PERMANENT upvotes! Head on over to their page to find out more, or join the group on Discord! Rather than just rewarding authors with quick gains, I want to help you build long-term sustainability on steemit. <3
Now that we’ve gotten all the rules and explaining out of the way - here’s my answer to my own question! One of the artists I most remember having an impact on me when I was young was Groucho Marx, of the Marx Brothers!
I was first introduced to Groucho and the Marx Brothers as a child when my uncle started sending me VHS of their movies for every holiday. I grew up with Groucho’s sharp wit, endless puns, and constant wordplay. Coming out of the vaudeville tradition, all of the Marx Brothers are seasoned performers with many talents. Some of my witty banter and way of speaking still stems directly from this early influence!
And that’s all I’m looking for! Share a piece of content and write a few thoughts! :) If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask ‘em. Looking forward to talking about with all of you!

Herge, the author of Tintin. The mechanical perfection of his ligne claire drawings, inspired by Japanese woodcuts, with the color perfectly staying inside all those lines, and with some subtle gradations here and there, instantly won me over as a child. I then spent untold hours lying on the floor trying to copy the drawings of vehicles in there - cars, planes, trains and such. Happy memories, a long time ago.
Ah, very very cool. It’s always interesting to know what people were first drawn to, and how they first started playing around with art. Thanks for sharing your story!
Nice initiative.
I'd like to share this wonderful work from a newcomer to SteemIt. Tais joined just a week and half ago and here's the first work she published:
https://steemit.com/art/@taifavre/pointillism-drawing-of-an-old-picture-of-my-dad
I hope you like it as much as I do.
Wow, what an awesome piece of art from a new author! Great find!
It sure is. Tais is the kind of people this platform needs. I hope she sticks around long enough. I have seen many new users give up after a month or two. It's just sad.
This is pretty remarkable and precise piece of art. Dots are like pixels, we can say the same for the particles, that we're made of... Thanks for sharing!
This is a very good way to bring more exposure to the creative people, both here and on the web. My proposal is @trayan. He made digital and traditional art, with much loose, excentric, modernistic and expresionistic approach. With vibrant colors, that maches the feelings you experience by viewing the artwork. You can see some good example of his latest works here: https://steemit.com/esteem/@trayan/let-s-paint-uv-81ea3a2ad3bc8est
Wow, that’s so vibrant - it really “pops”. Thanks for sharing and bringing some attention to this artist!
That's pretty cool, thanks! I like that it has a different tone under the UV lights!
Thank you, brother! ;)

Interesting contest @lilyraabe!
Though I sketch, I don't really have anyone to refer to. Just being supportive and will resteemed this post!
Well, I certainly appreciate it! Thanks so much for supporting!
My pleasure!
I think the earliest I came to contact with an artist was Victor Vasarely, 'father' of op-art. http://www.op-art.co.uk/victor-vasarely/ This was the museum we lived the closest and I used to go there as a kid, later I kept doing 3D looking 'drawings' with a ruler and pencils, coloring every second piece, so it looked even more cool. It was easy to do, but the result was fascinating and I could get totally lost concentrating putting the lines in the correct order. (I know I linked to a whole site, but it's hard to pick just 1 work and I was also suprised there's a whole site for op-art, so I thought I share it.)
Hey -- well that’s cool too! Those are really cool pieces - I can totally see why you would have had fun making these as a kid -- I kind of want to go try it out right now! This would be awesome to do as a big bed quilt! Thanks for sharing. :)
