Preview	About the Article
	[Prepare for a Handmade Fair]그 가방을 든 여자 -여름- @soyo: Artists who met on Steemit created a team called SteemArtCloud. The team plans to sell their art products at a handmade fair in Seoul, Korea. This article is an introduction to the production of a painting made by one of the team members.
	Python client of SteemConnect API @emrebeyler: steemconnect-python-client is a simple yet powerful library to interact with the Steemconnect. There was no production ready library for Python (Or I couldn't find it.) so I have decided to write my own.
	Big Advertising for Beeline @dunsky: Cool illustration commission from big agency Lowe Adventa asking Fil Dunsky to create Matryoshka Dolls for 6x3 meters road brandmauers in Russia. Sketches, process and story inside. Don't miss that, guys. It's really worth reading!
	This is just Technique - 19 pictures @paolobeneforti: I have a folder in my atelier, filled with drawings and watercolors I did for my students. I did them to show in my Art courses various techniques of drawing. This sheets are just examples of different ways to draw: pencil, colored pencil, charcoal, ink, watercolors and pencil.
	Teaching writing and sand tobogganing @alvinauh : This post is about how one can keep the writing momentum going. Many of the aspects can be applied in both teaching writing and writing in general.
	Creative Crypto - Markdown, Responsive Design & New Theme @jeffbernst: I’m working as the developer for the new project by @sndbox called The Creative Crypto. The main updates this week were with markdown parsing and a theme adjustment for the site.

	Creative Minority and The Long Breath in Steemit @ayijufridar: Big changes do not happen because of the power of the masses, but small groups - the creative minority - that have a clear concept and high fighting power. History has proven how a company, an organization, even a country is formed thanks to the creative small group work.
