What
am I doing...
I don't have much today, other than a new exclusive artistic production for you to maybe enjoy.
The image above isn't new. I think I made that guy in early summer of 2017. I'm not sure, but I think that was when placing cryptocurrency symbols upon art was somewhat popular around here.
Of course, when I do it, nobody noticed...
LOL!
I didn't actually laugh out loud just now.
I did this one awhile ago as well:
I think that was my brain, on STEEM.
Again, not many noticed.
So I just jammed it back inside my head and got on with my day.
Back then, some days my life felt like a Tom Hanks movie and my only friend was Steemson:
If you didn't get it, that's supposed to be like the volleyball friend Tom Hanks had in the movie Castaway. And yes, I know, it looks like crap. I did that intentionally.
Noticing a trend yet?
Everything is blue!
My newest production is blue. Some people like blue, apparently. I didn't want to drop the new blue image here and say nothing though.
None of those were the new image I produced today. Just a few more nobody remembers.
For some strange reason, many people remember this one:
Some people get water in their eye but have you ever had eye in your water?
I don't know why I do such weird things.
I just do them.
Of course, if I'm showing off the blues today, I must include this one:
Those were all from Season One
Next are a few from Season Two.
These ones might be somewhat still fresh in your memories:
Can you even see Batman in that picture above?
He's right there, bottom left, looking out a window or something. His back is turned to us. So many thought I was joking when I said Batman was in that image. I wasn't joking though. He's right there.
Next!
A few of the illustrations that will get worked into a long piece of fiction I've planned to write and share here once more eyes come to see.
Season Three
Not much blue to see, so far.
I produced this one about one week ago:
And the new piece of blue...
Something simplistic and easy on the eyes:
So, there's my big blue show.
I hope you saw something you liked.
I went for something simple this time around. That Big Blue Thing is just that. A big blue thing.
You might be wondering why I bounce around so much. One day you'll see an image full of darkness, hidden faces, symbolism, maybe a bloody mess. Something colorful, bright, trippy-looking. You'll see cartoon characters and side profile shadow-like people. Then you'll see some variations of simplicity and many more styles.
Most people tend to get really bored of one style, including the artist. Changing things up and having a variety is healthy for both viewer and producer. I'd go nuts if I had to work on the same thing, same style, day in, day out; so, I just do whatever and hope people like it. Simple, and it works.
Reminds me of just how much art you've created. At this point you could probably just start reposting all your old stuff and no one would notice.
anyway, upvote me if you want you'll just end up getting the rewards.

Everything I do is manually created by hand, digitally, from scratch.
Just yesterday I wrote a bit about it:

I also shared a bit of the process recently here:
https://steemit.com/art/@nonameslefttouse/why-should-i-write-about-this-dammit-i-thought-i-told-myself-to-write-better-titles
Nothing I do is automated.
I even stashed a big number 2 in this one awhile back just to prove a point.
It's all handmade.
That blue one you're talking about, it's just a blue base with darker spray paint as shading on top, then I blend it so things blur together. Much like rubbing wet paint.

If stopping to take screenshots every few minutes didn't distract me out of the zone I go into when I work on this stuff, I'd do more gifs like that. Even the simpler pieces take a lot of time. Two hours can fly by, then I sit and wonder if I even blinked the entire time.

There's nothing people need to understand. Many of them are meant to simply stimulate the eyes. When an artist paints a blob, then tells a strange story about what this random blob is, 9 times out of 10, that artist is full of shit.

Blue has been popular lately... Lots of politicians taking about the “blue wave” that was or wasn’t; lol. Many things go unnoticed here but they are here forever thanks to the blockchain so at least it gives you perspective of what has been achieved.

I'm Canadian so luckily I don't have to pay much attention to what's going on in that tiny part of the world. It's all over the media of course, but I don't pay much attention to that stuff. I'm more into that bird that's looking at me through the window right now.
I've put two years of my own history down on this blockchain already. It's an interesting experiment. Most of the stuff I had on Facebook, I deleted. I wasn't happy with that environment or what it had to offer. This place tends to bring out the best in me, even on my worst days.

Facebook is more for that dumbed down zombie audience. It's unfortunate so many STEEM apps are attempting to appeal to that crowd with their 8 second per post average attention span. The only reason it's 8 seconds is because that stuff sucks. Imagine if they applied that logic to movies and all we got were 8 second clips... I don't get this but whatever, now I'm complaining, simply because I thought of Facebook. It's toxic like that.

Picasso went through a blue period too. My favourite piece is The Things I'd Rather Be Doing - it's gorgeous. I identified That Big Blue Thing as the centipede I'm occasionally startled to discover in my basement. It's not blue but that would only make it worse.
The other thing I like about The Things I 'd Rather Be Doing is the turquoise. Picasso's blue period also included greenish blue colours like that.
God Thumbs is outstanding. It has the right contrast of cool and warm, light and dark and then lines that take you to the center. I would expect to see it in a modern art gallery. Actually, it grows on you. Maybe it's my favourite.

The Things I'd Rather Be Doing and God Thumbs are in my personal top 20. I had another variation of God Thumbs that included a red background layer. The red was supposed to be Mars. Much of cool detail was lost behind the front thumb layer so I experimented more and well, that's what I came up with. It messes with the mind; it's hard to look away once one notices it.

That's something I enjoy about producing art like this. I don't have to paint Homer Simpson, people just see Homer Simpson. The next will see ducks and a tree. So it's like painting ten images in one. That's being efficient.
And yes, so very quiet. I was kind of hoping they'd be all like, "Hey! Have you guys seen the latest @meesterboom and @NoNamesLeftToUse posts?! Gather round! These guys are awesome and we should all vote and follow their work!"

Oh - by the way - I noticed a coupla posts ago you were wondering why Curie doesn't upvote you, be it because you've been around a while or because you've got too much SP.
The answer is neither - Curie will upvote you even if you've been around the whole time, even If you already got a large amount of SP (therealpaul got a few in the past coupla months, he's older than you and has a decent amount of SP)
No, they look at the post payout - You're getting consistently over 5 dollars, ranging into the high 20s, so you're not going to get a Curie. If you want to stand a chance, ask people to stop upvoting you.

I don't think it's so shitty, they're trying to reward under-rewarded creators who create "excellent" content.
Doesn't mean I - or they - don't think you're under-rewarded, just means that there are others who are more so.
You might want to read their white paper at some point, it's a fairly quick read.never mind, for some reason I can't get on to their site where I found it approx. 2 months ago.
