I've been browsing around the past week and it seems like a lot has changed here. I'm seeing a lot of new talent and new tech that's been implemented on this platform, but it seems there's been a massive exodus of people I use to see around all the time with abandoned profiles. I should talk, lol! Guess life happens, people move on or take a break.
Steemians tell me what is going on? What's all shiny and new in these parts?
What have I been up to lately?
Well let's see I've basically been make sci-fi props and spaceships out of junk and plastic containers I've rescued from recycling bins and continuing my screen printing business and craft.
I am a huge fan of retro sci-fi and fantasy movies and art. I just adore lo-fi and B-movies, mostly from the 80s and 70s but still enjoy the 60s, 50s and 40s. I love the look of UFO's dangling on a string, papier-mâché worlds and cheap practical special FX.
Anyway this video is a small collection of Stories and Snaps I've created over the past year or so on other social platforms where I've been away from Steemit. Tsk, tsk on me for leaving :'( Please forgive, haha. I made this video to Re-Introduce myself to the Steemit community and to show you what you might expect from my future Steemit blog and Dtube channel.
Hope you enjoy the short collection of videos and can't wait to reveal more of my journey and my World!
Thank you for watching and for your time, Duane <3

That was awesome! Both the screen printing and the models/props. The robot was hilarious. Psyched to see more :D

Thanks :D I have a handful of other stuff I've created over the past year that I'm going to post this week which I think gets progressively better. After that I'll be attempting posting brand new new content on a regular basis.

Thanks and I am delightfully surprised you remember me :D I remember back 1.5yrs ago I was so confused at the whole steemit infrastructure. Now coming back I'm way more confused and overwhelmed tbh.
George you have anything, place or resources u could suggest in order to get more recognition? I know things have changed and the crypto market is low atm and has adjusted, but for my it seems crazy low coming back. I just don't know where to go or start.

Yeah, i understand what you mean..The major thing that changed was that other platforms are being created and everything is connected. My suggestion is to start posting at @ntopaz, is the best platform for artists. Also dtube is more than great if you are planning to make more videos.
Check ntopaz first which is the most important:)

I thought about nTopaz but I wouldn't post video there would I? Or as long as it's art in video is that fine?

I had a graphics class in high school where we made shirts, it was really fun, we used photo-shop to make our designs and then made the screens. We didn't have a fancy conveyor belt, we had a heater to dry the ink and if you left it for one second too long it burned the shirt(black shirts were popular when I was a kid) and one second to soon and it was still sticky. I failed that class and I have no idea why, I designed and made lots of shirts, I can't remember why I failed. . .

Cool. I also have the dryer you are probably referring to. It looks like a rectangle with a heating element and swings away on a stand. It's called a Flash Cure or a Spot Dryer. It's main purpose is to quickly dry each colour in-between printing for about 5secs so that it's dry to the touch so u can hit it with another coat of ink or colour. It can also be used as a dryer to cure the ink but you need to be very watch you don't start a fire.

I think my HS made theirs, it looked like heating lights used for chickens, it was just in a box. In fact all the frames and thing that held them were made in the HS wood shop and metal shot. Students made the frame holder, it was poorly welded, but it worked. They were made 20 or more years before I even had the class. The frames the wood shop teacher replaced regularly though, they weren't that old. I thought maybe silk screen shirts were new when they decided they wanted to make them, it would have obviously pre-dated computers. I know shirts from the 70s aren't slick screened, they had a iron on graphic or something, at least all the vintage Star Wars shirts are like that.

I've done that before with heating lights. I use to build and make all my screens and equipment when I first started out, been screen printing since 1991. Use to do all my colour separations by hand. Shirts from the 70s not all of them through were iron-on heat transfers. The glossy slick ones are called cold-peel transfers cause you wait till the transfer is cold and then peel it off and that gives it that slick glossy look.
