Introduce Myself : Petai is My Name

in introduceyourself •  7 years ago  (edited)

Hi fellow Steemians. My name is Petai, its a penname for myself since I started my career as a cartoonist. I was a former editor for a local cartoon publication but now I draw merely as a hobby.

These are some of my work.

Personally I believe that cartoon should be fun. It should not be provocative or cause uneasiness amongst us. It is a tool of communication and it is also a source of laughter.

Nice being here.

Welcome to Steemit, Petai.

Those wonderful little cartoons are witty and interesting. If you do more of the same, they will probably be noticed and make a bit of an impact on this platform.

A bit of advice. Many short posts with minimal content are overlooked and ignored on Steemit. On the other hand, posts that have quality content, containing both text and images, and which make a coherent and cohesive whole, attract many more viewers and gain greater rewards (eventually).

Therefore, if you are going to post your cartoons, it's a good idea to add some interesting text. Either explaining something about the cartoons, or telling about your inspirations, or outlining your creative process, or anything of that sort.

As long as you make your posts interesting and informative, you will most likely succeed on Steemit.

Good luck, and Full Steem Ahead.

Thx your information is very helpful to me. I will remember that the nxt time i post.

OK, best of luck. I'll follow you and keep an eye out for your posts.

Tq...so glad to have ur support

Welcome

Yayy!... Welcome my friend... great seeing u around... cheers!

Congratulations! Your introduction post has been selected for my special manual curation today!

It has received an upvote, and a resteem to help give you a boost. I'm following you now, too!

My curation focus is on fairly new Steemit users who don't speak English as a first or primary language, but who are writing and posting in English.

I search new posts in the #introducemyself and #introduceyourself tags daily, and try to dedicate at least 50% of my article curation to new Steemit members who meet the above focus criteria. My goal is to discover and curate an average of 5 new Steemit users per day.

I follow each person I curate because it is very encouraging for a new member to see their following grow.

25% of my daily curation is dedicated to upvoting, resteeming and commenting on new articles posted by the Steemit users I am following. If you have written an article that you think is particularly good, you can direct message me a link to it in Steemit.chat (look at the bottom of the Steemit menu for the chat link.)

I also curate comments from all Steemit users. I look to reward comments and replies which stand out as having thoughtful insight, offer benefit to the community at large and reflect the unique personality of the commenter.

I aim to keep my voting strength between 90-100%, and give a 100% upvote whenever possible, voting 10-15 times per day.

I’m calling the @originalworks bot to verify this article for you. Every time you write an original article you should call the bot. It is a great bot service that boosts your article for free.

@originalworks also hosts a weekly writing contest, so follow @originalworks if you are interested in practicing your writing skill, and possibly earning some extra Steem.

I love your sense of humor, and philosophy about what cartoons should be. You made me laugh with these samples of your work. I am looking forward to seeing more posts like this from you. Cheers!

Wow...thanks. i dont know what to say. I am so new to this i am still trying to find my way around.

You are very welcome, @petai! Don't worry. It takes a little time to figure it all out. Just try to do a lot of reading articles in the Steem tag. Also, read the FAQ. You will catch on quickly. Cheers!

Hello @mitneb.. Your comment to Mr. @Petai is very usefull to me too, and I have followed you and starting to put tag #introducemyself in my post like what you have taught, and also will start calling #originalworks after this.. thank youu!!

Thanks for following me, @caricaturistazmi. Following you now, too. One note ; you should only put the #introducemyself/yourself tag on your one post that is for that purpose. Many users inappropriately use those tags for other kinds of posts. Cheers!

Welcome @petai! Love you cartoons. I always wanted to ask cartoonists like yourself, since you're drawing things that are happy all the time, how do you get yourself in the right states to produce great work?

Sometimes tiada idea juga...especially when moody. So when in good mood and full of ideas...i would draw more.

Yeah i wonder too

Oh no , someone name himself with my favourite food!! Petai is life! Add sambal! And prawn!

Why u wanna eat me? I am better alive...i can draw u cartoons.

I want a drawing of Petai holding petai sambal prawn like a chef, hahaha that would be super amazing!

Hehe...i draw a petai eating human in a sandwich bread.

Hi @petai, welcome to steemit and #teammalaysia. Out of curiosity, why Petai?

Its a nick name that stuck with us...i am like the vegetable...foul smelling but great in taste.

Yes indeed stuck in my head, Petai.

Welcome! Has anyone told you that your drawing style reminds them of Sergio Aragonés of Mad Magazine and Groo the Wanderer?

I am going to look them up but MAD is really big boys kinda stuff. I am kinda normal artist with a lot of passion.

Hah! Its funny! Especially the frst one with the fish, but all three are funny ideas!!
The job title cartoonist always makes my chest feel excited,to somehow describe the feeling, i do humorous vignettes too occassionally, and altho im still new within th steem community, i have a small number of these uploaded here if u wanna take a look
Thumbs up for the funny!
