introduceyourself: I am an abstract visual artist from Minneapolis

Hello Steemit friends!  I am an abstract visual artist based out of Minneapolis, Minnesota. We recently had the Super Bowl here, and everything was pretty crazy. I had several art exhibitions downtown including original work inside US Bank Stadium where the game was played. I was one of the first artists to represent themselves on the Internet going back to around 1998, which is when I launched my website. It has been quite a journey, and now I am able to make a full-time living being an artist. I have used every form of social media to connect with artists and collectors, and it seemed like the right time to check out this cool platform Steemit.  My process is kind of unusual, as I use palette knives on my shoes to walk and scrape the canvas. I find that this creates interesting and unique marks and forms which entices me. Take a look at my process video here:

I also have gotten into crypto currency, which is how I stumbled upon you guys. I currently own ripple, stellar, and tron.  It is a crazy market and kind of feels like the wild wild West.  Hopefully, we are on the front end of it and it will become commonplace. It's nice to be on the ground floor of something, right?  I would appreciate it if you follow and up vote me so I can get rolling on my next post. I will most likely be sharing new artwork and interesting stories about art, film, music, and science. Check out my website at shawnmcnulty.com
