Kommienezuspadt here on Steemit and bringing 15K pinup girls w/ me!

Good day! 

I recently learned of Steemit via my friend @mada. Not a typical Reddit user, but the ethics and mission of Steemit makes me feel good inside, so I’m here and this is my introduction.

My name is Lars Kommienezuspadt and I am a 36 year old transplant from Scranton, PA, now living in Minneapolis, MN. I’m a full time dad. Career artist spanning several mediums, but work predominantly in photography and illustration. Old punk. Technology enthusiast. Comic book writer/illustrator and fervent subculture curator.

What I’m bringing to Steemit is my audience of 15K Instagram followers [@kommienezuspadt] gained over the last 5 years of tireless work traveling across the country, making a modest living photographing several of the world’s best known pinup models. The rockabilly scene is one of the most passionate subcultures I’ve discovered. The community is knowledgable and obsessive. The culture and history the movement and effort to preserve 1950’s Americana, in  style, fashion, music and architecture, is contagious.

These last 5 years, I’ve had the pleasure of documenting many of the cornerstone people in the pinup culture. I’ve made some amazing friends from all over the world, and a portfolio I’m proud to say was built on hundreds of thousands of miles, cheap flights, and couch surfing adventures. The essence of being a career artist, embodied, and none of experiences [for better or for worse] we’re diluted from what I was promised.

I intend to use Steemit as a platform to share my work, thoughts and experiences throughout my career as an artists. The good, and the bad. The triumphs and the crushing defeats I’ve faced and overcome, and the immeasurable sacrifice that’s come with pursuing a meaningful path contrary to day jobs with health insurance and sick days. My hope is that the content I create here on Steemit, makes it ways to other artists facing the same challenges. 

Thanks so much for taking the time to read my introduction. It's a pleasure to be here, joining the rank and file of Steemit. Can't wait for what's to come.
