Hello Stemians!

I’m new to steemit and looking forward to being part of the community! I enjoy painting and putting my spin on things that inspire me, intrigue me, and catch my eye.

I especially enjoy painting unique portraits, everyday objects, and memes. I have no training beyond the last art class I took in middle school (thanks educational industrial complex) and have recently challenged myself to take painting more seriously.

Here are a few pictures I’ve painted and already uploaded to Steemit:

First, a picture of Ron Paul I painted (it’s my take on that wonderful “everyone in this room predicated the financial collapse” meme)

If you’re interested... today for Valentines Day I posted some goofy VOLUNtines (voluntaryist valentines) that I made. Check ‘em out!

I have a YouTube channel (with exactly two videos so far...) https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCbo0EuCqZrJ6PHyDy3RlnTw

I’m interested in cryptocurrency, voluntaryism, philosophy, documentaries on cults, the anthropology of reality tv, and obnoxious acronyms.

I like dogs, reading, crafting, improving my cooking skills, general good clean fun, and hanging out in the sun even though I have a freckled complexion not much given to that.

Here are some pictures of me enjoying the sun while rapidly burning and definitely not being a member of that private club on whose property I was possibly trespassing...

Damn, the Ron Paul looks sweet! However Bernie Sanders might be a better picture for this platform :P (I know you wont get the joke, you will find out!)
Resteemed you for some publicity, cheers :)
