Hi and welcome here! When I started on steemit, my biggest problem was to find interesting people to interact with. So, to help newcomers getting started I created a directory with other interesting and or talented steemians to follow or interact with. Feel free to check it out at https://www.steemiandir.com I am sure it will help you find like-minded people. Enjoy your stay here and do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!

Thanks! That was something I was curious about, since I am new!

We welcome you and keen to see some magic of your hand..welcome to the best community around👍

Welcome to Steemit. You have very nice pieces of art. I’m sure you will do well on here.

Thanks so much! My buddy that told me about Steemit said something similar.... He said I'd rock it on here... he was explaining the blockchain, and getting paid.... but, after just one post, I can see that I am going to like this way more than the other platforms I post to.... Like it more for the people, and interactivity.

If you liked the art- here's a few albums that show the last 7+ years of daily art (They open in FB albums)

Welcome to Steem! Glad Michael told me about you!

That dude is epic. He's the one who told me about Steemit, and I've been all sorts of places with him where someone knows me because he's told them about me. Pleasure to meet you.

Welcome 😉

Welcome to the Steem Blockchain @theartofori Interesting art work and even more interesting story. Posting daily will do wonders for you here, although it might take a lit bit to gain some traction. Main thing is to hang in there and be consistent. Also, up voting others, commenting and responding to comments also does wonders.

Hey @Streetstyle! Thanks for the kind words, and the advice.

The daily art has taught me consistency... The commenting / responding is what I've been doing for years now.. I reply / like every single comment on each platform... though, I'm starting to see that some platforms (such as Steemit) may be better. I'll certainly give it my best effort!

Hi ori, I'm originally from Israel too.
Loved the post, looking forward to seeing more from you.
If your ever around Portugal let me know.
Keep up the good work and fulfilling your purpose!

Thanks @orlev (I still know my Hebrew, so I get the beauty of your name... or... the creepiness of what happens when someone misspells your name with an Ayin instead of an Aleph :p -- I make the joke that my name means "My light... unless you misspell it, then it's my skin, or my leather... which is great if you're going to a fetish party!" :p )

I appreciate the encouragement and kind words. I don't have any immediate plans for Portugal, but a friend did plant some seeds in my mind recently about how amazing it is.

Hello and welcome!
Do you plan on posting your daily artwork to STEEM going forward?

Hey @Joshman - Thanks for the welcome.

Yes! I absolutely plan on posting a new work of art every single day (my days are longer than 24 hours, as I don't go to sleep until the artwork has been posted... often that's in the middle of the night). I plan on posting, full STEEM ahead! :)

Wow! That's amazing! That is really cool! I JUST heard of Photocircle 3 days ago, while camping in the mountains with some friends (funny enough, one of them introduced me to Steemit, and his lady told me about Photocircle as the method we should share our photos from the trip).

Thrilled that you like the post.

While for your art work, I would like to suggest #artzone as tag or use the platform by @ntopaz which can be done through their website https://www.ntopaz.com/

Ntopaz posts will also be posted directly to your steem account, it's a good option for artists to be curated in the steem blockchain.

Be sure to include, #palnet tag to any of your good posts for you to have the chance to be curated by Palnet curators and earn PAL tokens alongside Steem & Ntopaz rewards.

Have a great steem experience :)

OMG! I love your art work, you are a really good artist! Do not stop doing it, you can make a lot of money. ;)

Thanks so much! People here are so nice. The money is a great thing to look forward to, but is not my primary motivator with the art. (Though, now that I sold a piece for$10,000 for Alice Cooper's foundation, I am emphasizing selling more)

Hello and welcome to Steemit theartofori, receive a vote to support you. I invite you to read my guide about Steemit: https://tinyurl.com/BasicSteemitGuide and my blog about technology https://toninoxp.blogspot.com/p/topics.html

Welcome to Steem, Ori! Your art is amazing, so vivid and each piece is more than worthy of a post dedicated to it! I think it's great that you don't stick to one subject matter and create from what is within you and inspires you as it flows. Personally, I adore cartoons and think they don't get enough credit for what they can impart. (It's pretty awesome that you were able to learn English from them.)

Though it's saddening to read that you stopped making your art for ten years (considering how talented you are and how much you loved doing it), I think it's great that you rallied began anew.


We encourage everyone to explore the various posts and to leave personal comments on those that you wish (for example - your thoughts regarding the post's content). This platform thrives through interaction as it's the best way to build relationships with other Steemians while finding communities and initiatives that peak your interests.

Another tip that we share with everyone is to cite if images, videos, etc. used in their posts are of their own creation. This practice has two benefits:

  • It gives you an opportunity to have it clearly labeled that the works portrayed are your original and rightful property.

  • It helps to protect against copyright infringement when using material that is not of your original creation. Content (for example - images from a website) that grants permission for reuse is acceptable for content creators to utilize within their posts provided there is appropriate attribution to the source. Here's a link that will provide you with more information.


Have you heard of #PYPT? Each Thursday (at 11 A.M. & 7 P.M. EST) @Shadowspub hosts the Pimp Your Post Thursday show in The Ramble discord where everyone can share their favorite posts. Sharing isn't limited to only your own posts, many come to pimp out other authors' content that they feel deserves more attention. It's terrific fun and a fantastic way to meet other blockchain creators. 😎
