Hello Steem-powered World
My name is Daniel Doyle and I am from Dublin,Ireland. I have been a professional sand, snow and ice sculptor for over twenty years. During that time, I have travelled the world representing Ireland at festivals and competitions. As well as sculpture I also try my hand at film making and have directed many short films and documentaries. Now with a wife and son I would like to create more opportunities for us here in Ireland.
Why am I on Steemit?
Most of my work is ephemeral and because it no longer exists I wanted a way to document it. My original idea was to create a book of my work, to help it live on and have something to show my son as he gets older (he's now two) but then I discovered Steemit and thought that this is what I was waiting for. A place of sharing and appreciation backed by a permanent blockchain.
What you can expect from me?
I will be posting content about my work with lots of photographs, videos and other things that I have created. I think Steemit is a perfect place for visual artists to connect with the world and get feedback. I would also like to be of help to others starting out in the creative field.
I hope you will join me on this exciting new journey.

Whhhhhhhhhaaaaaaat? How awesome are you??? I will def follow you, because I absolutely love sand and ice art. I know the ephemeral part probably makes it hard to make a living with , but it also makes it kind noble :) like those Buddhist sand mandalas. I am very into art that disappears.
Thank you @sugarrock. I don't mind the fact that my work dissappears. It means that i get to do more. If all my sculptures still existed they would cover an area larger than a football field. It's all about the process for me and each sculpture takes up a life of its own while its been created. Of course they live on in the minds eye and in photographs. To earn a living from it is difficult but i have been quite lucky and up to now it has been my main source of income. Thank you for joining me.
Great start @ammonite Welcome Upvote🙂
