What's up, Steemit!
I would love to shake the hand of any man that found this "introduceyourself" thing easy. I've been staring at the computer screen, trying to come up with something to "introduce myself" for far too long and, after failing miserably, I figured I'd keep it short and sweet.
My name's Faye, I'm a 25 year old Brit residing in the jungle in Costa Rica and all I can really say is I spend Far. Too. Much. time drawing. Really. I'd say I spend a solid 50% of the time I'm awake with a pen in my hand, which makes for a pretty reclusive existence. A reclusive existence I try to balance this out as best I can with much adventure as possible. So when I'm not drawing in the arms of mother nature, I spend every penny I have on exploring all of the crazy beautiful places this world has to offer.
I've recently been introduced to the world of cryptocurrency by @thearcanebear and, although this is going to take a bit of getting used to, I've been really stoked on the idea of coming here to share a bunch of art and travel tips with little sprinkles of jungle life in between.
Looking forward to sharing and getting to know you all better... :-)

P.S. I record all of my mural pieces and make them into little timelapse progressions. Here's a video below for anyone that wants to check it out!
Incredible artwork, love the perfect symmetry..That takes skill! I can see your art as tattoos already. Welcome to Steemit :)
Thank you for the welcome! The community's so nice on here. The symmetry's not perfect, it never can be completely at this size, but I hard work on creating the illusion that it's perfect... So I really appreciate the comment, thank you :-)
It's really great to have you here, @fayehalliday !!!! I saw some of your video and pics around the net and you're really a great artist! Cheers from Italy ^_^
Ahhhhh, no way! It makes me so happy to hear you've already seen it around! Small world. Grazie mile, Silvia :-)
Wow thats an amazing mural!
Looking forward to seeing more, you gained a follower 😉
Thank you, really appreciate it :-) and cheers for the follow!
Do you have some sort of social media that you can confirm who you are? Not saying we don't believe you but people like to try and steal other peoples work. So it would be very helpful.
Of course! I have a facebook and instagram, totalling around 1 mil followers :-) I am a real person, promise.... Haha. I'll share my Steemit post on my Facebook so you guys know its me!

I've just made a post on my Facebook page :-)

Thank you, Tim... :-)
Welcome to Steemit @fayehalliday!
That was one fabulous mural and video! What is the music that inspires you in those head phones?
@kus-knee (The Old Dog)
Mannnnnn, there are just so many different types of music to dissolve into! I can't remember what I was listening to at the time (this mural was around a year ago), but I'm on such a classical music hype at the moment. Also an artist called Gustavo Santaollala - definitely worth checking out. I try and mix it up most of the time, it's nice to see the way different musics affect the way the patterns form in the piece... And thank you, by the way!
Gustavo Santaollala is my friends dad! ha so random
Oh wow..... If you ever see him, please tell him I'm obsessed with his music!
Welcome to Steemit.. Glad to see some more popular peeps coming on board.
Cheers to your first post!!
ps... pretty good introduction post, i'd say
Thank you very much, Mr Wang!!

Such a kind comment, thank you.... Really do appreciate it. I know, the community has been so lovely! Which is very rare on internet "forums" these days haha, I tried out 9gag for a little bit and it wasn't my thing. It was actually what confirmed me wanting to keep posting on here! Always great to interact with nice people :-) Looking forward to getting to know everyone whilst the community's still small too! Thank you again for the warm welcome...
haha 9gag is like the cancer of social platforms :P with everything you post it is 100% sure some trolls will comment :P imagine that i get annoyed when i see someone asks a serious question or has a normal post etc etc and the comment section oh god a living hell :p 9gag and lol(league of legends if you heard it) has the worst communities, i deleted both my accounts 1 year ago and i found inner peace :P anyway welcome again

Thank you for the welcome and kind comment :-)
I love Costa Rica. I have coffee farming friends there and am building a business to work with various coffee farmers in the Tarrazú region and cacao farmers to the south.
Looking forward to more posts from you. Maybe you can work in some jungle shots with your artwork. Welcome aboard!
That's great, Costa Rica is such a special country! I came here for a week or so last year and promised myself I'd make the move, so I followed through a couple of months later.
Thank you for the kind welcome! I've got quite a few working in the jungle shots, she's my favourite studio for sure (when the weather's good ha!) I'll make sure I post a little blog on it here at some point :-)
Hello and welcome to Steemit Faye! I look forward to you sharing here.

Welcome to steemit @fayehalliday :) So nice to see you around. Best wishes !
Thank you very much! :-)
Hi Faye, since you use Instagram as well, you should check out @steepshot. Be warned, it's very very early and not yet ready for prime time, but basically it's Instagram only the posts go to the Steem blockchain, so it's a simple effortless way to share your art and hopefully get a little money for it too.
Oooo sounds interesting, I'll definitely check it out! Really into this kind of stuff at the moment. Thank you for the suggestion :-)
Big fan of your work, welcome to Steemit! Enjoy and explore! Lots of artistic talent here and a great community to share with. Cheers!
@fayehalliday , welcome to steemit. Awesome talent you've got. Enjoy posting :))
Love your art. I think you will love Steemit
Wow... amazing artwork; very powerful and intense imagery! It's wonderful to see so many talented artists check in from all corners of the world-- looking forward to more! Greetings from the US Pacific Northwest!
wow me quede atonito con tu trabajo! Que arte y que placer que seas parte de steemit. Vas a ver que dentro de poco me diras que es la mejor red social, pq realmente lo es! Mas que bienvenida a Steemit, un placer que nos enriquezcas con tu arte!
Por ahi lei que te gustaba Santaolalla. Que orgullo que lo nombraras porque es argentino como yo. Amo Bajo Fondo y toda la musica que el hace.
Espero que hables español, porque si no, escribi todo esto sin sentido, jaja
Abzo grande y esperando mas de tus trabajos!
Nice to see some more artists here, you are the kind of energy the steemit community needs! I will be following and watching for more work!

Very cool! I normally blog about crypto and tech but I am trying to become more in tune with my creative side. I am going to do a post soon about a tech/ art project that I need advice on, would love if you give some tips. Nice job!
now that is a post you can use the art tag on... I cannot possibly express how gorgeous I find that mural... you deserve to be recognized.
Amazing artwork! And you seem like quite an interesting individual.. I also know what it's like sorta becoming a recluse to focus on my passions in life.. Welcome to the platform and good luck here on steemit! Upvoted and I followed you.
Love the music in the back ground excellent choice of a fusion between jazz, hip hop, with multicultural influences and the Artwork is one of a kind, It's a masterpiece you are truly talented. watching the video creates an ambiance of appreciation and amazement. Keep up the good work, this was an enlightening experience, partaking a journey through Faye Halliday's vision observing her gift.
This one was intentionally a mountain lion, but I like it when people have their own interpretations of what it could be. I have one piece that some people think is a wolf, others a goat or even a bat haha. So yes, it's a TigerCat if you see that :-)
