hi ))
i'm hoping i can interest you in a trade ?? - ))
.. a short bio - ))
i am an artist living in British Columbia, Canada. For the past 9 years i have lived a 'wandering monk' style life. AT the start of this trek, i gave away all that i had, including all of my collected possessions, iD, and bank accounts. i got by, as a volunteer on many different farms, earing enough .. to keep me going - )) For the first 6 years of this trek .. i lived on very little and learned allot about myself, including the incredible 'personal balancing' power of meditation; which i practice, each morning for 20 minutes before breakfast. For the past 2 years, i have been well taken care of by a couple "very successful" entrepreneurs, who allow me live in one of their 'heated green houses' .. and, i receive 'fiat cash' for odd jobs - ))
i'm age 46 .. so, probably as far out of 'main stream' as any Canadian male 'can be' .. without living on welfare and on the street begging ... albeit, my choice (( = not a sliver of "poor me"-)))). This 'trajectory' has garnered many beautiful insights, and a powerful 'intuition' .. that likely, only i will be able to appreciate .. ha ha - ))
However, i trust it translates well .. in my art ?? - ))
i have been fortunate to have computer access throughout this journey and, since i've never owned a phone, nor a cell phone .. having a computer to use, has allowed me to communicate with friends and family .. plus, granted me allot of time to research all the subjects that have interested me; including the expanding 'freedom' that block chain technology "IS" !!!
Which brings me to BIT SHARES !!! !!!
i see a TREMENDOUS OPPORT'UNITY in BIT SHARES !!! .. and with the price NOW .. being as low .. as it will EVER BE !!! .. i'm hoping that i can both, continue my current path 'and' participate "in" this wonderful opportunity !?!?! - ))
i signed up for an account with BIT SHARES today - ))
Account name ... fun-along-theway
DUe to the 'nature' of STEEM .. i believe there are MANY savvy "freedom LOVERS" and "investors" here on STEEM, who also "see" .. the MASSIVE UP-SIDE !!! of BIT SHARES .. and, who will recognize the 'value' and 'fun', in playing this opportunity, in OUR 'own' way .. utilizing the STEEM platform !?! - )))
What i can offer is two-fold ...
Either, an original piece of art, or .. a commissioned piece of art - ))
i believe in 'free markets' .. so i will not list any prices.
IN that, i will give the 'approximate' time it has taken me to create any originals, and , i will accept the first offer that 'feels' fair (( or, the highest offer, over an approximate 2 day period, allowing for apposing bids )). For commissioned pieces, you name your price and size; i will give an honest effort for the amount of "your choice" (( the higher the commission price = more detailed and intricate the piece )), then before mailing the piece, i will show you what i've created .. with the opportunity for you to 'reject' the commissioned piece, if it doesn't 'suit' you - )) All of my creations have a home .. so any rejections, are simply lacking 'fit' .. and, i appreciate both, 'honesty' and, personal self-worth - ))
SO .. let's get to the ART !!! - )))
First a few recent examples.
i did a commissioned piece for
.. the agreement was, a postcard sized 30 minute project, for 7 SBD
(( full disclosure .. this took a bit longer than 30 minutes- ))))))
i also recently, did a 'trade' with
but, my first attempt didn't "feel" right ?? ??
SO .. i created this for her - ))
(( due to the nature of this 'trade' .. no disclosure of time here !! - ))
(( and, the likely hood, of her seeing this post = no pressure ))
(( sincerely .. i'd ""HAPPILY"" accept doddle's from your kids !!! - )))
ha ha - )))))))
This piece i did as a thank YOU for a friend - ))
He is a talented 'glass blowing' ARTIST, that created an water spinning invention for me (( i will be showing that in an up coming post )) .. and, he gave me a pair of hockey skates ! - ))

(( approximately 15 hours of creation time ))
Here are a few originals .. i will accept offers on.
(( #1 ... approximately 15 hours of creation time ))

(( #2 ... approximately 15 hours of creation time ))

(( #3 ... approximately 10 hours of creation time ))
(( #4 ... approximately 5 hours of creation time ))
IF .. you'd like to see some of other creations ?? - ))
A couple final notes .. please include, 5 - 6 $'s in your bid for packaging and postage .. much appreciated - )) .. and, although it'd be great for my ego to see a couple people trying to out-bid one another on a piece (( ha ha )) .. i'd rather create something new !! .. so, if someone has made a 'fair' bid .. please consider a commissioned piece ?? - ))
Lastly .. i do not upvote my own posts or, comments (( 16 days in, now )) .. and "NOT" in protest "NOR", in question of anyone's actions here on STEEM. My explanation can be found in this post. i am only stating my actions here, as an alternative ... if no one would like to trade for BIT SHARES .. i will accept STEEM .. to help power UP my account - )))
Thank YOU .. for your time and consideration !! - ))
i hope you've enjoyed the art ? - ))))
and, i "really" hope, you want to trade for some bit shares ??? - ))))
