Good day to Steemians everywhere, this is your favourite trail show brought to you by Steem Trail and , The Inkpot, our guest for this week is the amazing
. This is the second part of the interview, you can read the first part here

...
Ogochukwu: What is your favourite under appreciated work of art ?
Meesterboom: I have a skyscape of Glasgow by David Kerr on my wall. Its fab. No one knows who he is. He sells his stuff in odd places and lots of it is great.
Ogochukwu: You are also a food blogger,how did your journey through the kitchen start?
Meesterboom: With Chillies!! Heat, Spice and fire!! I am obsessed with chillies. I rarely eat anything without them. I come from a family where no-one could cook. So for me I had to learn from scratch all by myself. I have made some fantastic things and some diabolical things. I think I am quite a good cook though :O)
Ogochukwu: What way do you think is the best way to Market Steem/Steemit?
Meesterboom: I think we should all take some responsibility. Whether that be by telling others about steemit or posting our work on other sites such as twitter. There are many ways. I think the Steemit dudes have the right idea with the crowdsourcing idea although I would like to see some mainstream campaign of some kind.
Not in steemit itself but on other sites. I think also when the app is complete there should be some big push on it
Ogochukwu: Have you read anything that made you think differently about art?
Meesterboom: No, I mostly read Sci Fi and Fantasy and those books just make me imagine I am not confined to this harsh empty shell of a world
Ogochukwu: What is the first book that made you cry?
Meesterboom: No book has ever touched that blackened coal of a heart of mine in that way. If one had I would burn it. I would burn it and never tell anyone. Never.
Ask me if I have ever burnt a book
Ogochukwu: Did you have any form of online presence before steemit
Meesterboom: Nah. I had the usual shitey social media accounts. I also wrote some 'witty' reviews on amazon that seemed to be popular. So popular in fact that I started getting sent free stuff. It was all tat though. I started to make the reviews a bit more satirical and they soon stopped sending me anything, Except bitterness.
Ogochukwu: What Other Apps would you like to see on the Steem Blockchain?
Meesterboom: I only want to see one and that is a Steemit branded slick and easy to use app that has been well tested for bugs that any old joe could use and marvel at its beauty and simplicity.
Oh yeah and Steepshot will be good once its ironed out a few kinks
Ogochukwu: What is your Advice for New Steemians who just joined the community?
Meesterboom: I have said this many times on many posts and replies to new chaps. Engage. Be social. Write regularly, vote and comment on other peoples work. Do not just shit post then rage when the millions dont come flying in. It takes work, but if you put the effort in you will get rewarded and that doesnt always mean monetarily.
Ogochukwu: Before Steem where you involved with crypto-currencies
Meesterboom: Pfft, I say pfft because I don't know how to type a farting noise. No, not at all. The only thing I had ever heard of was Bitcoin. I had no idea there was more than that. Now I do though. Now I am crypto man. Cut me and I bleed crypto! Well, first I bleed steemit then I bleed a wee bit of crypto.
Ogochukwu: As an artist what is your best advice for handling criticism?
Meesterboom: I ain't really an artist but in life I have found that the best way to deal with criticism is of course to find said criticizers and beat them soundly, at least until they squeal, preferably with a stout piece of wood. I myself carry a silver topped cane for this very purpose.
