Good morning, Steemit! I’ve been relishing in the unbelievable growth of the community in the last couple of weeks. I’ve been following a ton of new users. Just yesterday, I stumbled across a couple from Denmark, 
Hive account@cruetzy and 
Hive account@meanmommy33 and 
Hive account@velimir, a film maker, director from Croatia. Also, seeing STEEM move up the ranks in the Twitter polls and crypto-listings supports all the positivity being generated around Steemit. I helped my friend 
Hive account@brianpolitte set up his Bitpay card last night, and watched him make his first purchase with rewards he earned here! Incredible artist. If you aren’t following him, he just made a new post titled “The Observer graphite drawing”.
Something that came across my feed yesterday was a post about 
Hive account@steemshop, “Steemshop launches to life with an upgraded system!”. It got me thinking about the goods and art I’ve sold over the years, and how those could be made available through Steemit. For years, I ran an apparel line of the same name, Kommienezuspadt. More a brand, then it was meant to be a reflection of myself. My first design […and popular enough that I still see one in the wild throughout Minneapolis from time to time], was a circular Ramones-esk logo, followed by a German design, and a Japanese stamp design. Kommienezuspadt was sold, on the backs of the professional wrestling and MMA shirts I designed for companies in both countries. You can read about my past life as a pro wrestling/MMA apparel designer in one of my earliest Steemit posts, “Art and violence shaped my future!”.
In more recent years, the wares I sell tend to be photography prints and fine art. I even have a zine project called “IV.”, I’ve been working on for a year, and of course, the Steemit inspired crypto-comic I’ve been sketching for the last six months called Cryptopia. Hive account@steemshop is a great idea, and I can certainly see a time where the CraigsList of Steemit is a bustling, thriving ecosystem […especially once the communities go live]. In the mean time, though, there’s absolutely nothing keeping me from making some art available to Steemit now.
So, with that, I’m making five of my most popular prints available for order to anywhere in the world. Photography from the last two years of my career, shot in LA, Minneapolis and NYC. Micheline Pitt, 
Hive account@vintagevandalizm, Ryan Ashley, Maria and Abbie […haunting photo perfect for any Victorian or goth home] and New Zealand vintage blogger and pinup, Miss Victory Violet. Photos are all color, 12” x 18” and available for 25.000 STEEM or 15.000 SBD within the continental US, or 35.000 STEEM or 20 SBD for International orders. Prices are going to change, naturally, but I’ll honor these until the end of May regardless of STEEM and SBD volatility.
Here are a look at the photos I'm offering.
Vintage Vandalizm
Steemit’s own, Hive account@vintagevandalizm! Here’s a photo from my first shoot with Hive account@vintagevandalizm. The beginning of an incredible friendship and collaborative relationship together, taken in Las Vegas.
Ryan Ashley Malarkey
New photo from our most recent shoot for Inked magazine following her win on Spike TV’s Inkmaster reality show.
Micheline Pitt
Former start of “American’s Next Top Model” and designer for Pinup Girl Clothing, Micheline now has her own brand called Vixen, doing amazing things in the world of vintage inspired fashion. I’m lucky to call this inspiring woman a friend. Photographed in the Spirit Room of automata creator, Thomas Kuntz.
Abbie and Maria
This shoot was finally brought to life with these two talented Minnesota based models. A concept I’ve wanted to execute for years. Doe eyed porcelain girls in nature, dark and somber.
Miss Victory Violet
From my first shoot during Viva Las Vegas, only hours before Miss Victory Violet won the prestigious patent event in 2015. She has since gone on to become a company spokeswoman for the biggest brands in vintage clothing and is an internationally renowned blogger.
