In my continued effort to promote and improve the artistic community here on Steemit I am doing a weekly curation! Most of the artists I have chosen are still minnows and are waiting to be discovered and others that I will feature have just plain impressed me!
My first selection this week is the new account @beelzebub. This is the secondary account of musician @carlgnash where he will be posting his amazing artwork and speaking from the point of view of Beelzebub. This image is from his introduction post titled "Game of Beat the Weak":

My next selection is the talented @marty-art. Marty's painting skills and creativity have impressed me since I first discovered her account. She makes high quality posts often showing her process and collaborates with @richq11 on a fiction series! This is her most recent piece titled "Fat Birds Don't Fly":

I discovered @yogjoshi just this week when he entered my contest ART EXPLOSION. He only joined in august but his page is already filled with fantastic art and I think he will be very successful on Steemit! This piece is titled "Indian City" and is a mix of traditional and digital mediums:

My fourth selection this week is @yusaymon! Yu is one of the first artists I befriended on Steemit and his diversity, productivity and creativity are top notch. He does visual arts both traditional and digital, music, karaoke, writing and more. If you haven't followed him yet you should do so his art will surely brighten up your feed! This is a recent piece he created for a contest honouring Lauralemons:

My last find for this week is @fr3eze who does great illustrations. This piece is titled "The Venom" and is done using acrylic colours on paper, you can see his process in gif form at the link below:

If you enjoyed these artists please give them a follow and some encouragement!
I would like to invite all the artists featured and those who are reading this to join the Minnowsupport Project! It's a great way to network, gain followers and chat with your peers in a more relaxed environment.
I have made a newbie guide for joining MSP here:We also have a bot called @msp-creativebot that is designed to help the creative community!

Hello, first time I saw your Ocean of Art post. I looked them all 4, you found really nice things out there in the big ocean!
Great initiative!
Thank you, I hope you found some amazing artists to follow!
Yes indeed. Some I followed already, but I also found some new ones. :D
Checking them out now!
You probably already know a few of these but hopefully you found some new people as well :)
Julia, thanks for sharing my work! :-) Love everyone else's artwork as well!
My pleasure I look forward to seeing more of it!

Great selection a artists here once again!!!! ... Really great!!!
Thankyou for your support @juliakponsford !!!! YOU ROCK!!!!!!!
Thanks termite! I see you started an mc contest! Awesome, I hope it blossoms and you get a community going :)
Thankyou!! It was a spur of the moment thing so I'm stiil learning, but yeah, I think it has the potential to be great!!! Huge learning curve on here but I'm having fun!!! You have had a part in letting me see that curve, let alone understand it, so thanyou again and again!! I got your crypto-back Julia K!!!
I like the first one! Great idea to choose and curate such a things here.
Always great to find new artists! Gnashster is rad. I found him a while ago and he does awesome things with digital. Good post! Gonna go find people to follow!
Yeah carl gnash is one of my favourite musicians here and his art is great too!
Thank u very much Julia!! I´ll be checking all the artist !!
Wow that's awesome art! That top piece got me piqued! Nice job discovering him. 💕
He's in chat quite often you probably know him as gnasher :) ❤️
the artist known as "Gnashster" to be precise, and yes he is the one who summoned me into this existence
This is some wonderful art. I'll follow them.
yummy all of these are delicious... puts on my breakfast platter
Really dope stuff o here!!!
It's so awesome that you are helping out so many minnows.
wow stunning!
Yes such great artworks and sharing. Well, thanks for what you are doing for those artists, helping them to be viewed.
@juliakponsford I am impressed with your discernment - for someone who has not even attained their first century, you are amazingly perceptive! What a great collection of artists and wonderful art you have compiled here. I am a big supporter of the arts in general and artists, tortured souls that they are, are one of my "target audiences".
BTW have you met my relative @belial yet? Over time I plan on summoning more of my extended family to this mortal realm. When there are enough of us to form the five points of a pentagram I will instruct you on the proper arts of summoning and supplication to allow you to call on us - we will be able to connect you with older and darker powers still, surely useful as you build your Empire of Steem.
Cheers - Beelze
Hi Julia
I should mention that @belial is not such a friendly devil as myself. Then again, he is more of a lead by example type while I rely on my charm and wit to corrupt mortals.
This sounds terrifying but I'm looking forward to it!

Thanks again!
