___________________ ## My Charcoal Painting 🎨 ## https://steemit.com/slothicorn/@adelepazani/4nq97t-my-charcoal-painting Author: @adelepazani Curator: @nicnas ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmazooSwJwWHae8hxwFjwHAdP3zwTnSSZkBoDKAV1Uo2GX/CYMERA_20180313_105716.jpg) -=- I have some experience with art, especially painting, and one thing I have learned is that working with only charcoal is very difficult. At least for me anyways. But when you nail it, the products look amazing. Ill now introduce you to someone who has nailed it. I mean really nailed it. @adelepazani shares on such piece with us in this post. I am disappointed that I am sharing it after its payout today. But that doesn't mean you cannot still show your support with a comment and an upvote on another post. -=- -----

This one is by @artizm and it using acrylic medium. Using the acrylic the contrast is amazing and the use of thinner, or water, to make a watercolor like effect is really nice. Keep up the good work, I look forward to seeing more. Ohh and by the way my teachers have always rushed me to finish b/c I took too long. Maybe its just part of your style. -=- -----

Doron also shares some information on the running community and their bot. Check out his last week of runs including a map and paths for his runs. WIsh I could join you, not in shape to be running and keeping up with you guys. Good luck in the marathon also. -=- -----

_______________ ## New Signature Logo and a Brief Explanation How It Got That Way ## https://steemit.com/blog/@suprepachyderm/new-signature-logo-and-a-brief-explanation-how-it-got-that-way Author: @suprepachyderm Curator: @nicnas ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmeGH6gHiAw9jZBK9MgxBqYrpA6KavEKzWPyjpSgAPxCPM/Ovioc%20Logo%20(Transparent)_preview.png) -=- Today I share a post and story of how @suprepachyderm was born. OKAY, not how he was born but his user name suprepachyderm. It all started with back in 2005 with a name he tried to create on xbox, superelephant. Well that's all I tell you. If you want to hear the rest you should check out his post. It’s a quick read but really interesting. -=- -----

___________ ## NO ONE CAN MAKE YOU FEEL INFERIOR WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT ## https://steemit.com/life/@sameer777/no-one-can-make-you-feel-inferior-without-your-consent Author: @sameer777 Curator: @nicnas ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYWPjJ1cqCTpe2bBeVCeUUkch7ZyZgfAkdbPMaiJ7wxnG/Self%2BDegradation.jpg) -=- @sameer777 brings up a good point about humans and how we control our own feelings. We tend to let others affect us greatly and influence who we are. But why? Two of the points he brings up are controlling one's own emotions and being confident. As a poker player these are two things that I stress in the game. But not just in poker, in real life. Emotional well being and confidence can make or break our goals, our stress levels and just about everything. -=- -----
