Sometimes it just clicks into place. Like this new idea of mine. I have given myself a new job. ## The Official Steem Blockchain Creative Commons Crypto Artist Recruiter! ## This is also why I've filled this post with art from my fave Steemian-artists! ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmbEGrKVcjSYWwg7anyBr8AtHkJUVrX2Hyj9ijSBQX2BUo/image.png) *By the great @overkillcoin whom I can happily call my steemit amigo* ## I’ve got an eye for finding good artistes and I’ve got the power of persuasive speech so I am combining these two. ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXNXeV3tkhYAMKV18aKGtR3eD7gpHAFi4BzvVVDJxLdH1/image.png) **By @yusaymon** # What I’ll actually be doing is this : ## I am going to go hunting on ‘traditional’ social media and find good artists that NEED to be on our blockchain. ## Basically stalking them with comments and DM’s telling them about Steem, and if they take the bait, I’ll be sending them a Steeminvite so that they can start becoming part of our blockchain asap! ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdWwC6VvwGxZShJCZuK5MRkhhmTNf6zbRNNzPupVGdUGg/image.png) **I am fully aware that using Steeminvite will temporarily drain my SP and I will be spending 0.100 $Steem each time I get an artist onto Steem.** # But hey, it is TOTALLY worth it! *Art is the expression of our hearts.* # And it needs to be seen more and used more. ## I stand behind the @slothicorn principles in which we feel that the idea that an artist should starve for their art is outdated. ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUwYufBMr7CPYe3FhidC4StH7xM2TnvuYKhPfWYygysED/image.png) *By @cryptocomic* ## You deserve to thrive creating from the heart and doing the shit that makes you happy! ## I am going to stop rambling on about how fucking great art is and how necessary it is for our world, and just put the necessary reads that a newbie artiste on our blockchain should read! ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmcrn1L5EhP1jZSXxAf6EV9SG5eYcNAk2Uwgq6XCmWdrtm/image.png) # Hello new artist of the Steemit blockchain! ## How happy I am that you are here! Let me start off by saying that if you have any questions, you can ALWAYS reach out to me via various channels. Twitter : https://twitter.com/AshleyKalila Discordapp : ashleykalila#9551 Steemit.chat : ashleykalila E-mail : ashleykalila@protonmail.com I will do my best to find out the answer for you! And if I don’t know it, I have a lot of Steemit friends who have a wealth of knowledge about this great blockchain and whom I’ll put you in touch with! ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmb5qTTvACaWcGGBZEU2W2DTQPN8yqBuhtuXdB8aNXspNb/image.png) *By @fabiyamada* You may think who is this Ashley Kalila person? *Let me introduce myself.* I am a woman whom consciously decides to live from her heart, be authentic in every moment (even though it can be ugly and negative at times), likes to help people and writes intuitively. I believe in a life where freedom and love are the center pieces. And blockchain has become an integral part of that dream coming into fruition. On the steem blockchain, I help people, inspire with my words, support artists (cos I love art!) and just try to be a good egg of a human being! I have my own project called @humansofsteemit where I interview people on the blockchain. I shitpost stupid stuff on @drunkonmilk I am part of the wonderful @ocd curation guild. I write my own blog. And I am part of the @slothicorn movement. Which is the reason why you are reading this post! ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUa1a7bdqHDybp4NJCxwZTRxBQxk14uzmvFH6nUqpNSsQ/image.png) *I was slothicornified by @drawingly* ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdWwC6VvwGxZShJCZuK5MRkhhmTNf6zbRNNzPupVGdUGg/image.png) You may be wondering, what the hell is this all about? Well as you have read above, I am recruiting artists to hop onto our blockchain because I believe art is very much needed and I believe that YOU will be of great value to this whole online space. Below are a few sources that will give you a head start on your journey! ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdWwC6VvwGxZShJCZuK5MRkhhmTNf6zbRNNzPupVGdUGg/image.png) If you’ve read some of the things and want to have a Steemit account, please let me know so I can create a Steeminvite for you. Steeminvite is basically a service that allows me to create an account for you instantaneously so you don’t have to wait the few days that it takes for a ‘normal’ account to be made. (See? I want to make your life easier!) ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdWwC6VvwGxZShJCZuK5MRkhhmTNf6zbRNNzPupVGdUGg/image.png) So here ya go, these are the articles : [Five Articles Every New Steemian Needs To Read](https://steemit.com/steemit/@ashleykalila/five-articles-every-new-steemian-needs-to-read) by @ashleykalila These 5 articles are (in my opinion) the most comprehensive put-together articles on how this place really works. You’ll find pretty much everything in there. So by the time, you’ve read this, all it’s pretty much more about the ‘doing’ part. A must read! ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQaXayozuyQMrsvx3UmSHK8T1xWAJuhorfzkSuvhdriPC/image.png) *By @yoogyart* This whole jump into the art world started with @slothicorn (more about that later). In this post, I explain what the basic principles are of what I do here to support artists! [Yesss! Found Another Way To Give Back To The Steemit Community](https://steemit.com/art/@ashleykalila/yessss-found-another-way-to-give-back-to-the-steemit-community) So now that you understand the idea, let me introduce you to @slothicorn’s off-white paper. It was written by @stellabelle who is the leader of our Slothicorn movement and is bringing big changes to the artist world with her visionary ideas! (You should definitely follow her when you’ve got your Steem account!) [Slothicorn Philosophy: Preview to the Off-White Paper](https://steemit.com/slothicorn/@slothicorn/slothicorn-philosophy-preview-to-the-off-white-paper) by @stellabelle Slothicorn was specifically started as the cryptoart movemet but has spread it’s wings to include ALL creative commons art! By creating your art under the Creative Commons license, you are setting it free! Plus you make it WAY easier for content creators to use it in their posts and therefore you’d be more easily awarded with those precious SBD’s that’ll be transferred to you! **I am very much encouraging you to create under the CC license.** **I have seen the art community flourish tremendously with the influx of artists creating under the license and a real gift economy connection happening with fellow Steemians across the board.** ## It has truly been a major gamechanger! The BEST way to contact other Slothicornians is to join the Discord server! Make yourself an account on Discordapp.com and get a-mingling. I’ve got a great read for you to make you understand all the different chats and things happening in this busy server.
