Yu is an amazing man. He has been on steemit for 8 months. Every day he creates amazing art and videos. This is one of my closest friends here, and a favorite artist of many people!
There are so many incredible people on steemit. He is a wonderful human being, who is art, and is love. I am continuing to be amazed and inspired by his work, maybe you have as well! If not, you are in for a treat!
Let me introduce you to........
@yusaymon
At time of writing this article, he has created 389 posts on steemit. In 8 months!!!
These are not spam posts. This is his Art, his Heart, his Soul!
One of the first people I met on steemit was @yusaymon. I was in #"general-noposting" except it was just called #"general" back then. I was asking Yu if I can use his art for my blog, and he said yes immediately. Has never asked for anything from me, and he even volunteered to create images for me and #art-services.
#art-services is a channel on the #steem-art discord server, as well as a tag on steemit. This is a place to connect artists with eachother and with other bloggers. This way we can share art, collaborate, and use steemian images instead of going to a free stock photo site. Especially when I started I could not afford to give artists much, so I just gave them a tip, for whatever I could afford. When I had a little more later, I gave them some more. This is a good practice for artists and bloggers, because this helps us to share our audiences with eachother. Also, why wouldn't you want to use art from steemit? There is so much of it here!
So anyways, I decided to have a month of appreciation for Yusaymon who adds value to the blockchain, every day! He is an underappreciated artist, only in the sense that many people may not have seen his art yet!
I am sponsoring a contest for "Yusaymon Appreciation Month". Whoever makes the best post(s) about yusaymon gets one month 200sp delegation from me. I am seeking some other sponsors so we can award more prizes, and hopefully something nice for Yu as well.

Thank Yusaymon for being my friend, and for making steemit look good!
