First challenge and rules and then exhibition of all my major Steemit work so far.

Three months ago I started my Steemit journey. I've had such an amazing time with lots of interaction and tons of creativity flowing, but it's also been tough for me because I've had some major back problems, not being able to sit up strait for long periods of time. Through intense rehab and massage I'm finally getting better! To celebrate a non- aching back, 500 followers on Steemit and the vibrant Art Community at Steemit I'm arranging a different sort of Art Contest this time.

As a professional coach I'm a true believer of the potential of people. Although talent can help you getting started and succeed in the short run, skill and hard work is always the way if you want to a achieve something great. I'm using Steemit as my playground to try out new things and develop as an artist. This challenge is made to encourage us to talk about the fact that we all started somewhere and think about the not so sharp line between ugly and beautiful. Everyone makes art we're not proud of, but we should be proud of trying, of being human, of being artists! Please enjoy!
