This is my entry for the Pay it forward Curation contest by @thedarkhorse.

This time, I'm stuck at an airport and airport hotel after my flight was cancelled. I was rebooked onto a really early flight this morning, so apologies if I'm not completely coherent at the moment. My brain feels like it is skipping a few seconds every now and then....

Artwork

@jeltron (rep 43) is an artist from San Francisco (I think that is in America?), and he makes graphic novels. In this post, he describes his love and skill with the art of gesture drawing. I find it pretty amazing, seeing as I can't draw anything that isn't blocky!

Fiction and Art

@fictionspawn (rep 48) is a writer and an artist, posting original art and writing, crossposted from the website fictionspawn. This week, they have us an intriguing story about a Crazy Cat Lady accompanied by the artwork above!

Team Australia

My feature for the third primal slot was a group that was (and still is) critical for my continued growth in Steemit. However, it is unfortunately not useful for everyone in Steemit...

@teamaustralia is the national group for Australian Steemians. Born from the PAL initiative, it accepts Australian (and maybe NZ?) Steemians that have applied and been vetted to be Australian (usually by publicly riding a rideshare kangaroo and eating a jar of Vegemite), the latest recruitment post is here.

There is a vibrant and supportive community with continued support from Australian witnesses and multiple community support and curation accounts such as @teamaustralia, @centerlink, @mrsquiggle and @anzub).

The early Australian Steemit pioneers have had the foresight and generosity to firm this community to assist fellow Australians (even those living overseas) to grow. I am in continued debt to their support, as their support in the early days of my account was essential.

Thanks @teamaustralia!
