Christmas is not celebrated in Israel. So while you all sit around the Christmas tree with your family and enjoy the snow and time off, we work. And it's sunny and hot outside. But this Christmas, I got a special surprise in the mail: a signed print by my favorite artist on steemit: gorgeous Sylvanas by @beekart . And it's awesome.
When I first discovered Rogier's work, I knew I was in love. I instantly followed, got him an upgoat from minnowbooster, sent the link to his profile to my art-loving husband, then proceeded to stalk poor Rogier on every platform possible (Facebook, Discord and YouTube).
Since I was losing hope of EVER winning one of those raffles, I convinced him to set up an Etsy shop. If I can't win it, might as well buy it, right? Or maybe get a print of it on a shirt! But I kept entering the raffle and the universe smiled at me. Not only did I get the print I won, but being a stalker and avid supporter paid off - I got a few more surprises in the (mostly undamaged) envelope from @beekart .
I don't often do videos. I like to say that I have a face for radio and a voice for print. But since I really wanted to share my joy with you, here are @mrlightning and myself being grateful and excited.
@beekart, thank you for making my Christmas festive. Steemit, thank you for leading me to some amazing artists, inspiring authors and brilliant technologists. <3
