Achievement 1: @crazyverse - introduction to the Newcomer’s Community

Hello my fellow steemit lovers.

I really hope you’re enjoying this lovely place.

My birth name is Olumide Adebowale,
my username is @crazyverse. I’m 25, a student of fine art at university of Lagos.
I am a citizen of Nigeria, born in Lagos, the most urban city in Nigeria.
Being the second eldest child and the first son in a poor family of seven (including my mom and dad), I was determined to succeed and that was the basis for my discipline.
I grew up being the smartest child but somehow seen as the black sheep in the family.
It doesn’t mean I disrespected my parents, but I won’t believe taboos and superstitious beliefs that African parents passes to their children through storytelling.
I am a lover of tech and science fictions and I often painted weird arts which my parents are usually concerned about.

I am also a lover of literature. I make research and write everyday, from my art descriptions to drafting ideas and sometimes poems. I once freelanced as a copywriter.
For me it is somehow hard to differentiate hobby and career as I am versatile all around art.

From writing to painting traditionally to digital painting,
Being a lover of tech, I got into NFT art and got interested in crypto.
Within the past two years I have created Digital paintings which I minted on BNB, FLOW and ETH.

I had always thought about being compensated for my writing hobby.

I found steemit on google.com
I was looking for platforms that I could publish my articles on and I discovered that I could actually earn from my blogs.

Thanks to www.updatifynow.com

The website explained the basic things I need to know about steemit and being a crypto enthusiast, I couldn’t wait to start earning steam lol.

My first attempt with achievement 1 submission wasn’t approved because I didn’t follow up the instructions properly but I can’t give up… why should I?
Since my arrival on the platform, I’ve learned a lot about communities and I can’t really wait to meet new friends.
I’ve seen people do well on this platform and I intend to learn from them. I have also enjoyed reading and I followed interesting blog posts since I arrived on the platform.
I don’t think I’m weird, I think art has changed me and I intend to share my inspirations here.
As much as I’m looking for motivators and mentors here, I don’t like stalking and I will never do it. I like being unique and uncommon.
Finally I promise to do my best in keeping the rules of this platform and continue to contribute positively to steemit if I am favored this time.

Thank you
Best regards
@crazyverse
