Drawings in the commentssteemCreated with Sketch.

in #art5 years ago (edited)

Some time ago I invented the tag: nowords inspired by @shortcut and @roused who at the time was super-tag-inventors.

The posts had only non-written content like music, drawings, photos or videoclips, but the really funny part of it was the comments. People answered in riddles and rebuses (@vcelier is a master of rebuses), had strange association games with gifs or youtube music and just had plain fun in the textless realm.

Some of the treads really went wild, but I have a hard time finding old things on Steemit so this is just an example: https://steemit.com/nowords/@katharsisdrill/nowords-vii


Comments are really a great place to exchange non-textual content. A couple of days ago @shortcut and I started a comic in the comments... the comicomments so to speak. He wrote about it in this post: My #Inktober Drawings // Part 6, and it ain't finished yet :)

Below are some of the images I have made for comments. Later I have used them for other things like post, but they were all originally from comments.


Made for @steevc. As far as I remember for his rendition of Bowie's Major Tom? EDIT: It was one of his funny home brewed songs about a spaceman, but with a bit of Bowie in it.

Facepalm... very old, can't remember where from...


The hideous smile of Katharsisdrill. Made for @roused, can't find the post.


You can read about the Commentphant here: Some splendid advice on commenting!


Meant as a joke. From the time of the NICE POST-spam-tsunami.


Made for one of @ocrdu's poetic #nowords posts.

Good times remembered!

Indeed!

Great collection! Not many people (I know) put more energy (and creativity) in their comments as you.

The #nowords tag and what evolved from it was really a new genre and also the #commentComic could become an artform on it's own.

Sometimes I wished I could resteem comments to make bring more attention to them, cause the comment section has a huge influence on the success of Steemit.

@donnadavisart puts effort into her comments too!!!!!!!

Could be funny to go hunting for good comments - curating the best comments instead of the best posts or maybe even better, make a posts with the best comments of the week.

Could be very time consuming, but well worth a try.

Yes, maybe we already have our plate full.
