It feels good to be back to Snekking with my fellow Steem fam! Sorry I've been away so long. Long story, watch for my return in a week or so. For now I'd like to introduce you to a newcomer to the platform whom I think is going to be an important blogger and podcaster to follow here.

His name is Mark Passio and he can be found on Steemit as @mpassio. I've followed Mark's lectures and writing through social media for several years now and even met him and saw one of his talks live at Free Your Mind 4 in Philly a three years ago. He is a former satanist turned truther and leader of a radical anarchist punk rock band out of the City of Brotherly Love.

I hope you will get as much out of his incredibly deep lectures as I and many others have. Leave him a nice welcome comment and I will be inviting him on my podcast upon my return from hiatus.

I've run into this talented artist a few times on the blockchain, and upon checking back in on him, he's been up to some pretty cool projects! If you happen to be in Malaysia today, he, along with @djlethalskillz are putting on a workshop centered around hip hop, blockchain awareness and how to be an entrepreneur with your music in this digital age. I've been way less present on the blockchain than I'd like, but whenever I return, I see some very inspiring meetups happening!

I think it's important to educate people about the blockchain and how we can use it to our advantage, especially for artists of all flavors. We tend to be a little less tech savvy, so it's awesome to hear about these types of workshops.

To end this awesome post, he features his music "Hip Hop the Blockchain," which has some pretty clever lyrics I think you will enjoy. Go check his post out and keep your eyes open for more of these types of events!

I've only ever done one still life in my life, but if there's one thing I learnt from that single experience, they're more difficult than they seem. @ligarayk shares with us his latest attempt at still life as part of an exercise for his drawing class.

He really gets into it, explaining and showing his whole process, and the differences between using an actual scene as a reference and a picture of that same scene. If you're a drawing student, then you'll definitely want to check out his post! If not, still, the time and effort that went into it is worth a read and your love in the form of an upvote and comment would be appreciated ;)
