Here is my submission to [another cool contest](https://steemit.com/steem/@sndbox/crypto-art-and-design-challenge-round-7-steem) by @sndbox. Those guys doing really cool things. Check them out. You still have 1-2 days to participate by the way!

### Inspiration

Van Gogh is one of my main daily inspirations and here was a task to do something in a style everyone will understand. I thought that STEEM blockchain is real masterpiece and I guess it was the main @sndbox guys thought as well once they've announced this contest. So this here is ideal combination.

### Sketching

Here was my first sketch. But I've found it is not so similar to Van Gogh portrait so I've done another one. Second try was more sucessfull.

I've combined it with the logo to check out what's happening. Understood nothing but still walked further. I am unstoppable. Even while sicking. Hopefully.

If you are like Mac and have time machine you could revert back in time and see how I've easily colored this genius portrait. Oh, I meant the portrait of Genius.

And then just used my pencil brush added those Gogh stylish strokes. I love them! Uniqness!

I am sure will not win the contest because there are many strong submissions expected. But it was fun to take part. Thanks a lot!
