12k members! what next?

19 Upvotes

We just hit 12,000 members. That sounds cool but i honestly have no idea how far we have come. I have not been keeping tabs on the community size. We have ebbed and flowed for sure, with some new stuff getting posted a few times a day lately, and I love the activity.

Please let me know what you like, what you dislike, what you want to see, and what you want to do with this space. Let's see if we can make it happen and make the sub better.

I wish i had more time to be more active. However I am usually able to check in 5-10x per week. Either way, thank you to those of you who keep actively posting and showing your growth!

Found this at my local game/record shop! First time I've seen something like this in my area. I am from the more traditional graff scene but thought this was worthy for this sub lol.

I have the exact moment

My big lotus turtle

is so you can dance slowly

up but slow

I have an empty album no adventures

I've seen it almost daily it's empty you're not here

step on the dance floor when you dance

among lights there’s darkness and you withdraw

the showcase isn’t for photos or altars

Put a bottle of mezcal and say cheers

the showcase is still full of alcohol

my love I write you in pencil those letters

and text on my phone

The lost Cost 🌃

the street is mutating original 🆕➡️

Warrior Horse Riders

7 Upvotes

This is a hand drawn and handmade artwork by me. I drew the horse riders on a white paper using black ink ball point pen and cut it accordingly and pasted it on a black cardsheet using glue. Then I made a Persian-Arabic calligraphic design on the black cardsheet, around the Horse Riders, using a white ink gel pen.
