Hello Steemit Users This is a Reintroduction

My name is Johnny Darko A.K.A. Kid Darko some call me Dorko 🤓. I have been on steemit nearly 1 year now. I recently took about 2 month vacation from steemit. With the boost in users joining steemit during my absence & since, I felt it would be a good time to reintroduce myself to the community. I will start with how I became familiar with the steemit platform. I was streaming on twitch.tv creating some art live when a user asked me if I could draw a Pokemon with a steemit logo on his belly and he would donate me $20. I say sure why not. In truth I would have just done it free anyway. So I draw Blastoise with the steemit logo on his belly and whilst doing so he explains the steemit platform to me. This user is @acidyo , Thanks again buddy! Apprehensive at first I decide to trust @acidyo and look into "steemit" to see what its all about. I witnessed blog posts with 1k+ payouts on them and was intrigued to say the least. I dug deeper eventually giving in and signing up for my own user account. At the time the platform was dominated by blogs about crypto and blockchain with only a hand full of artist quality artists posting work. I felt my work might be noticed and have a home here. I think steemit is a place where we can all shine! I now see what I had hoped to see when I joined which is a many many talented artist joining and posting on steemit. So many in fact it's hard for me to keep up with all the new artists joining. I don't want to make this post so long it loses peoples attention so if you would like to know more about me feel free to ask questions in the comments.

Photography

I am no professional when it comes to photography but I do feel I have an artistic eye and I have been learning a lot in the past 8 months. I really look forward to learning more and have had a lot of help from the steemit community. Photography is a stress relieving activity for me so I shoot mostly nature but also will start doing some cosplay photoshoots in the near future. Below are some of my favorite photos I have taken.

Camera: Canon Rebel SL1

Modeling

Not only do I like to take pictures but I like having my picture taken. So much that I took up modeling and have done some interesting stuff. I have done a few different types of modeling from Clothing, fashion, nude & live webcam modeling. Both my wife @denvermax & I post nsfw content of our modeling so if that is something you would rather not see but would like to follow make sure you have your nsfw filter set to "always warn" in the settings tab.

Below are some of my PG modeling pics. click images to enlarge

Gaming

I have been playing video games since I could pick up a controller. Video games have always been a part of my life. I feel they are good stress relief. I prefer retro games for the most part. I do get into some newer games but mostly I play and stream retro games on a website called twitch.tv. I like to speedrun Mario games and also The Lion King on SNES. Below I have provided some examples of my speedruns & gaming. Enjoy!
