@david
The song comes from @david's diverse sounding project called Mr.Rose and is released in 2005, "The Hitchhiker" by David Werba is truly one of the best pieces of music I came across on the blockchain, it is truly a work of art, from the vocals that are so lush and incredibly blended to the whole production that is spot on and so warm and analogue sounding, Song reminded me on some sounds I really love in the bands like My Bloody Valentine, Smashing Pumpkins and Proclaimers... I applaud you on this outstanding song @david ✌

@darrenclaxton
Breathe is my absolute favorite by Darren Claxton, I heard quite a few songs from him and I've been a fan for some time, but I'm loving even more his recent works, the songs are so tangible and emotionally grounded, there is an obvious love in his creative works that is certainly fueled by his loving family he is surrounded with. I'm deeply touched by this song whenever I hear it, and I absolute love the lyrics. Really amazing work on this one Darren, always looking forward to see you grow and succeed in your endeavors ✌

@nickyhavey
"I Got Something To Say" is just an amazing electronic piece, liquid DnB is what I was introduced to by Nick Havey recently and I'm a fan ever since. Really love the ethereal sounding landscapes and the whole mix, the production values are really spot on, and everything is quite balanced and masterfully done no doubt. I will be completely honest here and say that I have a really big hunch that Nick is going places with his music, there is something specific in his sound that the closest I could compare is High Contrast but he still owns his ever so atmospheric way of musical arrangement.

@jeffguitar
Jeff is a guitar teacher, a surfer, a fellow looper fiend and above all a heart warming dude, every video I see and every piece of music I hear from him transmits to me in an amazing way. He really has a way in creating an amazing instrumental pieces, and he does it often by jamming with his looper, something I really relate to, the best pieces of music comes out of an improv, amazing stuff once again Jeff, its going off bro :fist:

@d-vine
Its really heartwarming to see Denise on this contest, she is an artist I really love and respect as both a musician, producer and a person. First thing that comes to me when hearing her works is the basslines, which are outstanding, paired with the ever so groovey beats with a masterfully dosed rapid hi-hats. In the video below she shows us her live sets and all that beat hungry fiends under the deck dancing like crazy and enjoying themselves, I love the edit and the really chill vibe in the vid, amazing job @d-vine :v:

@megy
My fellow countryman really outdid himself with this piece of art work, just immensely outstanding geometrical slash pointillism beauty, even so more on the beige eco paper he used, reason being him drawing our beautiful planet for the Earth day, a campaign dedicated to Mother Nature. I'm speechless really how into details this piece goes, and how much contrast @megy achieves with a delicate symmetrical touches, I was already a fan and will continue to be, considering him as really one of the best artists I came across online.

@chronocrypto
@chronocrypto is a witness and a token owner right here on the Whaleshares platform, and to my surprise he is an excellent artists as well, no wonder that WS is becoming a mecca of art when some of the top witnesses are artists or art supporters. @chronocrypto surprises with an amazing Dystopian story that you can either read or listen (I recommend listening) below via Soundcloud embed link. The story takes us to an age of a braking point of trans humanistic endeavors of the world population, and the schism between the people who are pro enhancements and ones who are not, a really excellent audio book, with a spot on ambient effects and an amazing soundtrack taking you right there in amidst of the story.

@mfestra
This is my first time gazing upon @mfestra's drawings and I have to say that in all simplicity this looks really amazing, sometimes simple is the best and by choosing to go with just two colors and a white color lining the results are excellent. I love the style, the apparent story and the cuteness of the robot, and of course the color choices. To add the night sky afterwards in Photoshop was an amazing touch as well, lovely job @mfestra :v:

@behemoth-realms
@behemoth-realms comes to us with a piece of his series of the ever so famous Major Arcana tarot deck, this drawing being a no.1 in the deck, named Drapes of Cynosure by Behemoth. What I love about his style is for one something I haven't seen yet and for the other the fluidity that the drawing has, the shading is also quite specific, and the arrangement of the symbolics are spot on as well, great job Behemoth :v:

@sanderjansenart
@sanderjansenart one more time come to us with something that is not apparent immediately upon a gaze of his picture, one more time there is someone in trouble and it is not obvious who on the first glance. But once you see it you know who has the main role in this story. The whole painting as well as the last one was, is filled with an inter tangled story line and it only depends on you to either figure out what is going on or make up as you go, great job @sanderjansenart
