My aspiration of knowledge development through sketching in community derived from the simplicity of sketching as an information transfer apparatus in any various knowledge field. Regardless of whatever content, a sketch is the most basic form of information that is robust and easy to be expressed, thus it’s the best way for an idea to be transcribed into papers. I believe, an idea will only be dreams unless its expressed into papers; words or pictures alike, then only it have the potential to become real.
However, I find that the blockchain, through steemit encourage people to start blogging and express themselves in so many ways. Through my personal experience, to be a consistent blog writer is very tiring and easily be demotivated. Theres always only just a handful of people who actually spend time to read what you read and responded to what you wrote. It is different having Steemit as the platform for this because the system itself designed for the users to verify and communicate with each other as well as offering incentive through awarding coins for hardwork and consistency.
Since I get to know more and more about blockchain, the clearer it gets to me of its’ potential contribution in the world of my research fields; architecture humanities that related with anthropology, psychology and linguistics of arts. Stories and experiences shared in this platform from a very wide range of context helps me to understand better how people thinks, how they experience a place or a space an ultimately relating these experiences into my research.
For example, isn't it better if a doctor sketch a diagram to a patient while describing the symptom/health problem and have the patient to keep the sketch for their reference? Or why TED Talks hire illustrators to illustrate the points addressed by their speakers? or why Leonardo da Vinci sketch before he actually paint the Monalisa?
You can read more on my plans for the movement from my previous post of why I wanted to become part of Sndbox here;
And this is why I love to spread the sketching vibes with others;

Being here opens up a very big opportunity to amplify the effort of my initiated movement with KLSketchnation as Sndbox connects me into a whole bigger network of amazing people, influential people on blockchain where I can actually make the initiative noticeable for the greater good.
I will also work towards connecting the existing worldwide Urban Sketching networks that comprises of artists, architects, researchers, NGOs as well as the other sketching enthusiast that I am connected to, and take them into the blockchain to nurture the growth of this community.
