Here's my entry for the **[Pay It Forward Curation Contest - Week 29](https://steemit.com/payitforward/@pifc/week-29-pay-it-forward-curation-contest-1a7250a1a8497est)**, hosted by **@pifc**. --- The rules of this challenge are very simple: **Feature 2 High Quality Original Content Blog Posts from Steemians with a reputation score of 55 or under.** --- For the first time, I bring you an artist I've featured before, **@papersmell**, besides a new artist who **joined SteemIt just 8 days ago**, **@marcocosta**. **Here's the preview of their latest artworks:**  --- # #1 - @marcocosta (42) **Marco Costa** is a visual artist, born in **Lima, Peru**. He studied in the **National School of Fine Arts**... and from the looks of it, he studied and worked very well.  I've been following **@marcocosta** since he **joined SteemIt last week** and he's been posting a piece a day... all of which are very, very good. The post I'm featuring is called **[Dibujando a Johnny Depp](https://steemit.com/elegance/@marcocosta/dibujando-a-johnny-depp)** and it's a ultra-realistic portrait work of one of my favourite artists. [](https://steemit.com/elegance/@marcocosta/dibujando-a-johnny-depp) Amazing, isn't it...? --- Keep up with the good work, **@marcocosta**! You are off to a very good start in SteemIt! If you keep publishing such fantastic pieces once a day, you'll reach a wider audience soon enough. 😉 --- # #2 - @papersmell (51) **Hauke** is not Portuguese, but currently he's living in my own country, **Portugal.** I've featured him as as bonus entry for the **[Week 21 of this Contest](https://steemit.com/pifc/@trincowski/my-entry-to-the-pay-it-forward-curation-contest-week-21)**, 2 months ago.  I've decided to choose **@papersmell** again because, on that week, I have featured **his introduction post**, not his art. Thus, I'm taking the chance to showcase his work, now. The post I'm featuring was written earlier today and it's called **[crazy lisbon trams](https://steemit.com/art/@papersmell/crazy-lisbon-trams)**. [](https://steemit.com/art/@papersmell/crazy-lisbon-trams) Besides the above drawing, **@papersmell**'s post includes a second similar drawing... and a truly spectacular "cartoony" scene representing **Lisbon**. I opted not to include that full drawing here, as the goal of this contest is to make you wanna visit his entry. But I'll leave you with a tiny extract from that piece, just to tease you some more: [](https://steemit.com/art/@papersmell/crazy-lisbon-trams) <sup>**This is just 1/15 of the whole image...**</sup> This drawing is absolutely phenomenal, **@papersmell**. I hope you find time to visit **Porto** and **Vila do Conde**, too. I'd love to see you paint a few scenes of these cities. 😳 --- # # Final Thoughts At the time I'm writing this, both posts are **highly undervalued**, with **$0.41 and $.043 in rewards**. Let's push this up, everyone! **@marcocosta** reached a reputation of 41 in a single week. His posts are very well done, always showing the steps of his works along with a nice accompanying text. Over these last 2 months, **@papersmell** has raised his reputation from 33 to 51 and has published a few gorgeous paintings. He was picked up by **@curie** more than once! Very cool. There's nothing I can suggest to **Marco** and **Hauke**, other than "**Keep on Rocking!**" Please support both **@marcocosta** and **@papersmell** and let 'em know their work is highly appreciated! _Since I keep featuring new artists... I am starting to think about a way to incentive the artists I've featured so far to carry on. This is an **Idea in Development**, so keep an eye on my blog._ --- **If you want to join the contest, [here's more info about the "Pay It Forward" contest.](https://steemit.com/payitforward/@pifc/week-28-pay-it-forward-curation-contest-078b81c690f5cest)** --- My previous participations are here: - [Week 3](https://steemit.com/steemit/@trincowski/my-entry-to-the-pay-it-forward-curation-contest-week-3), featuring @lesploratore, @natashamoscow & @cebuvibes - [Week 5](https://steemit.com/steemit/@trincowski/my-entry-to-the-pay-it-forward-curation-contest-week-5), featuring @sscrow, @nikonat & @alcidsmujica - [Week 6](https://steemit.com/steemit/@trincowski/my-entry-to-the-pay-it-forward-curation-contest-week-6), featuring @neliacordeiro, @anomt & @gonzeto - [Week 7](https://steemit.com/steemit/@trincowski/my-entry-to-the-pay-it-forward-curation-contest-week-7), featuring @aleisandel, @sentanu74 & @kothy - [Week 8](https://steemit.com/steemit/@trincowski/my-entry-to-the-pay-it-forward-curation-contest-week-8), featuring @maryspace, @timmolloy & @viking-ventures - [Week 9](https://steemit.com/steemit/@trincowski/my-entry-to-the-pay-it-forward-curation-contest-week-9), featuring @permanayogi, @teafp & @dustsweeper - [Week 10](https://steemit.com/steemit/@trincowski/my-entry-to-the-pay-it-forward-curation-contest-week-10), featuring @abrahmatan & @itsdatneighbour - [Week 11](https://steemit.com/steemit/@trincowski/my-entry-to-the-pay-it-forward-curation-contest-week-11), featuring @wgustaman & @blue-dragon - [Week 12](https://steemit.com/steemit/@trincowski/my-entry-to-the-pay-it-forward-curation-contest-week-12), featuring @skinlovekin04 & @chriscomics - [Week 14](https://steemit.com/steemit/@trincowski/my-entry-to-the-pay-it-forward-curation-contest-week-14), featuring @stahlberg & @daio - [Week 15](https://steemit.com/steemit/@trincowski/my-entry-to-the-pay-it-forward-curation-contest-week-15), featuring @drowkeudrow & @christianyocte - [Week 16](https://steemit.com/steemit/@trincowski/my-entry-to-the-pay-it-forward-curation-contest-week-16), featuring @escfrancis & @marzukie - [Week 17](https://steemit.com/steemit/@trincowski/my-entry-to-the-pay-it-forward-curation-contest-week-17), featuring @artbynadine & @unyimeetuk - [Week 18](https://steemit.com/steemit/@trincowski/my-entry-to-the-pay-it-forward-curation-contest-week-18), featuring @marya77 & @lady-idra - [Week 19](https://steemit.com/pifc/@trincowski/my-entry-to-the-pay-it-forward-curation-contest-week-19), featuring @michellebonaroti and @connor-russo - [Week 20](https://steemit.com/pifc/@trincowski/my-entry-to-the-pay-it-forward-curation-contest-week-20), featuring @maya525 and @stuffing - [Week 21](https://steemit.com/pifc/@trincowski/my-entry-to-the-pay-it-forward-curation-contest-week-21), featuring @kryptik.tigrrr3d, @rebeca.just20 and @papersmell - [Week 22](https://steemit.com/pifc/@trincowski/my-entry-to-the-pay-it-forward-curation-contest-week-22), featuring @vesteban and @haiyentree - [Week 23](https://steemit.com/pifc/@trincowski/my-entry-to-the-pay-it-forward-curation-contest-week-23), featuring @adelair and @edanya - [Week 24](https://steemit.com/pifc/@trincowski/my-entry-to-the-pay-it-forward-curation-contest-week-24), featuring @mushroomdreams and @sweettais - [Week 25](https://steemit.com/pifc/@trincowski/my-entry-to-the-pay-it-forward-curation-contest-week-25), featuring @jeremyrfk and @armandosodano - [Week 27](https://steemit.com/pifc/@trincowski/my-entry-to-the-pay-it-forward-curation-contest-week-27), featuring @spi.der and @maysi-art - [Week 28](https://steemit.com/pifc/@trincowski/my-entry-to-the-pay-it-forward-curation-contest-week-28-4492621437d9eest), featuring @hedenus and @helenelenoble --- **[Pay It Forward Curation Contest - Week 29](https://steemit.com/payitforward/@pifc/week-29-pay-it-forward-curation-contest-1a7250a1a8497est)** **Please support @marcocosta and @papersmell with a few upvotes, follows, resteems, comments.** You know the drill... 😉 **Edit:** It doesn't feel right to me that my post is earning more than the posts of my featured bloggers combined. After all, these are their artworks, not mine. As such, **as soon as this post pays out, I'll buy 2 SBI shares, one for each artist.** --- @trincowski signing out.
