My entry to the "Pay It Forward Curation Contest - Week 29"
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.

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. ๐Ÿ˜‰

# #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.

![atelier1.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSF5vBZwctXQmJpHPx5EQUmWVeW8GBh9zMQNu8tEpmK4N/atelier1.jpg)

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)**.

[![walking tram by hauke.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmaJh9fiSkUjXAmFw6MWDb33GRedNt3c4CeQWpjd3p9KDE/walking%20tram%20by%20hauke.jpg)](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:

<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. ๐Ÿ˜ณ

# # 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._

**[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... ๐Ÿ˜‰

**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.**
