I love finding new under-valued Steemians and this contest is a great excuse to find fabulous bloggers whose post aren't getting the attention they deserve. In case you aren't aware, the Pay It Forward Curation Contest is a weekly challenge from @pifc to find bloggers to promote.
If you want to know some of the things I look for when curating for Pay-it-Forward, please check out this article on How to Get Curated.
Here are this week's selections - reputation 55 or under.
Selection #1 - @anyaehrim (rep 52)
Marieana: Proposal At Sunset
This lovely person found me on Whaleshares last night and I knew instantly that I had to feature this person for this week's contest.
I love watching the progress of this picture, especially knowing it's just crayon at this point (actually one of the favorite mediums of my very artistic uncle) - and am drawn in by the fact this is also a character.
Right now, as I write the post, the payout stands at 2.73 SBD, but don't you agree that this piece is worth more than that?
Selection #2 - @nowargraffitis (rep 53)

ARTWORKS - NOWARGraffitis
Psychedelic, dude!
I love mushrooms, I love lots of colors... so when you combine the two with some fantastic artwork, it just works for me! I probably wouldn't come up with these strange combinations of textures and patterns, but that's why we have artists like this guy!
It sounds like this guy manages to sell some of these images, which is just awesome! But this post currently stands at just 0.39 SBD, it really deserves so much more!
These are my selections for this week. Please visit them and give them some love - even if you don't have voting power to spare, a kind word can make all the difference!
Note: All images remain property of the original poster. I've only used their locations.
