This is my entry for the Pay It Forward Curation Contest - Week 80 hosted by @pifc. The contest is run by @thedarkhorse and judged by me, @tryskele, @lynncoyle1 & @viking-ventures.

---

The rules of this challenge are very simple: Feature 2 High Quality Original Content Blog Posts from Steemians with a reputation score of 65 or under. The submitted posts must have less than $2 earnings at the moment.)
For this week, we're also trying to discover artists using the #creativecoin tag.

---

I want to present you with a couple of talented artists with very different styles: @marieeedraws and @andreasalas.

Here's the preview of both featured posts:

#1 - @marieeedraws (58)

@marieeedraws joined the Steem Network earlier this year, on February 20, 2019 and she has been posting a new drawing nearly every day.

@marieeedraws is from the Philippines and her style is very "cartoonish". The drawings are usually sweet, creative and amusing. Today she brings us a commission drawing requested by one of her friends. 😄

The featured post I'd like to show you is:

• Commission no.2!

@marieeedraws has not been using the #creativecoin tag but she really should consider it. Most of the artists in Steem are already using it and recently they all saw their earnings increase due to the additional exposure of being present at the CreativeCoin site. 😉

#2 - @andreasalas (61)

Andrea Salas is an artist from Venezuela who has been with us for a bit longer, since May 27, 2018 and her drawings are quite charming and cool. She has been really consistent, posting almost every day.

@andreasalas varies a lot between Coloured and Black & White drawings, and she is already using the #creativecoin tag.

The post I've selected to feature was published today, just a few hours ago:

• Inktober 2019 - Day 13 - ASH

@andreasalas has been working hard for a long time and her posts are finally starting to get noticed. Nice to see her work is paying off.

# Final Thoughts

At the time I'm writing this post, both blogs have little rewards, with $0.54 and $1.71. Let's try and push them higher.

I believe @marieeedraws and @andreasalas are very talented artists, who have already proven themselves to be great additions to this network.

Please give them some love and support. Any help is appreciated.
