Do you have this much patience?

Well do ya? Go check out these pencil carvings done by Dalton Ghetti at Wonder How To. Apparently these beautiful miniature art sculptures take years to finish. The patience and attention to detail is just stunning. Definitely shouldn't load up on coffee before trying something like this!

Photography? Look again!

Everyone needs to check out these stunning pieces of art work over at WebUrbanist. They'll have you doing a double take because these aren't photographs. These artists really have a knack for creating realistic scenes and facial expressions. Its mind blowing! Some of them I'm still not sure about, but I'll take their word for it!

First Post! Watercolor paintings!

You've got to check out these watercolor paintings over at Smashingmagazine.com. I haven't done too much work with watercolors but I'm always amazed at the bright, vibrant colors! It's cool how the simplest brush strokes can bring a painting to life. Some really great art work there. Go now and tell me what you think!

Welcome to (No Contest Designs)!

Welcome to (No Contest Designs)! This blog will be dedicated to art and creativity. I seem to stumble upon a lot of different and amazing pieces of art from various types of media and want to share it with everyone. I plan on posting instructional and entertaining tutorials I find. At some point I will even showcase some of my own work. Come back soon!
