London-based artist Mark Powell draws incredible portraits on the backs of envelopes using only a ballpoint pen (referred to ‘biro pens’ in England). You can find many more examples of Mark’s original work on Flickr page.
Thanks to Twisted Sifter for the great find.

Conceived of and produced by the team who bring you the prestigious International Songwriting Competition (ISC), Unsigned Only is a fresh and novel approach to other music competitions. Unsigned Only is a unique music competition designed for solo artists, bands, and singers all over the world who are not signed to a major label record company or any of its affiliates, subsidiaries, or imprints. The goal of Unsigned Only is to find an outstanding, talented performer: a band, singer, or solo artist; a newcomer or veteran; raw or polished -- the “gem” that needs to be discovered. Unsigned Only is looking for the total package.
These are stunning. Just ever so subtly exaggerated. Feels like you are seeing more than you should be allowed.
