People would appreciate anything that looks neat and pleasing but when we talk about art, it is viewed differently because it isn’t how neat, usual or acceptable it appears but it is how the art is done. The more unique it is, the more it will be appreciated. That is why, many artist struggles to do something distinct for their artworks. Today, we will feature you some awesome works that bears a bunch of meticulous details and are totally artsy as they sit on the artist’s sketchbook.

The illustrations of Pez Artworks are far from usual and ordinary because instead of lovely details, he added some decaying details with a mix of graffiti to his subjects.
