Two portfolio pieces....seriously:)

I truly want to be taken seriously as an artist, but I can not expect others to take me seriously if I'm not taking it serious myself. It is very difficult to make art important in your life when you are trying to go back to school, raise two kids, job hunt, and basically save what little bit of sanity you still have. My biggest hope is that I take this blog seriously as a real outlet for the artist trying to get out. Who knows maybe it will go somewhere wonderful.
 The top is titled, "The Death of Snow White." done in pencil and sharpie marker.
  The middle is a sketch for the bottom work tittled, "Urban Wizard." done in pencil, gouache, and sharpie marker.
