I just read your post in the forum area and came to see some of your art---nice work! I do see a unique look to your work and some real professionalism, too. Remember, art doesn't sell itself--marketing does. A very important part of being financially successful in the 'art world'. Remember, even the singer Madonna isn't all that 'beautiful' or a great singer, she just markets herself exceptionally well. Good luck! :) -Kerra
You are an awesome artist.... but keep your job too.....(for some income!) Was just reading your question if you should quit your job and devote your time being an artist!! Much luck making a desission Martin!
