how much?

just kidding, but seriously, I'm no art critic but these are pretty good.

You do this for fun or are you trying to make a career out of it?  Its pretty hard to be an artist these days

^In Canada, visual arts is one of the fastest growing parts of the economy. Artists are needed in almost every industry....every time you see an ad, or see a piece of trash with a label on it, someone or several people trained in art designed that label or made that ad.
Those are very good drawings, I'm impressed. First one is Jim Morrison?

and it seems like in "Jimbo" you obviously paid a lot of attention to the subject, but the designs in the background aren't as highly finished, so it isn't a completely unified composition, looks kinda like 2 separate pieces jammed together. You might want to try and integrate the background with the subject more in that one.

i was kinda trying to incorporate the whole right brain, left brain theory...left brain thinking is more structured, rational, and objective while right brain thinking is more random and intuitive

mmhmm I like the concept, but what I meant was that those parts don't fit together very smoothly with the picture of the guy, which is what I meant by two separate pieces- the picture of the guy vs the "right and left brain" designs, which could be made better by the brain designs finished as highly as the person, or incorporated with that drawing more thoroughly, knowhatimean?

haha, I was just trying to explain my first post, I think the work is sick, just saying what I think would make it even better. And if he wants to sell those, he should ask for way over $30.
