Pastel on Paper, about 5 feet in height

This is the first thing I created that I thought was good. Well, not good, but that I was proud of. And I still am. I did it my senior year of college, so 2006 I think. A teacher of mine told me that it might become a monkey on my back, that I might try to "live up" to this thing in the stuff that I create after it. Looking back, I very much did.
