<center><h1>Mike Ehrmantraut from the TV series - Breaking Bad</h1><hr></center>

Like most people, i loved the TV show '<b>Breaking Bad</b>', such  brilliant writing and original storytelling. Each week we'd be thrown into this mad world of <i>Walter White</i>, <i>Jesse Pinkman</i> and supporting characters like <i>Mike Ehrmantraut</i>. 

Mike was exactly the guy he looks like - the guy that you don't f--k with. The guy who would make things happen, make things disappear, make people do what they were obligated to do.

The spin off show '<i>Better Call Saul</i>' is currently airing, it's a prequel to '<i>Breaking Bad</i>' where we learn the origins of Mike Ehrmantraut and how he got caught up in what becomes the '<i>Breaking Bad</i>' world. 

If you've never seen '<i>Breaking Bad</i>' it's worth checking out if you like dark comedy & drama. Watch the first episode and see if it grabs you - it only gets more intense!

<h2>The Drawing:</h2><br>I drew this a couple years ago and thought i'd post it today while i'm working on some new content for Steemit.<br>
It's drawn on my favourite paper - Strathmore 500 Charcoal series - which of course, you can't actually buy in Australia! For some reason the major paper importor doesn't import Strathmore so local art stores can't sell it. I have to order it from the USA and it costs a pretty penny - but it's worth it. 
<br><br>
I hope you dig it and let me know in the comments what you thought of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul!<br>
<b>Thanks for your support, votes, follows, re-steems - it keeps me motivated! (and the funds will help me buy more paper!)</b>
