Rich Vigil is an artist in the St. Louis area - we worked together when I lived there long ago. These are drawings from his sketchbook...
What's great and inspiring to me is that someone who is super-busy with family and work (when I knew him he had 2 jobs plus freelance work) still keeps drawing in his life. He's not going for gallery shows, he's not trying to make is big in the art world, he's just making great little drawings.
I think it's important to look at artists who are trying to participate in a wider art world, but it's just as important to recognize the people, some quite good, who make work just to make it.
