Vinyl Wall Quotes

I have been applying for Graphic Design jobs here in Salt Lake and one was a wall vinyl company that did quotes for home and office. Unfortunately, I did not get this job, because I have not had enough experience with typography. Honestly, this annoyed me because I have had quite a bit of experience in design. In my opinion wall vinyl quotes are not that difficult to make. Therefore, I created 2 samples to display. I would like to know your opinion on the typeface choice and if you'd buy one of theses. I am going to print these out on vinyl and hopefully someone will have an empty wall to display it. (Let me know if you would want to sample this or a custom quote).

Ghost Opera

Here is another Kamelot concert inspired illustration. There was another female vocalist that sang the opera vocals in the song called the Ghost Opera. So the song is based on a dark theme and if you watch the official video you can see. So I want to get across the solemnity and the sadness of the song. My illustration is in its last stage of corrections, so any advice or comments would be wonderful!
