AshesToAshes

I’ve been working simultaneously on the artworks and have finished Madison’s too. I’ve printed out Madison’s goodbye letter shown on either side of her cigarette. I wanted to create a feeling of a declaration being made where Madison renounces cigarettes for good. I feel there is a firmness and rigidity in the design that reflects how she feels about quitting and moving forward. Apologies for the shadows – one of the photo bulbs blew just as I was about to take it. I hope you like it Madison!

Madison's Last Cigarette & Goodbye Letter

Finally I created an artwork for Shirley. If you look back at the package that she sent to me some time back she sent me a lot of self motivational messages and I included one of those on the main focus of the artwork. You Can Because You Can Believe  You Can. What a powerful message. Shirley’s last cigarette is also included underneath the gauze as is her goodbye letter. I kept the artwork very simple so as not to detract from the great message.
