Artist's Comments

I had wanted to make a full, dimensional skeleton, but I ran out of time, glue and cigarettes. Yeah, I know, it's kinda heavy handed, but as long as I finished the assignment, lol. These are all found cigarettes of course, I don't smoke. Our assignment was to gather the "junk of the world" and find a way of displaying it to make art. I went into the streets of Chicago with a dust pan, a plastic bag and latex gloves (I wouldn't touch this thing; I don't know who smoked these!) and started collecting. I only picked up used cigarettes. Then I went up to the studio with my hundreds of cigarettes (no WAY I was stinking up the dorm room with that stuff, it smelled SOOO BAD) and started hot-gluing them to make this life-size skull. I don't have it anymore; after critique in class I left it outside to let the room clear out of the smell (I put it out where all the students go to smoke, just to see what'd happen. I was surprised, so one moved it or destroyed it or threw it out. Probably because they just didn't want to touch it) and after class was over I went and threw it out.There was no where I could keep it!

As a funny coincidence, at this same time I was working on this my lovely girlfriend ([link])
was working on this:

I think we share the same brain, although hers in infinitely cooler and more successful. Still, what are the odds?

Found Cigarettes and Hot Glue.

Art is long and Time is fleeting
And our hearts though stout and brave
Still, like muffled drums are beating
Funeral marches to the grave.

:iconsweetpixiesmile:
This was really cool, IMO.

And I know some people who'd probably smoke it. But then, they'd offer sex for cigs too.

>_>
<_<
:icondragonspark:
Correction, yours now has TWICE as many favourites as mine. And you've only had it up for not even a full day.
