    heh, but ‘the good guy’ also smokes. i don’t know why, is it because we have this legacy image about thinkers and artists, that they should smoke, while their mind is occupied with eliminating the problems of the humankind.

    i cannot help but perceive this image (not exactly your painting, but image of a thinker) as one that should be deprecated, since it romanticizes smoking.

      Nicotine is a stimulant, so it does help thinking. Should just drink some coffee instead though.

      You uncovered the hidden meaning behind the alleged good guy. Maybe Fossangel is not actually good :))
