Awareness of Smoking Around Children

[tutsgold]

That was great. I hate people who smoke around little innocent kids. Especially in cars. LOSERS.

[LAArtGallery]

Fantastic! and Great message!

[uzutake]

Oh wow, I didn't get what you were trying to make until halfway through the video, then my eyes got all wide like "Oh...my...gosh...that is amazing."

[agbrown172]

Winner. Hands down. Enjoy spending the $500.00.

[ChucklesMginty]

That was absolutely amazing!

[etifaim]

This has a great message. Imagine if every parent saw their child's innocent face in their ashtray before they started to smoke, it would perhaps make them think twice before lighting their cigarette. Good job! I'm going to subscribe now :)

[LJacks37]

This is fantastic! Very cool!!! And the intention is beautiful =)

[4monkiman4]

AMAZING!!

[geezerart]

WOW! We are impressed! Very creative! Mr. & Mrs. GeezerArt

[Siru604]

Thanks for taking the time to spread the awareness! I'll tell my friends about this and hopefully it'll spread. Goodluck!

[primemusic]

I hate smokers !!!!!!!!

[MDAaron1971]

Smokers...like me...hate you.

[primemusic]

but I love'em when they are strong enough to quit :)

[bobthestick420]

you 2

[KatyMayBate]

Great art, great message. It is shocking, that there isn't a law, protecting children, from second hand smoke, that their parents subject them too. It causes asthma, so it is obviously physically abusive, to the innocent child. Parents can easily go outside, if they cant quit- this is what we do

[TwodArt]

I totally agree with you, this may go a small way to spreading awareness on the matter

[billybasstv]

this very true,thank you

[TwodArt]

[coffeemangr]

[LisaMarieWatson]

[cdrmb700]

thanks for sharing this.

[BRACK3N]

children shouldnt breath second hand smoke!. go outside if need be. (There our future!)

Im glad its been banned in public UK.

[TwoEs]

It's good that you are spreading a message in a way that many people can appreciate. I thank you for acting.

[trevorlucerostudio]

that ends up looking like a Julian Schnabel painting.

surprising, good work.

[ghettokid4real]

good advice

[TwodArt]

Thank you

[poopsicl3]

[filomeno10]

Wow. we need more people that look out like you. well done!

[Marsnet]

well done!

[TwodArt]

Thank you :)

[TwodArt]

It's interesting to see different view points on the matter .

[Dracujesus]

That's actually brilliant.

As a smoker, I don't even like the thought of my smoke going near ANY non-smoker so I really support this.

[TwodArt]

Thanks man, as i've said further down the comments page. this is not a preacher video, just thought it needed to be made. As the Smoking Ban in the Uk is tomorrow. Thanks for the support :)

[TwodArt]

[bnessel1973]

That was pretty amazing. Well done.

[TwodArt]

Thanks for taking the time to watch man

[TwodArt]

true

[Earthlinked]

We have dug ourselves into a terrible hole!! A pack of cigarettes cost about .32 to make and distribute - the rest of the sale price is taxes -- parts of which funds our healthcare system (local and regional). If everybody quit smoking today - our health care system would collapse! The more people that stop smoking -- the less money the healthcare system gets -- so cost as passed to the health care purchaser. If you have a solution, tell Washington DC - they only have excuses!

[OOlouiseyOO]

Omg lol! That was great! I love how your choices of materials reflect on the work symbolically (ie - the lego being symbolic of playing with children's lifes). I am apologising in advance if I have interpreted that wrongly but that's the great thing about art in how individuals perceive it differently.

So yeah, the symbolism aspect of it just adds so much depth and really enhances your point. A very clever and unique idea. Congrats (you've made me jealous) lol.

[TwodArt]

That's exactly what my thinking behind it was :)

[pimplywimp]

cool. good job :)

[TwodArt]

Thanks for coming back and checking out my video man, means a lot

[beacky1]

ralf harris eat ya hart out cool art and great tune any1 no who song is by

[TwodArt]

Thank you  :)

[TwodArt]

Thank you for your kind words

[saricool23]

holy moly thats koool!

[TwodArt]

Thanks man, yeah sometimes Art is very vivid to understand and sometimes what you create isn't always the best outcome. but it was an expression of self so therefore i guess i can't be self critical lol

[killerb144]

I really appreciate this piece. Thank you very much for this.

[TwodArt]

That was the ironic depiction

[joanswitches]

if i saw this art piece without your explanation, i would interpret it as a depiction of smoking as a colorful alluring toy for children.

[TwodArt]

one was a royalty free loop song. And the other was a sample on my package. so im quite safe lol

[ghostofmccleve]

I smoke, and while I feel it should be a persons right to choose whether or not they want to smoke, I absolutely believe children should not be subjected to it. That's why I smoke outside of the house and never around any of my nieces or nephews.

[TwodArt]

Yeah man, this was never going to be a judgemental approach. just the belief that everyone should have a choice in the matter. children should not be inflicted with passive smoke in my opinion

[theSTUDIOCURIO]

nice, i like the lego - painting combo. this one is about the art, not smoking.

[TwodArt]

It's interesting to see different points of view

[reventropy2003]

Cool twist. I like the art but I fail to see what it has to do with second hand smoking around children except for the ash trays being used for something other than smoking. Take an average room. Divide its volume by that of the volume of human lungs (~.2m). Second hand smoke is so diffuse that it probably does nothing at all. Stats can be doctored in tricky ways. I suppose it sets a bad example though. So I wouldn't smoke around my kids.

[joanswitches]

smoke stinks and it gets into clothes and hair. smoking around anyone is rude. what if you had to stand next to someone who was farting consecutively for 8 minutes, and left you smelling like that. stink is stink, what's the difference. just go outside man.

[killerb144]

I don't think the art itself was supposed to bring the awareness of the dangers. I think it has to do with the reason the art was created. The materials that went into it allude to it somewhat, but it's the spirit in which it's made. Sometimes in my own art it's hard to tell what message I was trying at without the backstory, which is unfortunate. I can totally understand what you are saying.

[SweekCure]

I thought the message was just perfect. im subscribing

[tyronix]

why not cars,emissions,perfumes all the things that ruin there life from the start with skin allergies and asma should make people guilty for the pollution we have caused and letting it continue instead of making a individual feel guilty for there pleasures any sensible smoker already knows and are considerate to others anyway ,so i take it your aiming this at idiots and as if they would understand it anyway, is nice work though

[TwodArt]

i loved that show

[leon540]

that was pretty cool i didn get why u used lego but then i read what you said to that other guy and it made sense.

p.s this was kinda like the giant art pieces from art attack :)

[TwodArt]

the lego symbolises the child, with the attempt to inflict guilt upon the parent.sorry if i didnt make it clear

[bennettswan]

I don't get why you used lego?  Seems weird.

[aliceisonfire182]

Cool approach

[TwodArt]

Thanks for the positive responses

[janwilliams47]

Nicely put.

[Sazypooz]

This is a meaningful video, it realy makes you think. I am well impressed. I hope that it will effect people and the lives of children.

[brendafohio]

Making art is good therapy for the artist....this one is good therapy for the world. I wonder if people who smoke in the house with their kids know that when the children go to school they have nicotine withdrawl. The same goes for kids who drink caffeine before and after school. It just adds more things to get in the way of learning. Good on ya mate!

[TwodArt]

couldn't have put it better myself

[TwodArt]

Thanks man

[Veey]

Where did you get the music from by the way?

If it is copyrighted then you could get it to trouble man.

Just giving a heads up.

Luke.

[Veey]

Wow. This is your best video yet. A class above the rest. I think you should keep to this type of video. Showing how you made a conceptual piece.

I also like the music used, retro electro. Sounds like very 90s.

[TwodArt]

yeah im not against smoking, its optional recreation. but i see a lot of people in my area, openly smoking infront of their kids... i think you get my drift lol

[oldirtygecko]

wow. i thought this was a very powerful message delivered in the most eloquent way. i like that it's not preachy like other anti-smoking ads. it says, if you're going to smoke, just don't do it around the kids.

[TwodArt]

Thanks man

[MstrKurt180]

thats real good man, impressive

[TwodArt]

Yeah my recent artwork is a lot to do with why i use the objects and the meaning behind them.

[TwodArt]

Thanks for your comments

[CatatonicStupor]

that's a really good piece. i'd seen the ashtrays and lego on your freewebs site, but didn't really understand what it was for. Now, it all comes together, and it all makes sense.

I'm impressed not only on an 'art' level, but with the fact that you're using your art to convey messages; not just painting for a quick buck, or sticking to the conventional.

Very nice, man =)

[Hoovesjoe]

ASHTRAYS! that is awesome

[MamaCoffeeCake]

Thats pretty cool

[BrttMa]

interesting topic.

[beek2915]
