If you're talking about marijuana specifically, then I can't say I care for the concept, but the execution is brilliant. A fine piece indeed.

Ah, the ultimate PSA provided by our favorite artist, Mr. Luke Chueh. Remember kids, drugs are bad.
Seriously, this is an excellent piece. I especially like the eyes and the balloon design of the head floating away.

It's a really good concept! I like the way you think.
Good moral, and great impressionism. The scenario is...perfect!

Hey Luke, I'm gonna start working on an acrylic piece, but I've got one question about it. When you do your backgrounds, do you work around the foreground subjects or does acrylic work good in layers? You know, like you can paint over your background.

Wow....... this is amazing. What a brilliant way to show the effects of drugs and the sinking helplessness they can create (at least I think thats what you were going for). I could see this as an anti-drug ad/billboard/commercial or something. So very powerful its hard to even put it into words. One of your best IMO.
