Nice
I like it, love the madness reference btw. I like the message, its definitely not a "brick to the face" as others put it. i would argue the true "help" medical weed is giving people; but thats beside the point. Good work!
Reviews for "Propaganda V2"

Due thanks man hell yeah, Ha I love how you noticed the madness reference.
Don't do it this way.
I don't think many will enjoy artwork that so boldly and forcefully tries to get a message across. It just comes at the viewer like a brick to the face. IMO, it's hardly even artwork when it does that sort of thing, and more just becomes something else. The message should be somewhat hidden, so that if a person does come across it, it's from their own imagination and not forced.
Viewers should enjoy the art they see, and in order to ensure that, you shouldn't be forcing a message across. It's risky because not everyone will see things the way you do.
Also, what if the person doesn't smoke at all? Do they have to chose a side and start doing something they haven't done before? This is just a small example as to why this kind of art is a bad idea.

Ok I've just been experimenting with propaganda towards smoking medical marijuana, there is all kinds of commercials going against it and most of them make some pretty bold statements just like this one is.
Obviously you didn't get the point, which is that what's legal kills you, and what is illegal is being used for medical purposes, which is the exact opposite, I'm not trying to make anyone smoke, if I did it would be clear, it's just that people aren't doing enough about the situation.
Maybe instead of attacking this picture saying its a bad idea maybe you should have looked deeper like you said, cuz obviously you didn't no matter how much you think you did. Not trying to be a dick but you are way off.
!
The Influenza has nothing to do with smoking so i'm confused.
Are you saying people that smoke cigs will be hooked up to oxygen whereas people who choose to smoke different things won't?
Or are you simply saying these people on the left have less care in the world, but will still end up with the influenza anyways.
Whats that hatchet/axe thing for on the right?
The drawing itself isnt even that good, a grade up from bold stick drawings.
You're obviously trying to send a message, or get a point accross but I don't think its working.
I myself smoke both, what good artist hasnt done drugs or gone crazy lol; so am In no way biast, this just does'nt make sence.

OK so Death's scythe is a little small (that is what it lis by the way.
Notice that even the words on the TV are divided into 2, the flu is contagious and is almost impossible to make it go away without medicine, same as ciggs you need nicotine products a\but it will never go away.
See the whole thing with to oxygen tanks is that on tv they make all these commercials just attacking the stereotype pot smoker and saying that this is everyone who smokes pot, so I said everyone who smokes ciggs will end up with an oxygen tank, cuz in school when they scare you as a kid not to smoke they always show those kind of people.
You know what I gotta say to everyone that I am really sorry I thought that this would make sense but I defiantly didn't put in enough time and effort into this, I've just been stressed with college and what not so my mind isn't running very well.
One last thing I also smoke both but I really wish that I never started ciggs because I've tried everything to quit and I can't.
