Big Smoke is a bold, tongue-in-cheek portrait of burnout and bravado. A figure with exaggerated lips, sleepy eyes, and a lit cigar stares out from a chaotic cloud of color. With hints of graffiti lettering and a ghosted dollar sign floating in the backdrop, the piece plays with ideas of ego, exhaustion, and excess. The colors are loud, but the energy is low—a contradiction that makes Big Smoke feel both funny and eerily familiar.
Perfect for those who vibe with hustle culture but also know the weight that comes with it, this 30 x 40” canvas hits like a puff of reality in cartoon form.
