Anti smoking 2 by Tom Godfrey

Anti smoking 2 by

I have had two friends die from emphysema because of smoking, so maybe I can make a little difference for someone somewhere. It is worth the risk of annoying my friends who smoke. :)

No animals were harmed in the making of this image – I drew the cigarette.

I photographed this beautiful Ground Hornbill (BC Before Cigarette :) in Kruger National Park in South Africa- a must, if you ever visit.

About Tom Godfrey

My artwork ranges from the traditional, to the slightly offbeat.

With the wildlife and landscape, paintings, I like a more photo-realistic approach, with light, colour, emotion and a sense of space, being key components.

My cartoons are a little quirky, with themes and styles varying according to mood.

    Great message Tom. I am an ex slave of the dreaded weed and I consider it one of my better achievements.

    Good message Tom. My three brothers and father paid the same price at early ages. Beyond that, it makes you wonder how these birds ever fancy each other, smoking or not; he’s not exactly a pretty polly.

    Great message, great pic, nothing like a bit of humour to get a point across
    I gave up the weed after 20 years of smoking forty a day
