wow this is brilliant work Martin! love the action and energy, strong expressive shapes and forms, punchy effect of negative space. It just looks way too cool to be an anti-smoking statement. It's magical, creative, transcendent ;) fave/like

Martin, you should add more tags to this photo so more people can find it, things like science, chemistry, smoke, scientist, experiments, gloves, gas mask... It is a great photo and should be seen!
Martin Konopacki replied:
Michele, Thank you for the great advise and kind remarks. This is one of my early efforts from 1974.
