Self-Portrait After Quitting all Nicotine Products

Digital painting, 2021

I quit smoking in 2017 with vaping. And I vaped for a long while, but shortly after moving to New York I decided it was gross and sucked, so I decided to quit all nicotine products.
And I did it! I live a totally nic-free life with no intention to going back! But those first two weeks, I wavered between feeling cranky and sort of muddled. This is what this painting is about.
