“We all see drug addiction one time or another. Drug addiction fills our community with a bad light. I made “Friends to the End” to show how bleak drug addiction can go. I used colored pencils, and Watercolor paint. “Friends to the End” shows the view of someone looking out from their grave, it shows a tombstone and in front of the tomb are lots of smiling pill bottles, the sky is gray with lightning strikes, the walls of the coffin are dotted with staring eyes always watching within the wood grain. The sky is gray to show how dark and depressing the truth of Drug addiction is, the bottles smile to show the joy they can bring you but the truth of it being that’s all that is happy in the piece. Drug addiction can take the lives of those we love. We all see it but it can be a hush hush topic and most try to ignore it. But it’s today’s world and we must put an end to the heartache of Drug addiction.”
