KEEPERS OF SMOKE, KEEPERS OF TIME - THE SMOKERS COMPILATION
Hi guys,
Today I’ll be sharing with you a new artwork i created recently using ballpoint pen and charcoal on paper.
————————- DESCRIPTION ———————-
Pipes between their lips,
they do not smoke only tobacco —
they smoke memory,
they smoke patience,
they smoke the laughter and scars
of a world that made them unbreakable.
Their eyes are half-shut,
not from weariness,
but from seeing too much
and still choosing to stand.
The smoke curls upward,
like silent prayers,
like forgotten songs
that linger in the air.
These are the guardians —
of hearth, of silence, of strength.
Every wrinkle,
every mark,
is a scripture of survival.
And as the smoke drifts,
their spirit remains —
rooted, unshaken,
eternal.
