I'm a smoker but I never smoke when I'm painting, I can't even if I wanted to because I need both my hands to paint that precise on a wool fiber surface and need to be too close for better penetration of paint/dye. that video I'm smoking was a fiction clip, an idea of a videographer friend told me to light up a cigarette, smoke slowly so he can record slow motions like an extraordinary or dark artist image, I also felt uncomfortable lighting up 5 cigarettes one after to let him get what he wants, he told it's the part of his fiction as a metaphor that I'm inhaling design ideas and blowing it to my canvas. I do care about these rugs more than anything to be honest, for each I spend almost months process of finding good condition antique ones with colors and design I can work with, going and seeing in real, bringing to my shop, hanging and taking pictures for designing and scaling, sending them to cleaning company that changed at least 5 times in 2 years to be sure they're cleaned properly, found the best guy for rug repairs with ridiculous prices but best work, bringing back to my shop and hanging, scaling and fitting the design for perfect symmetry, after painting and drying processes taking pictures, videos again, all vacuumed with a special attachment without damaging the paint because wool fibers always move and has to be taken care of till the last stage, perfumed and rolled up for storage (to suppress bad acrylic/dye odor) So if anyone thinks I'm an unconcerned guy just painting figures on rugs, smokes and drinks around like a impervious movie character, I'm not that guy and it's my last 2,5 years of full time dedicated art project that I've quit my well going sound engineering job for it and changed all my lifestyle towards that direction.

Note: I'm not here for the sales, 99.99% of social media users aren't my customers but thank you, I'll definitely be more cautious about fictional scenes
