This one takes me straight back to the 80s, when smoking was simply part of the furniture. You'd hear Elvis Costello's "Good Year for the Roses" on college radio — a song about a lover's cigarettes left cold in an ashtray. He didn't write it, but dang, he sure gave it life and emotion — and nobody thought twice about the subject. Even the good girls smoked. Restaurants had smoking sections, ashtrays sat on tables like salt and pepper, and a pack in a purse said nothing about you except what decade it was. It was an era.
Each one is painted individually and none of them match. Some are burned to the filter, some barely touched. The reds run from scarlet to a deep rust; the whites go grey-blue where the ash starts. The rows are almost tidy and not quite — one leans, one sits shorter than the rest — and that small failure of order is what makes it a painting rather than a diagram.
It is a still life about aftermath. Somebody sat there a long time. The pink underneath is soft and slightly chalky and does the opposite of what the subject is doing, which is the tension the whole piece runs on — pretty ground, hard habit. Caya does this repeatedly and this is the most stripped-back version of it.
As pink wall art it is unusually unsentimental, which is why it works in rooms that pink usually cannot get into: a studio, a bar corner, a dorm, an office with a sense of humour. It hangs naturally beside Cigarettes & Coffee and the rest of the weirdcore work.

Product FAQ
What does the painting show?
Thirteen cigarettes smoked to different lengths, laid out in two almost-tidy rows on a soft pink field — a still life about aftermath. Somebody sat there a long time.
Why thirteen?
Lucky 13. Each one is painted individually and none of them match — one leans, one runs short — and that small failure of order is what makes it a painting rather than a diagram.
Is it too much for a shared space?
It is more graphic than provocative — most people read it as a colour study before they read it as cigarettes. If in doubt, it is a better fit for a personal room than a family one.
Where does pink wall art like this hang?
Rooms pink usually cannot get into — a studio, a bar corner, a dorm, an office with a sense of humour. The pretty ground against the hard habit is the tension the whole piece runs on.
Will this look like an original painting or a print?
Crum Art takes the scanning and photographing of original paintings seriously — we work to capture the texture of the canvas or paper the original was created on, so that texture shows through in the print. Combined with the cotton rag paper’s own subtle surface and the hand-signing, many customers say they cannot tell if it’s an original or a print. That’s intentional. These are not flat digital reproductions — they are fine art prints that carry the soul of the original.
What sizes does this print come in?
Our fine art prints are available in standard rectangle and square sizes. Rectangles: 8x10 unframed matted to 11x14, 11x14 unframed, 16x20, 18x24, and 24x36. Squares: 8x8 unframed matted to 12x12, 12x12 unframed, 16x16, 20x20, and 24x24. Each size ships ready to frame, making it easy to find the right fit for your wall.
How do I make a gallery wall with art prints?
Start with an anchor piece and build outward — many Crum Art prints are part of series designed to group together as a statement gallery wall, or hang individually as standalone pieces. Since every image is sized to fit standard frames, mixing sizes is easy: lay the arrangement out on the floor first, keep about two to three inches between frames, and center the whole grouping at eye level.
