The 65-year-old artist says he started smoking as a young boy, but decided to quit about 25 years ago, so he searched for alternatives to keep him busy and away from cigarettes. At one point he discovered nicotine gum, but had no idea it will eventually become the main medium of his unique art.
據說這位65歲老藝術家的靈感,來自他使用口香糖戒煙的事情。由于有多年的煙齡 David 某一天(據說是25年前)決定戒煙,但煙放下了,嘴卻一直閑不住,于是他千辛萬苦尋找到了一種含有尼古丁味道的口香糖,幫助他擺脫煙癮的困擾。
