"They don't kill you unless you light them, and I've never lit one. It's a metaphor, see: You put the killing thing right between your teeth but you don't give it the power to do its killing."
-Augustus Waters, The Fault In Our Stars (C) John Green

Hi I was wondering if I could use this for a book trailer I'm making. I would be sure to credit you and everything...


Thanks!

That's exactly how I pictured Gus all along! And that quote has got to be one of the best quotes of all time.

I have the hardest time picturing Gus, and when I saw this, I internally screamed, "That's it!"

Yeah, really. Altho' I have to mention- you put the brown end of a cigarette in you mouth, and it's much shorter than the white end.

hahahha XD Yeah! I'm aware I was going to fix that. I didn't even notice it til I uploaded it. I srsly couldn't remember what an actual cigarette looked like when I was drawing. T_T You're the only person to point that out btw.
now I'm off to correct that mistake...'scuse me.

This is a really cool sketch. It really reflects the moody sort of melancholic atmosphere that the sentence pulls, and i think the sketchyness on the rough paper is just right Keep it up <3
