BAD HABITS: American Maniac

Art piece of American Spirit cigarette packaging renamed as "American Maniac."

The hand-pulled screen print of the reimagined cigarette packaging with bold hues of yellow and purple evokes a sense of vibrancy and rebelliousness in “Bad Habits: American Maniac.” The familiar branding of the American Spirit cigarettes is cleverly manipulated, transforming it into a powerful statement of defiance and individuality. Simmons’ reinterpretation serves as a thought-provoking critique on the addictive nature of consumerism and the allure of rebellion within American society.
