I have to admit, I never really thinking about any possible connection between Heroin users and art. But that didn’t stop Liza Vadnai and the Stamp Collective from producing poster sized Heroin stamps as art in an effort to raise funds and awareness to help stem the ill effects of the dark drug trade.
The images of Heroin stamps bring to light a world where drug users are inundated with the marketing techniques of scum-bags whose aims are to keep them addicted at any cost.
