The animation were created by R.J. Barcklow. The short, three-act animated film presents two artists and examines how the world around them influences their artwork. Both of the artists are influenced by drugs, drug use and the anti-drug campaign. The first act (:56) shows the artwork of a young girl who creates based upon the world around her. Although she does not personally have an issue with drug use, she sees drugs everywhere (1:38) therefore she paints the various types on drugs in stack formation. Next to the stack of illicit drugs, she paints the side effects of using such drugs including abscess and brain damage (1:58). T
