The work of Studio After Cigs revolves around PowPow, a black cat holding a wine glass with an air of effortless cool. Beneath PowPow's iconic and wildly popular persona lies a philosophy for modern life—he's the perfect avatar for our collective state of mind, using a tipsy, laid-back vibe to catch the weight of life’s exhaustion and its inherent irony.

PowPow masterfully captures the urban dweller's weariness and self-deprecating humor, the inner beast that stirs during external storms, translating it into visuals that are minimalist, light, and witty. No matter the scene, beneath that perpetually "over-it" gaze lies a current of rebellious strength—a charming anti-hero holding his ground.
