Cigarette Ash City

If you saw this image of a cigarette from far away, you'd probably think there was nothing special about it. Look a little bit closer, however, and you'll be blown away by the amount of detail that went into creating Cigarette Ash City.

Yang Yongliang is a young artist from Shanghai who studied traditional Chinese art at an early age. He combines traditional Chinese paintings with modern Shanghai city life, to reveal the country's current urban culture.
