ONE MORE WON’T KILL YOU
Then again, maybe you can’t help it. Maybe
you read everything. Ingredients. Washing
instructions. Parking tickets.
Plastic surgery, tanning and teeth-whitening:
all of these can become addictive. Did you see
that guy on the bus with too many tattoos?
Sometimes you want to stop. But it feels so
good. Just one more word. Another line can’t
hurt. Go ahead, punctuate my day.
Maybe we should start addictionary.
Addictions come in many forms. Some harmful,
some not so much. Coffee or cocaine, sugar
or spice, sex or success, alcohol or Nembutal,
internet or fishnets, cigars or cars… most of
us are addicted to something. Too much is
never enough.
Is that such a bad thing? Addiction is passion,
after all. Everyone likes a bit of passion.
We know you do. It’s written all over your face.
Addictions get a bad press – but they are
beautiful, in their own way. Like fish in the
sea, they come in all varieties. We’ve heard
of people who are addicted to ice. Or soap
powder. Or hair drying. Or puppets. Or fish,
for that matter.
Shopping is definitely habit forming. So is
exercise (maybe not as much as we’d like).
It takes willpower to beat an addiction.
That’s beautiful too: finding the strength to
deny yourself.
But when you’re hooked, you’re hooked.
Once an addict, always an addict, that’s what
they say – even if you’re dealing with it one
step at a time.
Our name is Vasava, and we are addicts.
Graphics are our thing, in every shape or
form, static or animated, flat or 3D.
Why not take time out to come and visit us?
We’ll see you there. A few times. Because
let’s face it, when you’ve taken your first
bite, you’ll be back.
Again and again.
