Campbell told Mashable that he "honestly didn’t expect it to be shared as much as it has."
"It's a bitter-sweet thing for me," he said. "I’m happy to step back from the image and let it have a life of its own. Different people draw different meaning from the image and I’m happy to hear what they derive from it.
"I’ve had many positive messages and I’m touched that people are getting solace and a sense of solidarity from it. I hope that carries on to those in Christchurch who need it."
Campbell's illustration is one of a number of art tributes which have been shared widely since the Christchurch attack.
