L.A. based artist Jason Mecier has captured Amy Winehouse in this incredible portrait made out of 5,000 multi-colored painkillers.

From Daily Mail:

A U.S.-based artist has courted controversy by creating a portrait of the late soul singer Amy Winehouse using painkiller pills.

Jason Mecier has captured the tragic star in a poignant pose depicted by colourful medications, as part of a series of mosaics inspired by celebrities who battled drug abuse.

Rehab-star Winehouse died at the end of last month, bringing to an end her well publicised battle with crack cocaine, heroin and alcohol.

Now this is an idea. Making portraits of musicians and actors who have overdosed, or died tragically, really, out of pills. Well-played, sir. First up is Amy Winehouse. There’s also Michael Jackson and Heath Ledger art, made of pills.
