A portrait of Amy Winehouse made of pills. Using 5,000 multicoloured tablets, artist Jason Mecier created the 17 x 21 inch picture to honour the singer's short life. He creates his portraits of celebrities using junk, pills and sweets. Jason sometimes uses items donated by the stars themselves to complete his pieces. Jason explains: "Celebrities really do send me items. Most people send me anywhere from a shoebox to a trash bag full of things to incorporate into their portraits. I have a bag of Pam Anderson's laundry, and a letter Paris Hilton wrote me from prison."

Jason says his Lady Gaga portrait "has some Hello Kitty merchandise that was used in her famous photo shoot." He says his portraits take at least 50 hours, but many take much, much longer - Lady Gaga took him almost two months and hundreds of hours.
