Description
"I will lift mine eyes unto the pills. Almost everyone takes them, from the humble aspirin to the multi-coloured, king-sized three deckers, which put you to sleep, wake you up, stimulate and soothe you all in one. It is an age of pills."
- Malcolm Muggeridge
"The basic thing nobody asks is why do people take drugs of any sort? Why do we have these accessories to normal living to live? I mean, is there something wrong with society that's making us so pressurized that we cannot live without guarding ourselves against it?"
- John Lennon
When I was a teenager (way back in the 1960's), I used to read dystopian scifi novels in which drugs have been developed that keep everyone happy & enslaved & that are marketed like candy. Currently, my father, who is 85 years old, takes a dozen different pills every day to keep him alive, though the quality of his life has diminished to the point where it seems like a pointless exercise. TV, newspapers, magazines & email spam constantly bombard us with pills that will cure our depressions, soothe our pain, help us sleep, prolong our erections, & keep our legs from swinging wildly. The future is now...

My friend Alice who's 10 feet tall asks the same thing??? ;-) Hopefully at some point we'll see what we've created? but until then...the monster eludes us... excellent image and thought provoking as usual!!!!!
Original use of bryce with as always eyecatching colors, great art...
ahhh the latitude of the platitude, 'the future is always'..... drugs, herbs etc. have been around for many a century, perhaps not in pill form, but around non the less. nice work in Bryce!
i love how you use so many colors in your art and whenever i feel the need for colors i alway check out your gallery for inspiration! this is a real beauty!! now where is my bong?? ;oD
Ever notice how the drug companies are not interested in curing our ailments, but in treating them? They want us to take their products for the rest of our lives.
I'm with buzz69! ...someone once wrote something like.." the most pleasant things in the world are pleasant thoughts and the object of life is to have as many as possible.." Your pieces are very trippy, I long for the '60's...
wow cool as ever!!!!

Mesmerizing,...multidimensional,..brilliant colors... another unique Eyeland in my mind

I don’t know why, but the picture here didn’t make any sense to me. It was supposed to tell about Best CRO in India, but I have no idea what to expect out of it. Or I wonder if I came to the wrong post to know about it.
