“hollywood’s happy hour”

by james | Nov 22, 2009 | aoj blog

one thing that I recently noticed  is the way in which we relax has really changed….  I can remember as a kid growing up my parents would come home and have a cocktail to relax…maybe two.. … how times have changed.  … with the recent deaths of some high profile hollywood stars,  its clear the happy hour has taken on a new meaning… no longer is a glass of wine sufficient… we are now having to reach for the oxycodone and the demerol… we have gone from trading a glass of wine to a syringe filled with morphine….. from a gin and tonic  to a couple of swigs of codine cough syrup.. loratabs  and percocets have found there way on our hors d oeuvres trays ….hollywood has definetly redefined happy hour….

here is my latest sculpture…. it is the second in the series of my social commentaries…. this one is called, “hollywoods happy hour” … it is a large marjarita glass filled with syringes,  IV tubing, vials of morphine, bottles of oxycodone, codine cough syrup, demerol, alka seltzer, various pill bottles…… hope you all enjoy.. I will have another one out shortly….

……………..peace
