London-based photographer and printmaker Johnny Christmas made this map of the world using just pills. It's cleverly called Global Pharmacy.

"Global Pharmacy shows, on average, the amount of pills consumed a year for a male living in the UK," Christmas told us. "His life expectancy is 77 and he will take as many pills in the last ten years of his life, as he does in the first sixty-six."
