ARTIST: Andrew Myers

This artist uses 1000s of screws to create 3D portraits of his subjects. Not only does he screw in each piece individually, he then paints them one by one almost like a "pixel" effect. He doesn't use any computers to work out the colours/depths of the screws and does it all from photographs.
The backgrounds of the sculptures are made up of pages from a phonebook from the subject's home town. I think that's a nice little addition to make the portrait even more personal. Check out some more examples of his pieces here: http://www.andrewmyersart.com/#/screw_art/
