Some screwy portraits

Thousands of Screws Make a 3D Portrait

Meet Andrew Myers, one of the most patient modern-day sculptors around. This Laguna Beach, California-based artist goes through a multi-step process to create incredible works of art you almost have to see (or touch) to believe. He starts with a base, plywood panel, and then places pages of a phone book on top. (Cool fact: He'll use pages from his subjects' local area.) He then draws out a face and pre-drills 8,000 to 10,000 holes, by hand. As he drills in the screws, Myers doesn't rely on any computer software to guide him, he figures it out as he goes along. "For me, I consider this a traditional sculpture and all my screws are at different depths," he says.

Wow, that's cool! 😱
How does one come up with such cool ideas?

You think we could make him "draw" SMG or Alyson Hannigan or someone else from the BtVS cast?🙂
That would be so cool!

Damn, I'd like to make such portraits myself, but I can see them now, looking like crap 😱
