Screw you!

If someone propositioned you with this I can think of an array of answers and potentially physical abuse the recipient could receive. But this is one of the latest art forms someone has used for portraits, think it beats toast...


When I first saw this I thought someone had been sewing lots of different coloured buttons on to a wall murial or something, but screws is way more interesting. Andrew Myers from the one and only OC, California, drills screws into the wood and individually hand paints each screw to make the overall portrait picture. This is mainly done from the use of a photograph but Myers does prefer to meet the individual to make sure he has correct skin tones etc. Prices are from £5000 upwards depending on variables such as height and materials. A pretty novel idea, very time consuming but could make a great feature piece in a shop but instead you could just have the brand sprayed on, would be great for a company like (drumroll please...) Screwfix. Actually think it would be more suited to Caterpillar or Timberland, more rugged brand, heavy machinery, industrial and more likely to spend money on there brand and image.


This could make resistant materials more fun...
