Andrew Myers is the only artist in the world who uses screws as the main medium to create 3D art, in this case, 3D portraits! The brilliant artist doesn’t rely on a computer to pixelate his works, unlike other artists. Myers simply makes a grid and drills in screws at certain key points to establish the depth of his artwork. Watch a video here on how he does it. Link | Via

The screw holes have to be drilled beforehand so that the screws go in straight. But pay attention to this! The background of the portrait is made up of phone book pages! That’s right, and guess what? Usually those phone book pages are with listings from the area of the subject. Awesome!
