Californian portrait artist and sculptor, Andrew Myers is a patient man.

He 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.

One of the most challenging parts is getting rid of the flat drawing underneath because he then has to paint over each of the screw heads, individually, so that in the end, the sculpture looks like an actual portrait.

Oblivious to the political sea-change occuring all around them, Georgia Salpa and Vogue Williams promote “Celtic Horizon tours announcement of its partnership with EagleRider, the biggest motorcycle tourism organiser in the world” this morning. Helping to provide red top sub-editors with a throbbing tankload of bike-related puns and single entendres. Yes, they prefer to ride without a helmet. You can have that for free.
