    Artist Nails It With Stunning Portraits
    Artist Nails It With Stunning Portraits

    At first glance they appear to be intricate ink drawings but these amazing portraits are actually made with a hammer and thousands of nails.

    Former architect technician David Foster has quite literally hit the nail on the head with these extraordinary portraits, the 52-year-old spends weeks painstakingly putting together his Pointillism art.

    David's pictures cover a range of subjects, including celebrities, animals, flowers and even a hammer and nail.

    Highlights of his portraits include Queen Elizabeth II holding baby Prince Andrew, Steven Gerrard celebrating after scoring a goal for Liverpool, music legends David Bowie and Mick Jagger and sex-symbol Marilyn Monroe.

    His largest portrait so far is of 'King' Kenny Dalglish, which is made from 31,950 nails, one nail for every minute he played in the League for Liverpool.

    David, who is from St Helens on Merseyside, said: "Kenny played 355 League Games for LFC multiplied by 90 minutes equals the total amount of nails I used to make his portrait."

    David bases his portraits initially on a photograph which he reproduces by stippling with an ink pen.

    The inked drawing is then enlarged to mark out where the nails go and then the nailing begins.

    Many thousands of nails later David will have the completed portrait.

    Since winning the Warrington Contemporary Open Competition in 2012 with his artwork, David has continued to make enough hammer and nail portraits to hold a solo exhibition, which was in September.

    And David doesn't have plans to stop any time soon, he said: "My work has evolved and developed over time, I now use tiny nails which enables the vie...

    Artist Nails It With Stunning Portraits

    At first glance they appear to be intricate ink drawings but these amazing portraits are actually made with a hammer and thousands of nails.

    Former architect technician David Foster has quite literally hit the nail on the head with these extraordinary portraits, the 52-year-old spends weeks painstakingly putting together his Pointillism art.

    David's pictures cover a range of subjects, including celebrities, animals, flowers and even a hammer and nail.

    Highlights of his portraits include Queen Elizabeth II holding baby Prince Andrew, Steven Gerrard celebrating after scoring a goal for Liverpool, music legends David Bowie and Mick Jagger and sex-symbol Marilyn Monroe.

    His largest portrait so far is of 'King' Kenny Dalglish, which is made from 31,950 nails, one nail for every minute he played in the League for Liverpool.

    David, who is from St Helens on Merseyside, said: "Kenny played 355 League Games for LFC multiplied by 90 minutes equals the total amount of nails I used to make his portrait."

    David bases his portraits initially on a photograph which he reproduces by stippling with an ink pen.

    The inked drawing is then enlarged to mark out where the nails go and then the nailing begins.

    Many thousands of nails later David will have the completed portrait.

    Since winning the Warrington Contemporary Open Competition in 2012 with his artwork, David has continued to make enough hammer and nail portraits to hold a solo exhibition, which was in September.

    And David doesn't have plans to stop any time soon, he said: "My work has evolved and developed over time, I now use tiny nails which enab...

    Shed of the Year 2013 competition entrants, Britain - Feb 2013
    Entrants for the 2013 Shed of the Year competition are now being accepted. But forget your common garden shed, those entered in this competition are on a whole new level. They've been converted into pubs, diners, Chinese pagodas, boats and even clad in CDs by their fanatical owners. The contest, which is sponsored by garden woodcare brand Cuprinol, has already attracted more than 2,000 entries this year. Researchers from Cuprinol found that the typical owner spends over a year of their life in their shed. Almost 50 per cent of the 1,000 owners surveyed say they would be lost without their sheds, with 12 per cent preferring time there to being with their family. Nominations for the competition close on May 3rd, while the winners will be announced in the first week of July.
