Pointed Portraits Formed by Nails by Artist David Foster

Artist David Foster has achieved the kind of detailing other artists could only dream of, and he’s done it not with pencil sketching, but nails. With patience to match an astonishing talent, he hammers in each one to differing lengths to create the shading. Such is the detail that one piece, “Lashes and Nails,” used a jaw-dropping 16,000 nails to complete. Other portraits include Rolling Stone Mick Jagger, the Empire State Building and a beautiful human eye.
