Artist has a screw loose

A British man makes works of art by drilling screws into pieces of wood.

Andrew Myers, 31, creates portraits using 10,000 screws, spending six months a time to make his three-dimensional pieces of work.

First he drills holes into the wood before painstakingly inserting the screws one at a time.

He explained:"This kind of art is unique enough that I have to keep going with it, but it costs so much to create each piece it's not as financially rewarding as you may think. They are more a labour of love."
