Artist David Foster uses thousands of nails hammered to a canvas to create these incredibly detailed portraits.

His drawings use about 5,000 to 30,000 nails.

Each piece begins with a photograph, that Foster reproduces with an ink pen by meticulously stippling every contour. He then enlarges the drawing to use as his guide where the nails should go.

"My journey into art has come from a career in Architecture. My love of technical drawing has matured into using just ink pen stippling to create shadow and light with just dots and now more excitingly with hammer and nails. I have always been fascinated with how little information the brain needs to interpret a picture and love the simplicity of a picture made up from just dots…The whole process thrills me, taking just a hammer and a box of nails and arranging them into an artwork…You really need to see my work up close as photographs don’t do it justice."
