Argentinian art collective Mondongo (which is the name of a traditional Argentinian tripe stew) creates incredibly detailed portraits by using dripped and molded Plasticine.
Mondongo which consists of the trio Juliana Laffitte, Manuel Mendanha and Agustina Picasso was founded in 1999 and has created subversive works out of a multitude of ingredients.
In their 2008 manifesto, they claim, "We are like three witches stirring it up in a cauldron… attempting to alchemize, to distill, and to ooze all the chaos and the all possible “all-ness” in it…"

Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better. ~André Gide
Plasticine Portraits by Mondongo
Push Pin Art by Eric Daigh
California artist Eric Daigh creates portraits by putting ordinary push pins in posterboard.
He uses blue, red, white, yellow and black push pins (he sprays green pushpins black since there are no black pushpins) to create his masterpieces.

Each portrait requires about between 25,000 and 100,000 pushpins which he applies one at a time.

Numberism Painting by Sienna Morris
Portland-based artist Sienna Morris uses numbers and scientific formulas to draw beautiful works of art.
The technique is much like pointillism, however Morris uses Numbers instead of dots. There are absolutely no lines and no smudging in these drawings.
Sienna’s people are always drawn with the numbers of the clock. “Time is all we have. It’s how we experience this world, and is the greatest thing to gain or lose.”
Sienna’s Math and Science series is drawn with scientific and mathematical data relevant to the subject matter.

Amazing Art Made Of Map
Artist: Nikki Rosato
Massachusetts-based artist Nikki Rosato cuts away old maps until only the roads and rivers remain. She creates compelling 2-D and 3-D portraits of real-life people from maps of places they care about or identify with.
"Our physical bodies are beautiful structures full of detail, and they hold the stories that haunt and mold our lives. The lines on a road map are beautifully similar to the lines that cover the surface of the human body," Rosato says in a statement on her website.
