Take a look at these beautiful portraits intricately put together by Yorkshire sculptor Marcus Levine, each holding from 3,000 to 5,000 nails. Yes, we said nails! The portraits are a labor of love as each piece is painstakingly constructed one nail at a time. The intensity of the portraits changes depending on the lighting, the direction and the amount of shadowing cast by the nails.

“I regularly cut myself and occasionally hit my finger with the hammer. So I do suffer for my art”
