Zac Freeman Junk Portraits
Zac Freeman collects junk, found objects and trash which he combines to create portraits. Up close, the pieces look like crap cobbled together; when viewed from afar, the work is quite compelling.

If Nickelodeon and Pixar remade Johnny English, they’d probably come up with something like the beautifully wacky Salesman Pete created by Marc Bouyer, Anthony Vivien and Max Loubaresse.
