AN artist shows he’s mad for it by creating this image of Oasis brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher using thousands of screws.
Darren Timby, who has made 11 other similar artworks, uses a photo as a guide and carefully powers in a mix of zinc, gold and black screws — and often plays Oasis music while working.
Darren, of Sunderland, said: “I work in pixels a lot, being a graphic designer.
“I enjoy making things with my hands, so the two seemed to go well together.”
He spent 120 hours and 24,000 screws on an artwork of The Beatles.
He first started creating screw art in 2020.
“I find it very therapeutic,” he said.
He said his screw art is a way to pay homage to Sunderland’s history as an industrial city.
“Ship building and coal mining are all part of our history and the screw art is almost like a nod to where I’m from,” he added.
“Us Sunderland folk are known as Mackems. We make things.”
