Subverting the selfie: New York artist's bizarre portraits

If you love taking seriously flattering selfies, look away now.

His highly original, sometimes disturbing, "anti-selfies" are attracting lots of likes from his social media followers, who are no doubt fascinated by his use of ripped magazines, discarded toys, fast food and women's wigs, amongst other items.

He explains the thinking behind the project to Dan Damon.
