Jaw-dropping portraits of Kurt Vonnegut and Twiggy made entirely from junk mail by artist Sandhi Schimmel Gold. The Kurt Vonnegut piece is still available for $800.00. From the artist:

My work reflects our society’s obsession with beauty through advertising - and the endless images that bombard us daily. It is a purposeful intermix of images derived from advertising and thousands of incongruent pieces - images and text - from advertising that arrives through my mailbox. Assembled like a mosaic; the paper tiles create an entirely new image - an eclectic and tactile portrait reworked in my imagination, utilizing materials that would otherwise go to waste.
