Don\u2019tcha hate it when your earphone wires get all tangled up? You place them in your trouser pocket for all of five seconds and voila, you\u2019ve got a thousand knots to untie. Well, take a look at these unholy tangles, which form to create gorgeously illustrated portraits. You may recognise a few famous faces here.<\/p>\n

Part of a pen-to-paper art project entitled \u2018iEarphones,’ the pieces include a portrait of Beatle member John Lennon, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, a tyrannosaurus rex and a lady (warning: a nude lady) with\u00a0the hair of Medusa, though instead of snakes slithering atop her head it\u2019s – you guessed it – earphones.<\/p>\n

The earphone wires appear to be that of the Apple iPod, and they are skillfully drawn by Canada-based artist Bashir Sultani. Below, you can see a video taking us through the making of the John Lennon picture, and below that is Sultani\u2019s project in full. Now if you don\u2019t mind, I\u2019m gonna go browse eBay for some wireless headphones, \u2018cos I\u2019m tired of all this untangling crap.<\/p>\n
