Using 5,000 Fender guitar plectrums, mosaic artist Ed Chapman created this portrait of Jimi Hendrix. It was auctioned of for £23,000 at Abbey Road Studios in London as part of Cancer Research's Sound and Vision fundraiser.
"I am very happy to have raised so much money from something that was fun to make. Jimi is a guitar legend and nobody played a Fender guitar quite like him.
I decided to use plectrums to create a portrait of him because I like experimenting with different materials and textures and I think it is a fitting tribute.” - Ed Chapman
