Swedish photographer Philip Karlberg used clever lighting and carefully arranged wooden pins to create a series of unique celebrity portraits for Plaza Magazine. "A couple of months ago I came up with an idea I have had in mind for years" he says, "I just didn't know what I could use it for. But then I did a test with sunglasses, and it really turned out great. So I sent an image with the test to Plaza Magazine, and a week later I started shooting. It was a real challenge to recreate the famous faces with their iconic sunglasses. It took me 6 days to shoot the 6 faces, and around 1200 sticks were used.

Woody:

Origin
In 2006, Japanese toy company Kaiyodo released their Revoltech line of collector-oriented toys that consisted mainly of Anime figures. In 2010, Kaiyodo broadened their variety of toys with a new subline called the Sci-Fi (Tokusatsu) Revoltech series. This line focused on iconic characters from Japanese and American film and television series like Mothra, Gamera, the Alien, Jack Skellington and Batman. In March of 2010, Kaiyodo unveiled prototypes for Buzz Lightyear and Sheriff Woody from the Toy Story movies. Like most Revoltech toys, the Woody figures had an alternate faceplate to choose from:

The UK's advertising watchdog has released a list of the most complained-about ads of all time. There are some surprising results.

Anyone guessing what adverts provoked the most complaints might speculate along the lines of sex, violence, swearing, animal cruelty and blasphemy.

Wrong. A Kentucky Fried Chicken TV advert, which aired in 2005 and featured call centre workers singing with their mouths full of food, is the most complained about of all time.

To coincide with its 50th anniversary, the Advertising Standards Authority has collated the 10 adverts from the past half century that have garnered the most complaints.

1. KFC (2005): Call centre workers singing while eating 1,671 complaints - not upheld
2. Auction World (2004): Shopping channel 1,360 complaints - referred to Ofcom
3. Paddy Power (2010): Cat being kicked by blind football player 1,313 complaints - not upheld
