Not stopping with those additions, David Nobody - the creation of artist David Henry Brown Jr. - has even included peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and plastic toys in his face shots. To date, David estimates he has taken around 700 self-portraits in this style since starting the project in 2014. - SEE CATERS COPY

Art can be confusing.

We might not *get* it, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t art. If it means something to the creator, or to the people that look at it, then, well, that’s art.

Bear that in mind as we introduce you to David Henry Nobody Jr, an artist who creates self-portraits.

These self-portraits are a little different to your average bit of photography.

Rather than posing naked or among some leaves, David likes to pose with food, rubbish, or other everyday objects stuck all over his face.

Why? We truly don’t know. Let’s just go with it.

David Nobody, who is the creation of artist David Henry Brown Jr, started the project back 2014, and says he has taken around 700 self-portraits in this style.

‘I have a history of working in character – much like a writer would write in character,’ says the artist.

‘I morph my identity into the things around me.

‘I’m definitely not afraid to be cheesy and enjoy using humour.

‘I get a lot of positive responses – some negative.

‘I think for a lot of people, we live in a more cookie cutter reality, and this work shows young people they don’t have to follow that.’

Sure.

There is a deeper meaning to the works than just putting sausages on his face, apparently.

David says the portraits are a take on consumerist society, sourcing objects from Craigslist, friends, local charity shops, dumpsters, and dollar stores.

Perhaps you find some profound purpose in the works. Maybe you’ll take some selfie inspiration from them. Whatever your reaction, you can enjoy the images below.
