An artist used Play-Doh to make some amazingly bizarre portraits

This guy in this picture looks like a horrifying monster, with ragged, flesh-colored chunks of gore where his face should be.

Turns out, it's just Play-Doh.

Jose Cardoso is a 32-year-old graphic designer and illustrator living in Portugal.

He made a series of portraits where he Photoshops queasy lumps of Play-Doh onto pictures of his friends. The results are equal parts fascinating and deeply upsetting.
