Wow Artist Destroys Apple Products

Artist Michael Tompert, a former graphic designer at Apple, is putting on an exhibition showing Apple products which he has destroyed in various ways – burned with blowtorches, smashed with sledgehammers, chopped up with handsaws or shot with a handgun.

Presumably the image editing was done elsewhere, what with all his own gear being smashed up all over the studio and all.
