it's a TINY (!) world

you'll probably know by now I enjoy amazing works of others that are unique in this world, well: I've stumbled across something again that just blew my mind! It's the work of Willard Wigan and what he does is so unbelievable, I cannot comprehend it. And not only does he make such small sculptures, his attention to detail is absolutely ridiculous. Especially considering the tiny scale he works in. It's so small you can only see his work through a microscope.

golfer on the head of a pin, look at that detail!

so glad I just like to make 1:12th and the occassional 1:144th scale :D


"Willard, a completely self taught artist, has been the subject of many discussions among micro-surgeons, nano-technologists and universities worldwide. His work is considered both inspirational and ground breaking in artistic and scientific spheres." source: Willard Wigan website

for reference to see how ridiculously small his work is; it's inside that tiny eye of a needle or on the top of a pinhead

and here's some more of his astounding accomplishments in 'needle'work with some mindboggling details about what he uses :D

think this is crazy? What he did here is outright bizar! ;)

hope you enjoy!
