I happened to catch this guy on a show called "Is It Possible" and found his work fascinating. He creates amazingly small sculptures and actually does the work by hand. While it is not provacative, thought-inducing, I liked the techincal side of it.

In this one, to get the ropes of the boxing ring, he actually sliced a dust fiber in half. Unfortunately, I could not find a better image of this one.

Nice!

If you go to the Museum of Jurassic Technology (an excellent and weird perma-art-installation), you'll see some other micro-sculptures in person. Even one of Goofy.

Does Mott's Miniatures still exist at Knott's Berry farm? Also full of very cool micro-sculptures.

They got booted from Knott's in 1992

That's a shame.
