He sculpts full size then uses the shrinky-machine from the Fantasic Voyage movie.

There was a pretty long piece on the BBC on this guy a month or two ago, right before a big auction.

Apparently he uses a single-haired brush (if I remember correctly, it's a insect's hair brush that he makes himself) and paints between heartbeats.

Not my thing, but the fine motor control and sheer discipline involved is totally amazing.

Group hypnosis. We only THINK this stuff is really small.

I was going to give you a hard time over your thread title being so small and hard to click on, but then I saw the link - now I think your thread title may be enormous in comparison.
How does he paint those sculptures? A single hair?
Wow!

With a decent microscope and some micromanipulation equipment, I'll bet I could improve on his product, but it wouldn't have the same cachet as painting with a hair of a fly's leg.

Pretty amazing, and I still don't know how they make needles!

Obviously the man is an impractical artist. If he were a true hobbyist, he would have begun by making a really small table saw.
