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.

How does he paint those sculptures? A single hair?
Wow!

Semper Audere!
Sculpting between heartbeats??? You've got to be kidding!!
All I can say is 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.
