    Seems a little unlikely... ?

    I forget the name of the process where they can make tiny things, but I know it's possible. Using machines though, not manually.

    It takes the guy 4 months to do the Lloyds TSB building, but how?

    The site has no info.

    I'm puzzled. Help me, tab

    Amazing, sure, but pointless and stupid, if you ask me.
    I know "art" is entirely subjective, but in my subjective opinion, this isn't art - it's a silly stunt.
    They aren't beautiful at all - he just did them to say he did.

    To each his own, I suppose, but it seems ridiculous to me.

    By the way, I can see the eye of a needle without a microscope.

    He uses grains of rice and sugar, he sculpts in between heartbeats to avoid hand tremors, he paints them with an eyelash, he just sold a collection for...11 million pounds!!!

    Not nearly so incredible as these works of art, but in a shop in Seattle, you can still read the Lord's Prayer on a grain of rice. It's pretty script, as I recall.
