Microscopic masterpieces: Meet the man who makes the world’s smallest handmade sculptures
Dr Willard Wigan MBE has made his name as the ‘world’s greatest micro artist’ for his mind-boggling creations that are invisible to the naked eye.
His intricate art can only properly be viewed through a microscope, and is so tiny that it’s often displayed inside the eye of a needle, on the head of a pin or even on a human eyelash.
Wigan has achieved two world records for the smallest handmade sculptures. His first record, back in 2013, was for a minuscule 24-carat gold motorbike. He then went on to break his own record in 2017 by sculpting a human embryo from a carpet fibre. According to Guinness World Records, the sculpture measured 0.05388 mm (53.88 microns) wide and was placed inside a hollowed-out strand of Wigan’s own beard hair.

I wish he would have his own YouTube channel and a nice microscope that records video and shows us him making these just like other ppl post videos of them building models with no talking just building it would be so cool. And I help kids with autism and teach them hobbies and believe it or not they are some of the best model builders you will ever see I had one 10 year old kid build a model car and he airbrushed it and it was so perfect it won best in show at one of the biggest model car contests in our state it was that good against 20 plus year veteran builders I didn't help him one but he learned it all on his own how to airbrush and a off YouTube airbrush is to get flawless paint on the bodies. He had every wore you would see in engine bay hooked up on correct location with a reica fuse box with all the weighting and drawings inside the cover like a real cars fuse box with the correct size fuses in each slot and all wires for everything in correct spot all markings and labels and all all the veteran builders they have never seen a model car and 124th scale that looks so realistic to the real car that it's crazy they've never seen someone put that many wires in it and looks neat and nice and detailed and perfect he used a microscope for some of the wires because of 124 scale your tiny wires like your ignition and stuff are really really tiny you got tired drill tiny tiny holes and stuff so use the microscope and a tiny drill bit he made to make those tiny holes for all the wiring

There’s a really powerful message behind him creating a second Alice. I accidentally puked on a drawing I worked on for hours, but the second try turned out way better than the first.

His intricate art can only properly be viewed through a microscope, and is so tiny that it's often displayed inside the eye of a needle, on the head of a pin or even on a human eyelash.

Where's he exhibiting? I'll bring my electron microscope to get a full appreciation of his work.

I love this! I knew another artist who worked very small – but not this small. One of my first drawings in grade school was a close up “landscape” with blades of grass towering over ants.
Thank you!
