Look Closer......No, Closer!

I saw this next artist on the "Sunday Morning Show" a few months back and he blew my mind!  His name is Willard Wigan and he is a micro sculptor.  What does that mean?  Williard creates miniature sculptures that are the size of a pin head.  In fact, he can even go as small as the tip of a human hair!  Each piece that he creates can only be viewed through these one of a kind microscope domes.  In fact, if you are able to afford one of his tiny sculptures, it comes with the special dome.  Again I can't tell you how amazing this guy really is.  His pieces sell for over $300,000 and he sold his life's work to a collector for $20 mil.  Not too shabby.  Get Inspired

Here is a video of Willard's work-Watch it!
