I make the smallest Art in the world! David A Lindon has 12 Guinness World Records. 2025

My name is David A Lindon, creator of the smallest handmade sculptures in history! I now create microscopic artworks that fit comfortably inside the eye of a needle! I use a variety of materials from micro sized pigments, dust, minerals, Kevlar strands, carbon, carpet fibres, pieces of ceramic, precious metals such as gold, platinum, gem stones such as diamonds, emeralds. I also use tools from nature, hairs from a dragonfly’s leg as precision paint brushes, where I use the micro size point to create the colourful iris or black pupil of an eye. The antenna from a stag beetle can be useful with it’s comb-like end to create the texture of realistic hair by literally brushing along the material to create different hair styles from curly bobs to Hollywood waves. I sometimes use pollen grains as thickeners for my paint as each grain can act like a micro size sponge. One of the most useful discoveries I have made from nature are the white pappus on dandelion seeds. I have found these filaments clustered together can make ideal paint brushes when recreating classic paintings. I use my own special micro precision tools and techniques that I’ve been crafting over the years. I mount microblading needles onto the ends of instrument screwdrivers. Then with around sixty of the hand tools I mount microscopic attachments to the tip of the microblading needles. The tools are made from silicon carbide also known as carborundum which is only second in hardness to diamond. These tools I use for cutting, carving, gouging and shaping. Other tools have ultra fine hairs for painting, holding and manipulating the art. With a huge variety of attachments from drills, saws, forks, tweezers to paint brushes and lifting and holding tools I have a micro toolbox at my disposal. Unfortunately because of the nature of these delicate tools they are constantly breaking and I’m forced to stop what I’m doing and remake them. I meticulously carve and shape my creations, slowly adding painstaking layers of detail and complexity. I paint each creation with carefully chosen pigments using microscopic sized paint brushes. To begin I sketch out my designs and I usually have to make several prototypes before I begin the final version. Each piece I create can take months of painstaking work before I am happy with the result. My most important piece of kit is my microscope. I use a Nikon SMZ25. This is a high resolution, high magnification flagship stereo microscope. It has a top of the range optical system with a foot pedal controlled zoom and focusing control. This particular feature enables me to hold my micro precision tools by hand under the microscope without the need to remove my hands to refocus or zoom in or out. It takes hundreds of hours using unique skills, patience and dedication to make a single piece of art, but seeing the look on people’s faces and their reactions makes it all worthwhile. Everything connected with making microscopic artworks is hard and complex. It is a real challenge to control my hands and my breathing, let alone create something almost literally out of nothing. Only when you look into the microscope for yourself can you really appreciate the magic, the intricate details and the depth of colour that photos simply fail to capture. I modify all of my equipment to help me refine my creations, from my tools to the microscope itself, everything is customised to help me create my art. I must slow my breathing down to steady my hands. I keep my heart rate as low as possible as a single twitch from my fingers can wreck months of work. I hope you enjoy my creations and take a moment to appreciate how they are made.
