This was just incredible. Not just the staggering patience of him as an artist, but his whole point of view. His mention of the bee and how there is so much life in the tiniest of things.
I can’t even imagine the amount of patience and talent it takes to do something like this repeatedly!! He’s absolutely incredible i don’t know how this is the first time I’ve learned about him. He’s incredible 👏🏽👏🏽
It’s so amazing to see this man, at 65 years of age, receiving his flowers for his amazing talents. He’s a tremendous artist, I hope he keeps creating for many years to come.
I've seen these artworks before, and always assumed that they were made using a micromanipulator, a machine that scientists use to manipulate very small things like cells. I can't even imagine how far above average his fine motor control must be. Even a steady hand looks shaky under a microscope.
I've seen them before too, but at his museum in Bath 20 years ago. When saw this video went 'oh, is it him?' cause he worked in the building and would come out most days to chat - was amazing to hear him talk of regulating breathing & working between heart beats to get them. Really cool to see how his art has developed in 20 years since then!
Man sometimes I go months without seeing a truly clever YT comment. That bit at the end there was legitimately clever. I choose to deduct no points for "proberly", you get a pass! (Joking, don't hate me)
It's amazing how much detail he can add to the sculptures at their scale! Finding sculpture material even in dust motes does seem to to change the potential of the small things around us
Amazingly impressive. The tangible skills that it takes along with the balance of the mind to create these sculptures are signs that he has true talents.
The amount of patience and focus this talent requires is just astonishing. We live in a world where things change so rapidly, and people do not take the time to appreciate the present. This man shows us how LITTLE things can make BIG differences.

HOLY SH*T!!!!!! I have been an award winning professional wedding cake designer, a professional Calligrapher, and a machine design embroiderer...It took me years to learn these skills (I'm now 60 years old) ...but all of my skills are like that of a preschool student when compared to this man's art...it is beyond incredible...People think autism is a handicap...Is it??????
It very much is a handicap for many, many autistic people. Not only is it very varied, but it also touches many people with autism in very particular ways that only make you unable to function in society to any meaningful degree. This man seems to be able to function and communicate well enough (whether he just could or actually had to learn by working hard).
It blows my mind how patient people can be. I am almost the opposite. When I try to untie a knot, balance something or stick something small through a hole, I have a window of about half a minute before I start breathing heavily and getting increasingly agitated until I smash something. It's weird, it's completely brain related. But I feel so much more comfortable with big enough things and I can spend hours moving stuff around in a zen-like state if I can properly grab it. But when something is so small, it's out of reach, I get frustrated super-quickly to the point of aggression.
the way he chooses to encourage people to not judge people with autism and encourages people with autism is simply amazing. thank you for looking out for us
I went to see this guy's sculptures at an exhibit in Liverpool about 15 years ago. I wrote in the message book there "Not bad, but I bet you can't put a Fruit Pastille in your mouth without chewing it."
That piece with the camels is definately quite amazing! It could be called the Silk Road in a needle‘s eye. I would however think twice about that comparison towards the whole branch of surgeons;)
@@-Reagan Matthew 19:23-24 23 And Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly, I say to you, only with difficulty will a rich person enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”
Watching this made me realize I can do anything I set my mind to do, with time, dedication and patience. This is as unimaginable as it might get, even easier to be a multimillionaire than achieve this level of talent. Inspirational!
Drawing under a magnifying glass used to be one of my favorite activities. Making entire pictures/scenes in a spot that looks smaller than a dot by a pencil.
The other day I was doing micro soldering and i was pissed. But it is usually the initial effort that is frustrating. But this guy is on some other level. Patience is a big thing really!
I thought I was going to watch a video about an incredible artist (which is vastly understated) however I was taken into a deep silence and received a spiritual teaching that words can’t accurately explain ❤

breathtaking because you literally cant breathe near it

just like ray mak i see u everywhere 🤣🤣
He’s autistic.
This guy is so amazing, it's the least I could do to carve out a tiny bit of time to watch this.
What a cute comment :)
Couldn’t agree more. This is insane ❤
How can he do just tbis and not get bored or fed up with it..doesn't he want to be a microsurgeon too and or maybe a musician or scientist ?
Nah, it's just because of genes and chromosome
Pun?
the inhaling alice story made me laugh out loud on the train 😂
As a sculptor, I am blown away. It is hard enough to sculpt at normal scale. To maintain proportion at that scale...just wow.
“I didn’t get bitter; I got better.” -so powerful and inspirational!
This guy is undoubtedly the best in the world at what he does; not a lot of people can say that. I doubt he’ll ever have an equal too.
I bet he has a lot of competition, haha
The person Who makes sculptures out of the led on the penicil maybe
He copied people.... he not the original ..but okay id....t

Great choice
How does he keep.doing it if it's not enjoyable..doesn't he want time and energy for other things in life??
Fun fact, a human egg cell is about 100 microns in diameter, so that baby sculpture could actually fit inside one.
Wow

Great comment
I'm incredibly fascinated by this, how does someone get into making microscopic sculptures? I'm blown away.
You should check out the guys that sculpt pencil leads too!
His mum encouraged him to make smaller and smaller sculptures 😊
This is insane, there is no other word to describe it.
Genes and Chromosome
Snas harmless though.
He's totally blowing my mind
No..he's..."OBSESSED" (see what I did there?)
HOW TF AM I JUST HEARING ABOUT HIM NOW?? THIS GUY'S ARTWORK IS INSANELY COOL
neurosurgery is gonna be nuts for him
I love miniatures but this is on a whole other level. This is the coolest thing I've ever seen.
Amazed how he came up with the idea of catching floating fibers
Yeah and drilling a hole in a human hair insane
How does one even discover they have this talent?
This is the product of 50 years of dedication and perseverance quite honestly. He said it himself.
It starts with so many emotions, patience and lots of meth
When you are so rich and have all the time to your hobbies I sure you will stumble in this at some point

sameee
Absolutely amazing! That kid who gave him his first microscope must have seen something special in him.
Hahah, this is amazing! Laughed so hard when he said he inhaled Alice
He called Alice when she was just small
This has got to be one of the most incredible and inspirational things I have ever seen.
I heard the "this requires a steadier hand than any surgeon" and rolled my eyes, but nah he's absolutely correct. Superhuman dexterity

depends on the person and their experiences. Some people see it as a blessing in disguise, others desperately wish they were born without it

@jerrell1169 or maybe we are all savants but haven't found our skill yet.
Alice nooooooo 😂 What an incredible man, he has a rare vision, literally and figuratively.
He made me cry. This is truly amazing. I live tiny things. I aspire to such greatness. I love his philosophy.
That was just amazing.
These things are what make us humans such an amazing creature.
The amazing power that humans have is the power to change theirselves.
I watched this and was completely blown away by the level of complexity, skill, and integrity he makes these creations.
What a discipline! Amazing! His own tiny tools 🛠️

This is the most talented person I have ever seen, honestly.
"I inhaled Alice" 😭
Incredible talent. This is genius in its purest form.
It hit hard when he said it was "...impossible to enjoy it". Here's a guy that is using his talents at their FULLEST.
His closing statement was awesome.
Wow. I love his philosophy at the end there. It truly is the little things❤
1:10 no lie when it said eyelash on the screen, I literally had an eyelash on my screen next to the line………I’m buying a lottery ticket.
OMG! This guy is a LIVING LEGEND!
"I don't get bitter - i get better." Thats the mindset of a winner right here.

“Where”
“HERE”
“BRO I CAN’T SEE ANYTHING”

This man is a superhero. He turns nothing into something, literally. Absolute legend
This is hero level it sure takes nerves of steel and hands of steel with great eye and hand and eye coordination pure dedication
Bruh my heart beat went up watching this video. I cannot imagine the frustration and anxiety he goes through with every artwork.
That Alice in the wonderland story was hilarious🤣
Hes gonna be rearranging atoms at this point....

Really, bc it’s based on the biblical phrase, Isn’t it? It’s harder for a rich man to get into heaven than a camel to fit through the eye of a needle
I've done microsurgery, even the tiniest lymphatic surgery is much larger that this. To be fair it's in a farless controlled environment.

ur right brother

Extraordinarily gifted
How did he drill a hole in a single piece of hair 😳
With a hair drill. Obviously.
He could actually make a descent CPU. It would just take him a few million years.
I can only imagine how many half-finished, mini sculptures there are just scattered around the floor in his house
In the grand scheme of things, when it comes to the universe, we’re smaller than his amazing sculptures.
He is worthy of a statue, a statue that just proclaims, "Here is a good man."
The other day I was doing micro soldering and i was pissed. But it is usually the initial effort that is frustrating. But this guy is on some other level. Patience is a big thing really!
His message at the end should be implemented into society
Just looking at this video is stressing me out
Wow, just WOW. Dude is insanely talented
Blows my mind every time! 🤯👏🏻👏🏻
The education system failed many people over the years, glad you showed them what different neurologically can do!
i need to watch like a timelapse of one of these
I give the highest level of patience to him. I’ll die on that opinion.

Wow. He must have hawk eyes with really superhuman stable hands. Really amazing skills.
So I am amazed by the artistry, but I am envious of the amount of patients and focus this man must have to do something like this.
"It is easier for a camel to pass through an eye of a needle"...but caravan of them... That's my favorite one.

Respect that he is willing to do this to himself 💀
I love tiny sculptures.

That last bit of what he said was so profound. Made me tear up a bit.
