Micro art sets new record with tiny Lego sculpture

The artist created three different sizes of a Lego-style brick using his own handmade microscopic tools.

He worked six to 10 hours at night to avoid the vibrations of daytime traffic.

His eight-spot Lego brick was measured as the narrowest structure ever made, while the smaller four-spot brick broke the original record which was set in 2017.

The artist also created a smaller, one-spot brick and broke his own record within 20 minutes.

The sculpture was made from a piece of red Lego brick and was measured by a team at Evident Scientific using a light microscope.

The creation was then checked by Spectrographic Limited in Leeds who confirmed it as the smallest sculpture made in history.

It’s four times smaller than the previous record held by micro artist Dr Willard Wigan MBE who he says inspired him to have a go a micro art.

“It’s madness I know. I love the challenge, I love the discipline,” David said about his work.

“I love the look of wonder and surprise on people’s faces when they see my art for the first time. To see it in person, it blows your mind.”
