Nanoscopic Artist David A. Lindon



“His art fits in eye of a needle. Now he’s made 3 Van Goghs in a watch.”

Some of his works are lost in his carpet.

Late at night while most everyone in the coastal English town of Bournemouth is sleeping, David A. Lindon sits in front of a microscope making the tiniest of artworks. His creations are so minuscule and precise, he steadies his hands by only moving them between his own heartbeats.

A few years ago, at least one piece of artwork became lodged inside Lindon’s nose, never to be seen again.

“I inhaled it by accident, and poof. It was gone,” he said. “To do what I do, you practically have to work yourself into a trance. I guess you could say that I must be mad.”
