Micro Artist David A. Lindon Sets Record with World's Smallest Handmade Lego Sculpture
  • His latest Lego sculpture was crafted from a regular-sized Lego piece and was independently verified as the smallest sculpture ever made by Evident Scientific and Spectrographic Limited in Leeds.

  • David A. Lindon, a micro artist from Bournemouth, has achieved a new Guinness World Record for the smallest handmade sculpture, a red Lego piece measuring an astonishing 0.02517mm by 0.02184mm.

  • This remarkable feat came just 20 minutes after he broke his own record with a four-studded Lego brick, showcasing his incredible skill.

  • The creation process involved months of meticulous planning and craftsmanship, reflecting Lindon's dedication to his art.

  • Lindon emphasized the physical and mental demands of crafting such tiny objects, which require a microscope to be seen, and he employs techniques to control his movements during the delicate process.

  • To minimize movement while working, he has trained himself to slow his breathing and work between heartbeats.

  • Preferring to work at night, Lindon dedicates six to ten hours each evening to avoid disturbances from daytime traffic vibrations.

  • He finds joy in the challenges of creating miniature art and delights in the surprise and wonder expressed by viewers when they see his work.

  • Since beginning his micro art career in 2019, Lindon has created notable pieces, including three microscopic renditions of Van Gogh's masterpieces that sold for £90,000.

  • Looking ahead, Lindon is planning to open an exhibition titled 'The Smallest Zoo in the World' in Poole during the summer of 2025, showcasing his miniature animal sculptures.

  • Although the record was awarded in August 2024, it has only recently been reported in February 2025, highlighting the unique nature of his achievements.

  • Lindon has created three Lego bricks: one with eight studs, another with four, and a third with a single stud, all of which are invisible to the naked eye.
