Micro Artist David A. Lindon Sets Record with World's Smallest Handmade Lego Sculpture
February 21, 2025
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.
