[/p] Vistors to a Chinese gallery viewed the painting through a microscope at 50,000 times magnification. [/p] Other micro-painters include Russian artist Valeriy Dvoryanov who creates oil paintings of famous people on poppy seeds and grains of rice.

His biggest work to date is 2003's picture of the Titanic, on a 2-mm-long mineral sliver. [/p] One of his works is inscribed with the words: "I have loved the sun all my life and always wanted to paint the sun" in letters a fraction of a millimetre wide, painted using a sharpened human hair. [/p] And in 2002, Micro-artist Willard Wigan spent months designing, sculpting and painting a miniature figure of Muhammad Ali fighting Sonny Liston on a pin head. [/p] His collection includes a Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Tower Bridge and Jesus - each fitted into the eye of a needle.  [/p] It also features a minute Statue of Liberty and a boxing ring containing Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield.[!-- E BO --]                                   
The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.

I don't even see how that's possible. I used to paint miniatures that were about 1/2" tall and even the slightest tremor would ruin it. Needless to say I messed up a lot. Unbelievable.
For thou art with me; thy cream and thy sugar they comfort me
Thou preparest a carafe before me in the presence of Juan Valdez
Thou anointest my day with pep; my mug runneth over
Surely richness and taste shall follow me all the days of my life
And I will dwell in the house of coffee forever.

lol.

  steady hand and maybe a certain technique where the artist has reduced creatign the image down to two or three strokes.
