God of Small Things

I recently had the privilege of attending a talk given by creative genius Willard Wigan. Described as the "8th Wonder of the World", Wigan grew up in England. Painfully shy and dyslexic, he was berated by teachers in front of other students and told that he would not go far in life. He could have given up; instead he turned lemons into lemonade (pardon the cliché) and created something no one else had before - microscopic sculptures. I found his story inspiring on so many levels and hope you will too.

I really wish there was video from the talk that I saw as I enjoyed it more than his TED Talk found here. Check out some of his work below. For a greater appreciation of exactly how tiny his sculptures are (they are invisible to the naked eye for goodness sakes), take a look at the following videos and visit his website.  Amazing

(Umm, I think they meant, "This is the most amazing thing I've EVER seen")
