{artist: Willard Wigan}

Known as the creator of the world's smallest and most wondrous works of art, I couldn't agree more. Willard Wigan may also be the world's first "micro-sculptor".

I'm obviously in a very artsy and inspired place these days, but how can I be anything else when there are so many fascinating people out there doing the impossible for the sake of art. I use the words obsessed and love too much, but I am completely obsessed and in love with Willard's art.

Apparently, I'm not the only one... former England Davis Cup captain turned entrepreneur, David Lloyd purchased the remaining Willard Wigan collection of micro sculptured art in February 2007. The collection was subsequently insured by Lloyd’s of London for £11.2 million. A long time anonymous collector of art, David Lloyd’s purchase has been viewed by many as a significant coup in the art world.

Willard was commisioned by Lloyds of London to replicate the iconic Lloyd’s of London Building as designed by the award winning architect, Lord Richard Rogers. The difference however being that Willard's masterpiece was on a pinhead, which was then sold by Eric Knowles (Bonham’s Fine Art) for £94,000.
