Here is a guy who makes detailed sculptures smaller than the eye of a needle or head of a pin. It’s remarkable. [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYi458oI0-8) ---

He can’t read or write??? This guy is amazing. A talent that can hardly even be summed up in words. I’ve seen people who do rice grain carvings before, but Willard Wigan is on a whole other level. Glad to see at the end that he is now a welathy man. ---

I’ve given him a shout before, somewhere on here. ( Embarrassingly, I misspelt his name. ) One of the most amazing men on this planet. ---

He at least gets a good amount for his work and can have a good life style. No starving artist there. ---

> [@Harmonious\_Discord](#): > > He at least gets a good amount for his work and can have a good life style. No starving artist there. Your comment comes across as a little disparaging. Did you mean it to? Surely he proves the old _“only a poor artist can produce important work”_ line, to be a lie? Btw, with regards to the OP, [here is another one.

Nikolai Syadristy](http://www.biopolitics.gr/HTML/PUBS/Ukraine98/Nikolai%20Syadristy_eng.htm) I mean he getting money besides a pat on the shoulder. I think making money on your work is important. They say he sold his life’s work for $20,000,000. ---
