Needle Sized Art
Very incredible story! Not only is this mans art cool but he got a ton of cash for it!

Add to shopping bin.
This looks way way way way way fake!!
..of course, the 'h' is silent.
Gee, Steve..t'was just a diatribe. Are you like most, not unlike me..just promoting yusef without little notice, or credit to those that have fought in the Military? Were yu a frog? Don't pay no never mind to me..What about Gibson? What about Grace? What about OZ? What about this 'scoop' of a man with a microscope that really could hold his breath and sculpture in the eye of a needle? Then we h
I really want to pass this link on to my friends, but I refuse to subject them to Freida's commentary. Sorry, but the un-moderated commentary makes this article un-shareable.
Understatement!!
Funny how 'tiny things' have gotten the best of me..lol. Hope the man with the microscope is doing better than the ones reporting the news these days. I would rather believe in 'those behind the scenes.'
Methinks Freida has envy complex.
Charlie Rose? Wonder what he makes?
Has anyone been to the 'exhibit' to see the 'tiny things?' Did anyone see proof of how they were produced? Or t'was it just like most 'run of the mill' things these days..more like just for show?
Charlie horse!!
This man makes 'Whoa' way..more than his worth and so does his cutie pie..that dances through his hoops..called the ABC..sweetness, that she just now seems like she would like to put up her dukes against Palin.
Would that not be a match..a cat fight? Which do you want to win?
Problems plus five..equals a perfect 10 plus..
equal to what?
LOL
Don't you know, of course, a horse is a horse.
You rascal, you.
Dear Guzer,
Do you believe in babies?
I'd still venture to guess that 'the subject' here could be relied upon to 'show us' a 'flea circus.'
At best..beyond that..I sure would hope that 'those' that invested in him..have more 'in store'..than some museum of 'tiny masterpieces.' Yet..the way I see things..seems more 'twitter' than 'herd.'
So when is 'the drilling' in that last 'front' taking charge? Don't you know if there's a 'buck to make' might as well be fodder
CHARLIE MAKES WAY TOO, MUCH!!
and 'WHO' PAYS HIM!
Our Government, of course..
Who elected Obama, did we?
Charlie makes way, too much money..and I don't he 'gives' much 'an inch' for charity..yet for a write off. Maybe he's the one that gave the 'excess' scientific, research GOVERNMENT GRANT..2fer the money, 3 for the show?
Bet they believe in health care insurance, and that it's not 'rocket science.' Also, think with Obama in charge..might as well believe 'The Chicken' came first, or before..THE
"Short People" reminds me of all of us.
Dear 'truth' what a wonderful compliment you gave me.
I think complement with an 'e' equals sum.
"superior male intellect and ability"
LOL
Just WOW! :)
seems like garbage to me. have better things to do.
Freida obviously is named after Freida Kahlo and has a feminist chip on her shoulder about the superior male intellect and ability. Face it Freida mostly men drive civilisation forward as their abilities are more evenly distibuted across the spectrum and women's are more grouped around the middle, this leads to exponentially more male geniuses.
You people are so funny. Must be from the UK. I have always loved to hear you speak, even in anger. How interesting.
We'll never know more less we go see for ourselves and visit 'that exhibit.' Might be better than speculation.
And, gosh you can even take the kids to see this one!
i have to agree with problems on this. it does look kind of pathetic that you are having arguments on blogs. on a better note, amazing talent
whether you are Freida or not, i would just think about what you are doing. you people are probobly in your mid 20s-30s and are blogging on a fricken video from guzer.com. now if thats not bad enough, you are having in-depth arguments while blogging. now i wouldnt be blogging normally but i have to tell you how sad that makes all of you look. all of you probably still live in your parents house.
Couldn't watch this man work up close and personal 'cause I breath.
Reminds me of developing films in darkrooms long ago.
WOWOWOWOW
Goodness that man must of been very very lonely but darn that is super cool
gene-splicing anyone?The perfect portrait.
You know there were 2 kids that 'did that' hand waving thing when I was young. One was white and the other one black. Seems 'colour' has nothing to do with 'it.' I'm a long, long way away from L.A.
Wigan is doing a US tour this summer! First stop: L.A.! Show runs June 11 to July 5th at DAC Gallery in Los Angeles. Go to our website: dacgallery.com
I should probably rephrase that to make sense. There really was a kid that waved his hand as he stared at the sun. Guess he was autistic.
I still wonder what ever happened to that kid that attended 1st grade with, that waved his open hand in front of his face as he stared at the sun.
damn freida is ridiculous
What's up with Freida? I'm scared!!
Static sure is an interesting word.
Sure do miss the feedback here. Reminded me of ping pong..or table tennis.
a-ma-zing
Seems all here are 'just' up to nonsense and criticism.
Doesn't really seem to be a 'soul' here that really gives a 'hoot.' Well, 'cept for Horton.
Also, cork-it..verbal relates more to spoken rather than written word.
So really all I have is a case of 'the fingers.'
Gosh, maybe I shouldn't have pluralized that. And all this relates to a man that we suppose has little education, yet uses, or probably (more than likely) has access to some very expensive 'tools.' And, you know it's not all academic..might just run in the family.
Dear cork-it, you obviously haven't read the comments on many other sites.
Do metals have Deoxyribonucleic acid? I don't think so, but John Trudell did, or does..like his music, though. So, what makes this man so great? Is it that he creates tiny, almost molecular reconstructions for recreation, or is because he got broadcast and he's getting exhibited by some 'creative marketeers?'
What an awsome accomplishment. I hope he has learned to read, or has an honest person helping him invest all that money. It would be a shame if he turns it over to someone like Bernie Madoff to manage! Who can one trust these days?
Freida, please get a job. You've got the worst case of verbal diarrhea I have ever seen in my life.
I see a man with such learning disability's from school and probably home , that he just wanted to make a mark in his life. This was all he knew. So He did It! and Made 20 million dollars doing it. Hard work from a man that always felt so small. Lets hope after this, he doesn't.
Hey if you've got an extra ten-grand and enjoy the show, I do believe Guido might just have a point.
"These Eyes"..
Guess Who?
More better than any education, is having someone else believe in you.
BRYMEL04 sure got me goin' on and on trying to defend my flip-floppy self. I really do want to know what ticks. But, I'm silly enough to know what ticks me off. Does anyone want to understand how a man can hold hold his breath and create, or for that matter..how 'bout Charlie? He certainly doesn't hold his breath.
What an awesome tallent! Regarding Freida - If you really don't believe in God or that He is who He says He is..Just ask Him to fall on you. I mean, what can it hurt?
You are Beautiful, Highly Intelligent Man!! I am blessed to see and hear about your Masterpieces!! God Bless You!! Love, Rebecca
I'm gonna' get me some sleep now. Hope my somments are gone or erased by tomorrow.
Sonnet/comment what's the differnce..no one really cares anyway.
And what the heck does BRYMEL04 mean, really?
It's not a real name obviously..so must be bunk. And a bunch of 'others' here, too and for. Cowards or kids? Anyone can make a comment including me..and my comments might even be better than yorn. This is really just beginning to be interesting, course no one has come up with 'the goods' on why this needle work is so really so great.
An amazing artist is more than happy to excruciate his work..or at least try or end up starving like most that can't.
So, here we are, where we can't even have a paragraph or post a link.
This is 'cute' compared to our government bailing out banks that make their living off loaning money for more than it's worth and jump through hoops so they never paid in a penny in taxes, in fact, bet they've been getting 'FED' for so long we don't want to know the truth of the matter. And this is a pretty, simple and petty explanation of why our government representatives live in mansions and fly first class, or rather own their own runways. And tell me who cares about some man that recreate the wizard of ox in the eye of a needle..that's so easy to see through. Meanwhile your local farmer can't even sell his goods at your local super market.
"Dust In The Wind"
Ye Ole' Guzer..
You must be so proud of yourself.
Like what if a child logged on here and started reading all this?
Seems you could care less, and welcome all comments just to get yourself a well known 'link' or 'dink.'
Yet with all the filthy comments I've read on YouTube..
You are just one more that could care less for anything else.
Ever think there might be an innocent kid reading all this junk?
I've seen no ban to this end.
And even the best elude me, because all kids have to do is click.
Best Wishes to you and yours, think I'm gonna' finally gonna' crawl back inside my shell and sleep.
There's not much time left, maybe to know the truth. Yet, some would rather burn that candle BS, AND not ever tell us what they've truly learned, but instead sell us the latest drug, or vice, or device, or ..
you know as well as me that there are a bunch of very hungry young adults reading every word of what wealthy men like Charlie tell us, or report..and without a doubt 'they' would believe and not even guess that behind the talent lies the 'marketeers.' And that the people with the 'mouths' are the ones that advance their very own careers by investing what little they earn to learn rather they have become 'popular' or not. Then, just like humpty dumpty eventually their dollar goes bust unless they truly had some talent other than speech.
Aqualung
Shrink me!
And doesn't anyone notice that 'the haves' have themselves a feeding frenzy on 'the have nots?' It's an inherited disease. Actually it's not a disease, it's just how small we all are, and how little, really wee care and care not. So enlighten me and tell me this more for humanity than for art's sake. 'Cause art's sake seems to be more for the profit of a few 'chosen' individuals. Like I believe 'this one' is any different than the rest..yet somehow I do believe that he might somehow make a difference. And I did see Charlie recently, and it seems he's fit as a fiddle as he should be. Yet you never know, he might be just 'looking good' for a camera..and he might not even tell his doctor the truth. Can't even imagine the tremendous stress on him or a President. So there you go..little Charlie Gibson is like a Russert..or that man we once respected to tell us the rest of the story. Yet 'The Rest of The Story' seems like something 'they' are not allowed to tell. So 'they' hold their breath.
And if I weren't read, I wouldn't be erased! So, what of this man and his tiny creature features? I'm still searching for 'the truth' and so far I haven't found out much, except for some 'creative marketing' for a nice exhibit. And I never did say he wasn't handsome and talented and probably more than we know. He might even be 'on the cusp' of some new creation. Just like this.
Why are 'Html code and links' not allowed? And why do 'you' apologize for this, and call it an inconvenience? Got some new fangled 'language' or somethin'? Or don't have no respect for the past? Just curious, or odd, or meaningless really. Yet, the truth here is yet to be told. And this is so much speculation..'About this man and his tools.' You can build a 2 story magnification device, and yet those 'talk show' hosts on those major networks can't even find a 5 year old.
MINDBLOWING AND INCREDIBLE!!
FRIEDA!! SHUT THE f**k UP.!!YOU SOUND LIKE A TOTAL REJECT OF SOCIETY. NO ONE CARE ABOUT THE RAMBLING BULLSHIT THAT FALLS OUT OF YOUR MOUTH
that's incredible!~
THIS IS THE COOLEST DUDE. I HOPE HE IS DOING GOOD AND CONTINUES TO USE THIS GIFT THAT GOD GAVE TO HIM APPARENTLLY ALONE
The art is amazing. I hope he finds an honest person to help him navigate through the "class-system" upgrade he is heading into.
this guy is extremely talented, his art is awsome. kuddos
The art is awesome. Frieda is a freak.
ok nice movie
I haven't seen the needle art. My mother knits on four needles. I have seen Feather art and rice art. very tiny Freida was that chick In Peanuts. Now PEAnut paste is poison. Every thing seems like an eppisode of HOUSE. might need an Eppi pen.
I wonder if frieda realizes that no one is reading anything s/he has to say..what a dickhead.
Freida, there's a padded cell with your name on the door.
Thats amazing.
The art is incredble!! I could never see that small even with a magnifying glass! LOL But to see what he's done with proper magnification, boggles the mind. Hats off!! He deserves the kudos and more.
In terms of Freida, who doesn't have the brain power to comprehend that proper names get a Capital first letter, after the first 2 or 3 coments, I just skipped past them and went to the next different respondant. :)
If everyone did the same, He/She/It wouldn't even be seen. Never allow a troll an audience, as they'll just keep posting.
I've seen this man's work before, but it's still just as amazing. I'm glad it was on national news. He deserves the attention.
Freida, People are trying to comment on the amazgig artwork they have seen here..you are filling up the comment space with your comments that have nothing to do with this artwork. Maybe you should start your own "blog" on a different website and let people leave their comments and read others' that are truly interested..no one cares what you have to say at this point.
Is Freida on the right page?
aleatoric art dot com
it is amazing! WOW!! what a gifted person in the world. I saluted you folks..
shut up already freida
Where can I purchase this item, this is beautiful,email address lcretia22@comcast.net
Thank you in advance.
Most amazing friend!! visit us at Confidential Crisis Council International! we love artists and we provide free services..stop and feel free to leave a comment !!congrates on the acclaim your unique art has surely brought to you!!
"being" an attention whore
sorry misspelled
freida shut up with the rambling
stop be an attention whore
eye
You seem to forget, Fakefinder, that though the microscope may magnify the object 500 times, it also magnifies each of his movements 500 times as well. It makes his artwork more visible, not easier.
OMG..frieda..you are INSANE..you ramble on about stuff that does not even make sense..you are disturbed
Freida's nutz. Please go find something constructive to do.
over 878 comments. 800 of them are freida. Get a life.
It SUX !
Hey fakefinder, get a grip. Even with the right tools, this is an incredible feet. Give him some props and go find your gift instead of trying to tear someone else's talent down.
Now try it without the microscope..Seriously, sometimes an artist can sneak by on so-called talent when they have great tools!
If you REALLY WANT to accomplish any task in your life then you need to REALLY FOCUS to do that task. It's all about the burning desire not a weak nor a burnt deisre
DOUG WEB SITE HE IS OUTSTANDING I THINK YOU WILL AGREE IF YOU AGREE PASS THIS ON. MOUTHART. THANKS

Amazing! God's gift is amazing!
what a talent.. He is a genious regardless of his writing or reading skills.. But I dont get what Freida is writing all this comments for?? to look down at good work?? .. u better get a life and start appreciating people when they are better than ur sorry ass.
Soo cool he should try a camel if your a christian you know that would be cool
Did Charles really say.."Dickens" of a time"?? Charles..Dickens..he he, made ya smile.
Magnifique, mais pour décorer une maison..
amazing!
true artist
that's neat
amazing!
I think Freida is my mother-in-law?
This man is an incredible artist. The skill and dedication he displays is tremendous. Frieda you Suck!!
"Horton Hears A Who", Indeed! Incredible!!
Freida Freida YOU need to get a life! You have more post's on here than a small town has people! The guy does GREAT work, try to be happy for "someone"..anyone..maybe yourself one day
Freida Freida YOU need to get a life! You have more post's on here than a smal town has people! The guy does GREAT work, try to be happy for "someone"..anyone..maybe yourself one day
freida take a chill pill.. hahaha
WOW!! that is absoultely crazy but to put that much detail into something that small is incredible. He should be rewarded for being able to do art work that small!
freida, you are going a bit overboard with the comments maybe you should hold off and see what other people have to say.
Very nice! This man took something very negative and turned it into something very positive. Good for him!
that's awesome!
NEED MORE PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD LIKE HIM
Amazing work. Inspiration to anyone, learning-disabled or not.
Brian (a.k.a. Professor Homunculus at MathMojo.com )
Wow! Whether or not reading and writing is a skill this man possesses he has something I don't. I can read and write. I can't do what he does. No reading required. Only observation and appreciation! I'm awed!
Wow when i saw this video i counldn't beleive what i was seeing. I meen that is really coll. 4 stars!
Those of you that have put this man down down should be ashamed of yourselves. You must be people who have NOT had a hard life. Or had someone tell you you'll amount to nothing when you grow up..ect. This amazing man made something of himself, regardless of wether or not he can read and write. At least he chose the road to better himself rather than be like others and wallow in self pity. It infuriates me that people have nothing better to do with their time than put down people. JUDGE YOURSELF!!
play aq every day!!
do you think its right to put him down? his family is probably on here so get a life! live your life-t.i featuring rhianna
you guys should stop puting this amazing artist down (not all of u) but all the haters should back off at the moment and have nice comments. you haters must not have a life. lets praise the moment here and not be jelous. what would Jesus do? take the time and think it
@freida 'Wow.' 'You' 'actually' 'spend' 'time' 'posting' 'on' 'a' 'forum' 'just' 'so' 'you' 'can' 'gain' 'attention.' 'Go' 'away' 'troll.' 'You' 'are' 'not' 'welcome' 'here.' I hope the sarcasm kicks you on the way out.
GOOD FOR HIM!! I love stories like that.. 21 million!!
Having seen the poor Grammar and Spelling of the respondants to this blurb, I am not at all surprised by their disdain of higher education and its remunerations.
loved it and inspired by it. And if you are so lucky to get $20 million for your work .. sweet indeed.
I was fortunate to have visited the UK while his work was on display at the Hard Days Night museum in Liverpool. To view his work thru highly magnified lens was truly an unforgettable experience.
freida, honey, get on some meds you need them.Your obsessing about this. Just go do something amazing yourself. Maybe this fellow is just brilliant getting 20 million dollars for the collection and will share it with some needy people who need to learn to read and write and he could join them and then become a micro surgeon !! Now that would be amazing !
He is a genius!Very talented
How did he have the patience to keep going with this special skill? I wonder how long he will be able to keep going? He truly is an artist.
Frieda, I believe the comment about not being able to read or write was in reference to when he started his art at 5 years of age. He had no other way to express himself other than this art. And even if he can't read or write, he obviously knows how to do math!! It's truly amazing!
How in the hell does he do that!! I am beyond amazed :) Kudos to him. He's good looking too ;)
amazing. awesome.
don't blame teachers- when this guy was in school, no one knew what a "learning disability" was.
he has compensated beautifully through art, and expresses himself through visual means.
Lastly freida, girl , what ARE you babbling about?
Let it go. Enjoy the art. Pontificate elsewhere.
AMAZING..TALENT..AND VERY PATIENT!! I GIVE A 5 STARS!!
Idon't like what they wrote..
WOW. How amazing is this? What an awesome talented man! I hope he gets the recognition that he deserves.
This is a very good example of how the world has come up with many obstacles in life by misdiagnosing problems by coming up with labels that discourage kids and adults from living up to their full potential. My siblings and I were able to rise above our environment by having a strong home and teachers that said, “Yes You Can”. Despite the fact that I'm from New Orleans and a black male, I have obtained 2 master degrees and work in the Technology Industry as a Software Engineer. I recently watch my child prepare for test after test in the gifted program at his middle school. There’s absolutely no creativity being taught at all.
The American school system seem to have lost the creativity fuel that produced, pioneers like Bill Gates and others. I believe that there should be standardized test however the current system of testing produce short term results that affect short term thinking. If our government would fully fund our school system, America would produce perhaps millions of Bill Gates and fewer kids that are just able to past test just to beat their piers to the unemployment lines.
My wife is a Mechanical with a degree in Physics. We’re encouraging my son through science and art by creating solar energy products. We’re also making a very good attempt to win the multi-million prize the white house offered to the individual that creates the next big energy source.
i believe it. and if that man can teach himself to micro sculpt , he can probably now learn to read and write. he has the patience to learn. and about his teachers, you have to realize as a black child that many decades ago i'm sure he was traumatized. fortunately, he used his pain for good. it's not as if teachers are that caring to black children now. especially the boys. way to go mr wigan!
Frieda, may the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits. Or, your Freida eyebrows.
frieda you do not deserve anything in this entire world. i guarantee that you do not have any friends at all and that you will not accomplish anything ever
for all of the people who are bashing this amazing artist and saying that he does not deserve this, what he has done with his life already, i am sure that none of you will accomplish ever. so stop being little jerk offs and just let him get what he deserves.
This is absolutely amazing. If this Gentleman can do this micro art, maybe he could assist the research to do eye
transplants, where the difficulty is attaching nerve ending. If only eye research could meet this wonderfully talented person.
Fantastic work.
I like to watch the oriental man in Las Vegas who writes on rice.
He will give you yours free, even if you don't buy a mounting.
WOW. Nuff said.
What an amazing talent, and what a troubled soul.. he needs someone to help him from getting swindled out of all that money. I hope he enjoys it and he understands money does not bring happiness unless you use it as a tool to do worthwhile things with your life.
With that said, way to go! I think we all ove when someone who has had it rough can get a big break, jerks get them every day why not a man like him. My only advice BE SMART.. help people, there s more joy in giving (not to say he should squander on charities) so just find something worthwhile to do in life..
For "Eic": we get it your a school teacher.. nobody is demonizing teachers, regardless of the factual truths yo have mentioned about the influence parents have on a child before, during and after the school system gets a hold of them.. it is possible for a teacher to utterly traumatize a child.. there are millions of experiences about world wide, its not even a debate.. so chilland have a little empathy. I don't wanna think you are one of those teachers and trying to justify that abusive conduct some (and I stress some) have.
A BIG WOW!! Amazing talent! thank you for sharing this, just the abilty to make people smile, and astonish them is worth more then any amount of money! the fact that you cant read or write, shows the world that anything is possible, So maybe it was a godsend, your teachers did what they did, it was perhaps your destiny to be such an artist!!, you should consider private showings in art galleries.. Now that you have sold your lifes work, will you continue? If this is what pleases you, much happiness and success to you!! AWESOME WORK!! there will always be critics in life, we can only take those with envious comments and become better from it!
What an amazing man. How unfortunate that he was made to feel so "small" by a school teacher. His artistic ability is incredible. I also think it's fantastic that someone recognized his special talent and paid him 20 million. Way to go!! I agree with LittleAngel1198 -- it's very rude to make fun of people who are not educated. Freida, you need to take a chill pill and learn to "play nice."
Freida, what is your problem? Jealous much?
This guy has an extreme and rare talent. If a collector (no one said it was the government!) wants to give him $20 mil for it, then so be it.. it's his choice to sell it and the collector's choice to buy it..for whatever price he wants.
To sit here and put someone down because they don't have 'education' is just rude.
Simply amazing!
wow frieda must be broke or something. why be up set when a very talented man gets paid for doing what no one else can do. great art doesnt come cheap
The guy is apparently autistic, so I say good for him. If he can get 20 million for his collection then good.
Totally awesome! There is perfection in all of us!
$20 mil for his collection. That guy is set for life. Thats great, I love success stories. Good to see an original idea, instead of following the rest of the heard and trying to be a sports hero.
This is very AWSOME =)
JUST INCREDIBLE
He is truly great in his own sense.
I thought this was interesting but I dont think I would want to attempt to try to do this.
WOW!! WOW!! I AM SPEECHLESS TO SAY THE LEAST. WOW!!
If not for the learning disabilities he would be an excellent surgeon. But then maybe that is how God made up for his "disabilities" - with these extraordinary skills.
Amazing! that sums it up.
a dickens of a time..haha..my grandma says that! this is totally awesome! =)
This man is amazing - teachers need to re-think how they treat kids with learning disabilities. He may not know how to read and write but look what HE CAN DO!! He has a lot of ability just not what the teachers wanted.
This is TOTALLY AWESOME ! ! ! !
REMEMBER,DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER. EVERYONE HAS SPECIAL SKILLS, IF ONLY SOMEONE WOULD GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO EXPRESS THEM. THE TEACHERS THAT MADE HIM FEEL SMALL ONLY GAVE HIM THE DETERMINATION TO DO THE IMPOSSIBLE.
This is a major accomplishment, more of a gift really. Stay blessed and create some more beautiful works of art.
When we abandon the notion of limitation we expand the potential of the human condition. As an Educational Consultant/Therapist/Coach I have seen the ravages of limitation and the delight of possibilities realized. We are to view this man's ability as a testimony to the greatness of our human condition. Dyslexia, ADD, ADHD, learning disabilities are labels that call for understanding of learning style and untapped potential, not judgments and preconceived notions of limitation.

WOW! thats all I can say..
I would like to add that this gentalman goes to show, its not important to be told what you can,t do, but to know what you can do and then prove your critics wrong.I have a saying that I came up with."Critics are those who they themselves cannot create, they can only offer critisism of the endevers and talents and creations of outhers,as they themselves have no outher abilities nor talents,Thiers is no tru talent as everyone can be a critic if they,r so inclined".I choose my self to be a careing open minded human being who will leave a positive legecy when I,m gone.
I love it when someone comes along and shows us a new art that expands and amazes our universe.Especialy when its someone whos been told the have an imagined learning problem. I had a speach impedament as a lil, boy, I,m dyslecex and have epilepsi yet I have an 162 i.q., I,v been a welding ironworker, USCG. aircraft mech and now for 29 years a video game,jukebox and pinball tech..whos laughfing now teacher?
Wow.. What an amazing artist he is.. My son to has a learning disorder, I just hope he becomes as creative as this gentleman.. I'm so proud of him..
I really respect this talented man for his ability and patience at work.He deserves the fortune he got.
Simply amazing! Very talented artist!
Way AMAZING!!
Brilliant!
As a teacher, it bothers me that this man felt small. A teacher's job is to make a student feel comfortable so they can learn. I am also an artist..good for him for expressing something about the invisible and finding peace in his practice.
What a wonderful neurosurgeon he would be..what any surgeon would give to have his hands and eyes!
holy crud man
I am thrilled that he got $20 million. He deserves it after being made to feel small. My hat is off to him!
I hope he gets a chance to learn to read and write. It's something one can do at any age, and anyone *can* learn it, if they want to. With the right teacher. And the right desire. Sounds like he has the patience to do it, and if he can't find the right teacher.. he's just not looking. (speaking as a special educator who works with at-risk youth) He just does not sound like a HAPPY person. I'd like to know if he is happier now that he's made that fortune on the sculptures. Amazing though they are.. it would be much sweeter a story if he actually sounded like he liked them. As it is, it seems an expression of his angst. 'course, he's not here to tell me if this is true or not. :-)
freida,
You can also be good at something if you apply yourself. Being jealous of others success will not bring make you a better person, or make you feel better.
for sure freida,s parents were not able to provide anything even near prefection when fredia was made
freida, have you considered that you have some sort of a mental illness? Seriously, consider getting that checked out..
amazing the best story yet
freida - get a life. Your comments have nothing to do with the story and are actually quite boring.
Hello
omg wat the hell thats like totally awesome
freida- please get to the pharmacy- they switched your meds.
This just goes to show that education can be crippling, because without it look what this man did. Of course he wanted to make-up for feeling small and he did, he became a giant of a man, without reading or writing.
(linkback) Wow! or Meh? Needle Sized Art [VOTE] - thriveorfail.com/1cac2
how do i forward a comment i want to share
that is really cool god bless that guy
You were chosen by God to amaze us with your talents.
Many blessings for sharing your brillant talent of inspiration.
WOW !! Amazing work and patience . . . . my goodness. Congratulations on finding something that creative. It proves " don't let someone's opinion of you stop you from achieving ".
"I think I inhaled her." Fantastic!
We all have been given a gift from GOD in which we can support ourselves with. This man has found his gift and is doing very well with it. I just wish all humans could make as much monitarily with their gift as this man,and there would not be anymore hunger or want in the world.
As an orthopedic microsurgeon just retired after 10,00 surgeries treating 25,00 patients since 1981 I find this fascinating, offer my congratulations, and potential collaboration to heal people with the exploration of these options
I once farted into a potato chip bag, sealed it up then took it back to the store and told them something was wrong in that the chips were gone and all that was left was an awful smell..
you are a geniws jajajajajaja
God had a plan for you all along and has blessed you with an amazing gift! Thank you for sharing your gift with the world!
I don't know who you were or what caused your pain as a child but God has blessed us with your work as an audlt, thanks.
What a talented, amazing person you are..and to come up with an idea like this and carry it out is so remarkable! You deserve all that you gain and more.
That is so totally amazing and cool!
Absolutely fascinating! What an incredible artist and entrepreneur! Wonder what is dirt poor teacher is thinking right now??
WOW!! I bet his teacher don't make $20 million
thank you, tommow will be a good day, at the white house, BLESS THE U.S.A. for the next present in the white-house.
boy, he got the last laugh. 20 million!
WOW!! the one on the eye lash was so small. I think he should of been paid more then that for them thouse are one of a kind objects. To even think that you can make an elephant from a grain of sand is something else. Love it.
I have a headache just from watching it on TV, I can't imagine the strain on his eyes! But, absolutely truly amazing. Good for you sir!!
simply unbelievable but amazing
simply unbelievable but amazing
I want to know more about his childhood. Why was he lonely? Why can't he read or write? Teachers made him feel small.. that's just heartbreaking. A reminder to be careful what we say to kids.
willard-wigan.com
What's truly amazing is how many people actually believe this is real.
Love the humor though!
Truly amazing. I hope he'll find joy in his life. With such talent he has the world open to him. I wish him well.
Glad to see there's finally a Doctor or 2 in the house, or rather holding on to this 'thread.'
Talk about splitting hairs. Of course, God is great. There's no other explanation 'cept science..and that's just too, easy to believe.
Really no problem, but for 'The Story' that was so incomplete.
Guess that's what they get 'paid' to do. What is an analyst? They often don't get the credit they deserve, and get 'nicknamed' anal.
VERY BELIEVEABLE. IF U HAVE EVER PUT TOGETHER THE MOVING PARTS IN THE HEAD OF A INTERNAL CARDIAC TRANSDUCER YOU WOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM BELIEVING IT.
how brilliant and inspired..I am in awe of the how resilient this artist is. His work is deeply moving to me, as he stated he was made to feel small and from that he created a response that shouted beauty, beauty, beauty! If this is a scam, I don't care, I want to believe in the power that live within each of us to become ordinary heroes.
Seemingly, this is a test of internet gullability. Physically impossible. This is the 10 email I got on this. Read my earlier comments. Thank goodness for the delete button in email.
SO WHAT I AM RICH TOO
that is great..so he can't read or write thats not the be all end all..this man is gifted..
"Over and out." You know about 'splitting hairs?' I feel like such a moron, but I know I'm not. Does Willard have a health problem, hope not.
Wonderful !!
OH,God has certainly blessed this man! And i declare that this mans health remains excellent from this day forward, that he finds true love in His creator! AMEN
Truly remarkable talent and patience.
And a quick comment with regards to teachers: At some point we all must overcome the injuries of our past. All of us have suffered at the hands of an adult in our lives--be it a teacher, a parent or a priest. At some point, as this extraordinary artist demonstrates, we must be responsible for our own lives. We must determine our paths and work to achieve our goals. Teachers are merely educational guides. We, as individuals are responsible for what we learn.
very good effort
Ain't nothin' like 'software' to make you feel really 'small.'
I'm getting a good 'taste' of 'global warming' tonight. Wonder what Willard thinks 'about that?'
I have a sneaky suspicion (as usual) that this 'Willard' can read and write but prefers to 'invent tools,' in a big world. And, I'm pretty sure, not all of his so-called 'teachers' were all that bad making him feel small, seems to have made him great.
Oh, to prove the theroy on autonomic nerv pikes, ever held a camera with a long zoom ability? see its impossible to hold the shot steady? At this range of microscopicy it would be like holding a camera with 200X zoom and perfectly steady (of course no software to inhance the steadiness of the camera)
Fantastic art and imagination!!
It is physically impossible to have that steady of hand. It is autonomically impossible. Perhaps polymers and a laser beam guided by digital increments as small as sub micron are capable of producing this. I think this is a very clever scam. This did not reveal a single demonstration of the working being done. Neurology science demonstrates very clearly no one could not adapt to making detailed art at the size of a human cell with hand movements alone.
Fantastic Art and imagination!!
Fanastic Art and imagination!!
That is wonderful!What you think you lack in one area God gives you greatness in other areas.I had to show my son who is ADHD that great minds to thinks alike he is good in art and music!Can we all get along just be happy for someone else.Don't throw STONES!! We have enough hate in the world!
That is wonderful!What you think you lack in one area God gives you greatness in other areas.I had to show my son who is ADHD that great minds to thinks alike he is good in art and music!
Meema is an inspiration.
"All 155 Survive Plane Crash"
NOW THAT'S AMAZING!!
Beautiful work! Don't let the Freidas of the world discourage you.
God bless!
PS Freida_ Please mind your manners
If any of you have been to Museum of Jurassic Technologies in L.A.-- weirdest museum ever-- they have an exhibit of micro-sculptures. Does anyone know if that is his work? Just curious.
Gosh this guy can't read nor write..but, he sure does 'talk' pretty, and most of all..'looks' pretty. He might even be exploited if he, truly is dumb. I doubt it. Charlie on the end of a hair, LOL.
So it's true: It's not the size it's what you do with it.
just lucky that's the dumbest comment in of them alland it;s not a hoax
So, what if I do come to believe? To make this man out to be an idiot 'cause he can't read nor write..and duplicates 'stuff' on a rather, extra-ordinary (today) small scale? Reminds me of a bunch of 'Hero's' and James Brown, and Billy Idol, and most of all Mike Oldfield. Don't ask me why? You might get aka/bored.
On a grander scale Charlie sure is big!!
You are so 'write on' Jo..and Dee..equals Jody..equals 'G' 'O' 'D'..why? Can anyone believe that Charlie makes millions of dollars just for reciting 'What' someone else writes while we watch..and that someone (maybe Ringo Starr)..has invested his 'earnings' to promote a man that can't read or write and creates masterpieces only 'cause they are small?
I'm baffled, LOL.
What an amazing man. God Bless you. Beautiful sculptures.
Great work. Who would have thought it possible? Good luck with the rest of your life.
P.S. Frieda You are just too bored.
Just needed, once again, to say something dumb.."through the 'looking glass'." This is quite a 'thread' and I like 'pulling it' along. Seems there are quite a few here that feel that need, and make a comment. Some are pretty darn brave, and one in particular (quite a word)..has no doubt come a long way and was able to express herself. Charlie knows he's brilliant and quite a good-looking talker..and so is the man with the microscope. LOL
this is truly amazing..I'm in complete shock
i can do that
Those school teacher that made him feel inadequate of learning in school work needs too re-think themselves..
What an amazing man, all things dont come from a book some comes from GOD!
Be careful of friends, just believe in yourself, and trust only those you 'feel' do good in your measly, little brain, and remember the ones that have passed, not for their faults..but, for they they 'paid' attention to you.
And I thought only the YE OLD CURIOSITY SHOP in Seattle had the only art on the head of a needle. This is much more topical and cool! Wow..
Go smaller..Dr. Sue.
I rather liked "Green Eggs and Ham" better!!
And, Willard might be a Wizard, but I think it's whomever paid him the 2 million bucks..if he can't read or write, you know there's no way.
It's really, just so darn hard to believe in anything you see and read about these days. Who cares about Global Warming? We all know gas stinks, and probably, more than likely ain't exactly good to be inhaling all that exhaust. I'm pretty sure, by now, at least that Willard is the real deal..Yeah Right!!
I'll still have a hard time believing if I ever see his 'exhibition.' Sure would like to maybe work with him 'in person.' There's something about 'doing it' for youself..get your mind out of that gutter. Reminds me of Emeril, this is 'G' user rated.
AMAZING! It's a god giving talent.. God Bless.
Freida give it up already you need a friend BLA BLA BLA.
Go smaller..
Carole King - Tapestry
Guess, I'd have to sit breathless and patient, to know the truth.
"Judy, Judy, Judy" in quotes, LOL..
Meanwhile back in the jungle how do those little creatures get collards? Hope you know how I'm kidding. I sure am curious as to how Willard paints.
"Hee Haw," was under rated, and I wish they'd catered more to the younger audience, and not just to, the elders. Yet, maybe 'they' did, and I was just a dumb kid. If Willard Wigans ever comes to my 'neck of the woods,' rather than displays I want to see him work.
Willard Wigans in Birmingham. I'd like to meet him just to be sure he is for real!
GOOBER
This 'thread' will no doubt get thin and disappear eventually. So, I hope 'the gas money' went for this..
Judy Collins - "Amazing Grace"
What's amazing is this thread, and what's 'pulling it.' "LOL"..and whomever thought of that abbreviation was either a nut or a simple, minded genius.
Can't believe it.Alsome
no comment
not to take away from his incredible creative talent..this man should also be a surgeon..imagine how many patients would benefit from his talent!
Wow, that is so incredibley amazing!
Beautiful!! So is the artist. What an aura he has! God Bless!
Unless you have 'a buyer'..time for me to sleep.
So, JD, is that 'free encyclopedia' a lot like 'snopes,' or what?
8million seems itsy bitsy steep, or maybe cheap.
Almost time for sleep and hopefully dreams. I've read a bunch of stuff tonight, and this morning. Everything from discovering that Charlie does earn a fortune, and seems his teachers didn't think he would, then he married one..and so the story goes, his middle name says it all. And, then I looked up Higgs Boson: A Ghost in the Machine. So, what did happen to all that gas money?
wow!! i want one! and it was soo funny when he said that he inhailed alice!
"I might have inhaled her", now that is bril-li-ant!
I loved that comment on Alice. It disappeared, "I might have inhaled her."
You inspire me11 You are amazing.
you have a great eye for detail..Wow
If the teachers had been kind to him, maybe he just would have been a type setter.
Guess I'm gonna have to pay the price to go see this for myself. I might be amazed, speaking of which..Charlie doing a comedy routine..is that true? Or was I just imagining things?
he's good
wow, that was amazing.
good for him ,he very special.
This dude not only has talent in art also in slapstick humor, He is hilarious! Very sweet.
Man!! What a guy!! This would trurely be a man a women would want with this much patience. His wife must be happy more ways than one. His work is out of this world. He is very smart to come up with this idea. Good work no GREAT!!
What I notice most in the comments are misspellings and poor grammar. At least Mr. Wigans has a talent to support himself. What do the rest of you have? He is probably a "savant". We need more of them! Talent is dwindling in the USA. Chinese and Japanese can reproduce a pinpoint dot on items they produce by the millions and infringe on our copyrights. Where did we go wrong?? Free trade??
oh wow i have trouble painting a a picture of eyelashes and this guy puts art on them! amazing
The 'eye' of that darn needle is so, darn small most don't get recognized..
Seems rather a 'spotlight' for those who 'pay' the price. There are so many..Hager Twins perform "Gamblin' Man"
I Luv You Williard Wigans..Please share your genius..with my students. I am Luv.. my students need to hear and see you..How would I get in contact with you. I am so happy! I share your genius with everyone I know. You are powerful. And for all your hurt as a child..I'm sorry. God Loves you too.
Peace. 911..educational emergency, we need you, will you come? PLEASE
wow~ i cant belive that you could do that! cou ld you come too hurricane intermidate and show us or teach us jk haha if you need anymore infomation just call the school thanks alot you are amizing.
awesome!!
"I think I inhaled her [Alice]."
All I can think of to say is..WOW! I am blown away.
I think I've knocked my head on that art-ificial, self-perceived 'glass ceiling,' too many times. I feel like such a pinhead, LOL.
There was another artist named Hagop Sandaldjian who did microminiature sculptures inside the eye of a needle. His work was on display at the Museum of Jurassic Technology in Los Angeles.. They were magnificent too!
I am a teacher. I especially appreciate your sharing about your teachers and I want to send an apology on their behalf. Thank you for saying what you did, because it will help me to be Oh, so careful when dealing with each of my students. Kudos, kudos to you!
Wow..
This is amazing and very humbling.
One thing I've learned in this life if "God uses amazing people to do amazing things".
Good for you, you are special
achmed i throw my shoes at you this guy is great
Luv the Sun..in the DARK..HE shall rise again..nothing can keep him from US. The CREATION, from the fiber that fills the air, "I give you life, our Father said. God has assured us their will always be CREATION. The PYRAMIDS were created by black (dark skin men) the SUN..descendent born the Sun of the Earth..our MOTHER AFRICA. WE SHALL RISE AGAIN! GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF ALL THOSE WHO MOCK..IN JEALOUSY..GREED..as your mental be controlled by SATIN. THE PYRAMIDS EYE'S are watching NO WONDER THE 7TH WONDER OF THE WORLD..IT'S ONLY MEANT FOR THOSE WHO UNDERSTAND TRUE WISDOM AND TALENT, GIVEN NATURALLY BY GOD..NOTHING ELSE MATTERS. HIS WILL SHALL BE DONE, AND IN THE END HE WILL SEE YOU AS YOU BELIEVE INSIDE YOU, YOU WILL FIND GOD..in the hands of our FATHER, his image prevailed our destiny..let their be light. What man has destroyed, the Lord has spoken to HIS children..he has come again, can you hear him..I am hear. EDUCATION COMES FROM SURVIVAL AND SURVIORS BELIEVE. PLEASE PRAY TO THE LORD..THOSE IN FEAR..YOU CAN ONLY HEAR IF YOU BELIEVE..I am hear.
GOD'S PEN, "I AM HEAR."
--LUV
Gosh, maybe inhaling Alice should, or is illegal.
Might be better to drink a grocery store wine, or visit ABC?
Meanwhile byuying as many cartons of cigs as you can..It's mor than addiction..
It's down right crazy..
Of course, I can't scroll or toggle up..
Remember you're at their mercy.
Learn those tools and adapt..aand hey, weirdo you've gotta job and leg up.
Gang plank..you know those pirates had a great way of dealing with death.
Just wrap it up like a sardine or a sack..
or these dyas, a flimmsy plastic bag..
Just throw it overboard annd feed it to the sharks.
Meanwhile, better to buy than rent.
Mind boggling!! Certainly unique!
omg i inhaled her Alice come back honey i miss you lol very talented blok
incredible what patience he may be right he is the most patient man in the woorld don
She was gone, she disappeared! ALICE COME BACK!!
I think i inhaled her lmao!!
I have seen this on Ripley's. May I say it is amazing.Check out the man that can do this on a grain of rice it is also amazing.
Just wanted to make one thing perfectly clear..that old, cranky boss man I once-upon-a-time had, was not in fact Art Harris. Just spilling the beans, and splitting hairs..and bending over backwards to please. LOL. The Art I worked for rather killed my spirit for finding good in creating advertising..or rather thought Photoshop was just a craze..and anyway, now he's the expert. Darn EGO.."Let Go My Eggo" and eat blueberries, but only when they are on sale..or in season..otherwise just pay the price 'cause they might just be worth it.
..now look up the word 'eye.'
Look up the word 'needle.'
Amazing Work!
Amazing..Simply amazing
Hmm.. Gotta wonder, maybe he'll hire the teacher as maid or butler.. LOL
This guy is very gifted: I am glad to hear he sold his hard work for a good price.Bet those people aren't looking down on him anymore..Good for him
Wow.I would so hire that guy.God gave him some talent.
Yeah, I'm sorry, too!!
Photoshop is just a tool.
Willard's Mom must've been a seamstress or something more, I think.
..and if Charlie and 'What' had told the 'whole bald truth' there'd be no reason to go see his show. So, maybe this is kinda a subliminal info-mercial.
And, who knows maybe Charlie is an 'investor?' Sure makes you wonder, or at least it does me. Why 'Those Journalist' just have to rely on what is bought and sold. I know they despise that fact, and some take it personally..those are the ones that you have to really look out for..reminds me of EGO and and a boss named ART.
My God is an AWESOME GOD! He continues to give us all talents and sometimes we don't ever use them.. Thank God he did!!
Absolutely BRILLIANT!! Very clever and patient man
amazing just amazing
Hey I ain't mad atcha!! Yes. I am a teacher, and even we can sometimes have small minds! I love the way you turned it around and made it a positive. In hindsight their small mentality was turned into a huge profit for you! Congrats!!
With this much patience he can still learn to read and write. That will just be the icing on the cake for his life now. Some children have patience but need it in return to learn. He can afford to hire someone with patience now, to teach him to read before his life is complete.
Congratulations to this whizz of a man who ignored his teachers and went on to do a miraculous thing with the tiny pinhead or eye of a needle. I cannot even see the eye any more! My teacher in the 10th grade told me that I would never be a nurse because I couldn't pass her chemistry class. Instead, I became a paralegal and was told I should attend college and become a lawyer. Since I had a stroke before my working life was over, I will never know whether I could have accomplished that or not. I say "bravo" to this gentle man who has the patience of Job!
"Oh me of little faith"..go smaller, great Scott..reminds me..Willard was his name, too. Think I'll go look him up.
Just thought of a great name for his 'work,' already trademarked.."Weebles."
To Cwilliams..sometimes people says things just because they can. Our words fall on deaf ears.
Simply and incredibly A M A Z I N G!! Love to see your TALENT and DETAILED ARTWORK. You are an example of incredible patience! We can all learn from that!
well i hate needles i fant i pass out if i see one i carnt stand them but if i need to give blood i will do
wizards arnt a gaint but they carnt read orr write hahahah i think that was funny people
Its really great to see that a person once belittled has chosen to show the world greatness..
Will anyone remember Laura Lane (or just 'W')? Think I fell down a rabbit whole..here!!
LOL
Teachers are just people, forgive me.
Willard is a "giant"
I was abused by TWO elem, teacher's
forth grade was the worse, to many thisgs
he did to me to tell now,
If I could meet hime I would tell hin how much he hert me and ask WHY.
his answer would determain if I would slap him or not
OK,I am a teacher.Sad that so many of you have had bad teacher experiences. Anyone have an inpirational teacher story? I adore my students and pray that I influence them in a positive way. Most of my fellow teachers feel the same way! Beleive me, one doesn't enter this profession to get rich. It is definitely a calling!
That Was amzing! He couldnt read or right but he had enough patience to make a sculpture out of a grain of sand and put it on the head of a needle.(He inhaled Alice in wonderland because she was so small) It is inspiring!
Change ur name too!!
Wow, That was amazing! He inhaled Alice because she was made out of a grain of sand! I know I wouldnt have the paticence to do that! It is un believable he couldnt read or write! I was inspiring!
I was quite interested when I heard about this and it is amazing! m'kay m'kay
I was quite interested when I heard about this and it is amazing!
Thats kool and M'kay!!
he could have made more so that he can earn more money..
Simply Unbelivable
As an educator, whenever I read an article or view a video about someone who has aspired towards (and reached) some successful venture, I am always interested. I am saddened though, when that same person uses this medium as a venue to blame the teachers in his early life for some unresolved (and very much evident) anger. I teach students with exceptional learning needs and to my utmost to reach children that have diverse learning needs. That being said, there are those times that despite my very best effort I do not meet with success; nor does the student. It is a sad fact the schools do not acknowledge all of the major intelligences ; there are many more than (of course) just the three that we teach and assess. In a perfect world, we would not be so rigidly mandated by provincially formulated curriculum. Taking one step back though, it is "Joe Public" that insisted that teachers should be told exactly what to teach as it appears that we seem to lack some collective intuitive conscience when it comes to teaching. It makes me feel undervalued to read so many negative comments from so many people. If you truly knew the pain that teachers feel when they are unable to help a child who is struggling in the school environment, you would understand how hurtful these despairing comments are. Teachers have to have thick skins these days and it is our love of children that keep us strong and focussed on doing the best job with so little public respect. This is an adult man who is still blaming his teachers for his current difficulties with literacy. Perhaps someone should inform him that learning is a pursuit that lasts a lifetime and does not end when one leaves school. The desire to succeed and conquer a goal is 90% intrinsic motivation. This man "dropped the reins" a long time ago. Shame on him for blaming teachers.
shame on his "teachers" .. they should never be let back in the classroom
You ARe something !! God does not make junk !! I am very impressed by your work !!
I've always said there's no sweeter revenge than success. I hope ALL his harrasers see this and understand his genius.
just amazing
Just amazing..Patience truly is a virtue!
Teachers suck and cost me to much in real estate taxes..REVOLT!!
^ Still pretty neat.
I agree, his work is amazing, but lay off the teachers. You don't know what he was like as a student or what his parents are like. There are some kids that you can do absolutely nothing with despite all your best interests and efforts. If there was no parental contribution the teacher's job is twice as hard. He may have just thought the teachers made him feel small..maybe that is how he perseved it for himself. Lord..teachers bend over backward to get good help for kids. But if the parent denies there is a problem (which is the majority of the cases) and you get no support at home AND a child is unwilling to learn or apply themself..how is that a teacher's fault? No one knows the story there so don't make accusations. Hey..if you're reading THIS thank a teacher!!
thank God for people like you!
What a treasure this man is. If we only had 1/8 the talent of this man, we would all be blessed with a beautiful gift.
That is positively hilarious; people are gullible and will buy anything. BELIEVE IT OR NOT!
Shouldn't this guy become surgeon??
I have created a sculpture made from an up-quark, a down-quark, and a higgs boson..but you guys'll never believe me!!
I wish I had thought of that first. Good for you Mr. Wigan!!
good for him. how dare any teacher make him fell small. they have no rite calling themselves teachers. i guess he has the last laugh. he is rich and the people who made him feel small are living on their little pensions.
THE POP-UP WAS BLOCKED TO PROTECT MY SECURITY AS PER MY INTERNET MESSAGE. SORRY,
CHAR
BELATED MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY N.Y.
Amazing! God gave this man a talent that no one else can compete with. I'm happy for him and for all who can see his work.
Amazing! God gave this man a talent that no one else compete with. I'm happy for him and for all who can see his work.
What an amazing man with such an amazing talent.You rose above your obstacles and proved anything is possible.May God continue to bless you
THAT is amazing! He is an incredible artist! Good for him! The world could use more like him.
I just can't leave this 'alone.'
What was 'that line' from "Rainman?" "What kind of Prescription Medications are you taking," or something like that. Seems to me this really doesn't matter anymore..I mean, either it's true or it isn't..rather we 'believe in it or not.' Merry Christmas!
Frieda - what does Katie Couric, Sarah Palin, Nancy Grace or anything else you have to say have to do with this man's incredible art?? Answer: Nothing! Honey, PLEASE, go take your medication!!
Frieda! What in the world are you rambling on about? Go back on your meds for goodness sake!
Let's hope he never sneezes..his whole collection would be gone! What a beautiful talent. He's a true inspiration to everyone.
That's crazy!
come one you jealous small minded people. This man has a gift and is sharing his gift. Lets see you do something this tedious. GREAT JOB!! I love seeing this kind of art around the world. We all should be so gifted!!
Thats crazy how he can do that
I doubt teachers made him feel small. He just needed a sympathy angle for his story. I bet if you go to the schools you will find he probably wasnt the easiest to get along with and had a chip on his shoulder. But the man has got talent.
WOW AMAZING
Hey freida, it seems to me your jealous of a man who is better then you!!He at least uses his talent and time at something that he likes and makes him money!!Were you waste all your time putting people down.Get a job you loser!! We don't need more liberal morons like yourself-potter HEAD!!
support the troops, pay attention livefree or die w3.the randi rhodes show dot com
that' is amazing. HHO is going to blow your mind, it is as hot as the sun,1,00 more combustible then gas and you get it at a cost of 1/2 an amp a/c and any form of water. you tube hho,cars and change the world w
truely amazing, thank you for sharing your gift!
Thanks 'old teacher'..nice to remember, I did have a few really good ones. If this man can't read or write, sure hope he has a few, too..looking out for him and reading all that 'fine print' for him. One of my best teachers was Mrs. Potter, does that make you think of 'Harry' or what?
This man's talent is amazing. Also amazing is the poor spelling, bad punctuation, incorrect usage of words and poor taste in the comments. Especially Frieda (Freida), who can't stick to the topic at hand, should quit monopolizing the comments. What an ego!
Instead of giving up, just try harder..
Reminds me of this 'rainman' dude.
Id does'nt matter..
20 mil omg thats ghey
Good Lord Freida..I believe I am not the only one who thinks you should just give it up!!
What an amazing testimony to the healing and therapeutic value of creating art fron pain. Louise Bourgeouis said it best. " Art is a guarantee of Sanity"
"Nick"..give a dog a gone, What?
You journalists aren't that bad, I guess..it's just your darn greedy bosses and those CEOs that make me what to hurl.
Charlie, sure is a big guy..wonder what he's done in his life other than getting in front of a camera everyday and talking..yet, never really able to tell us what's in his gut other than earning a paycheck?
Seems he has a Rather hard job..and just like Rather, that will eventually inflate his head to the point it might explode.
Wonder if he has a wife or children to feed..wonder if he lives in a mansion and doesn't give to charity..unless of course it's a much needed tax write-off, of course..
Then of course what about old St. Nick? What? Who?
Then just look at that wonderful Bank of America, hiring immigrants, and all that 3pt. legal cripe..just to give someone a credit card..and tell them we'll give you no interest..until next year..then bend over 'cause we're gonna screw you for all you are worth and more..
And never mind all that stuff on the 'inside page' written for lawyers..you really don't want to know.
Meanwhile your government, will take your taxes gladly, and give that money to us, too.
And what Mexico..hey those banks have loved them up to the point like we don't speak English on the telephone anymore..Spanish first, right?
And, the worst part about it is that woman in Kenya and Iraq, and Iran, and Afghanistan can't take their robes off, and speak like a man can.
omg thats amazing!!
Nice work.. maybe he can take some of that 20 million and have somebody teach him how to read and write! :o)
His teachers made him feel like nothing.. Now he can actually buy the school he went to.. I wonder how dumb, the dummies feel who told him he wasn't worth anything. The strength of a Black man at it's finest. Better yet, the strength of humanity at it's finest.
I will rule you all.
"Nick knack patty whack, give a dog a bone"
Just another 'note' reminds me of a Starr..and "It Don't Come Easy"..and when it does look out for a bunch of awful aftermath..
"It's a Wonderful World".."It's A Small World"..
And we're really living in "The Land Of Oz"..on a tiny blue dot..and global warming has nothing to do with protecting it..what matters is, if you do..take care and May someone bless you and this tiny little thing called live..and those darn monstrous things, too..those that believe in some aftermath..
Pretty and pleasing to think that some are 'special' when the truth is that if it were not for you..no matter how small and insignificant you think you may be..you really meant more than you knew..
Go Smaller!!
He in-hailed Alice!! lol oh man!
What? How in the world! AWESOME!
What does 'all that' have to do with 'all this?'
A man with a microscope, you figure it out.
“meanwhile back in the jungle”
Seems we really don’t know how to care, or something.
We’d rather think than do…
I’m first up to bat here, proclaiming that.
Seems Nancy and Katie put their real life love ‘on hold’ while they persued (sp?)
Meanwhile, seems ‘The Media’ would really like Palin to slouch…and guess we won’t be happy ’til she ‘looks and sounds like a man.’
Someday, maybe we’ll have a queen of this land, that believes that life really is worth living….while she will work just as hard as ‘the man’ she won’ t have ‘That Muscle’ that makes him a man.
Just an out instead of an automatic ‘in.’
That creates a thousand or more, and millions of unwanted babies in their pursuit…for pumping that insatiable urge, to procreate, yet…they are just a bunch of bed wetting, little boys.
Sure seems to me like Katie Couric (sp?) and what’s that beautiful blonde ambition named…oh, yeah…Nancy Grace….
Well, anyway they put their life on hold all for a ‘money’ a career that will net them what? A leg up for their kids but what else?
Anything that matters?
Maybe this guy could tell us where all that gas money went?
But, since he can't read or write, we need an interpreter here.
I sure do like to read this thread daily and see the progress coming along nicely, and reading things from "Gentile Ben" (Gentle, maybe?) and Gwen (who knows, maybe she's a movie star!).
Have you ever tatted? Do you know how to make lace? It's really, simply amazing..yet, not..'cause it's really easy.
Never mind me, but I'm starting to miss paragraphs!!
Fready,
You sound jealous!!
But, you know I'm thinkin' maybe they don't 'earn' quite that much..and if they do..what the heck? They 'Rather' remind me of 'ice skaters.'
Dang!
YOU are an amazing man..you did what every man should do..show those ignorant "teachers" who made you feel small how you large you are! God Bless!
Amazing what one is capable of accomplishing! Good for him that his passion and patience paid off!!
This is Amazing ,To bad you would have to have a microscope to own a piece of his work.
How did this become all about freida? Back to the subject, this guy has an amazing talent and I for one am so glad he found an outlet for all his frustrations. Now the whole world can enjoy it!
you are brilliant no other words can say
Absolutely Breath Taking..It just goes to show to never let anyone tell you that you can't do something. Everyone should always reach for the stars and never settle fo less.
This artist deserves his own museum - He's the biggest thing since Salvador Dali.
Remember Freida (Fried eh?) and all you others calling out this guy's money for his art..
Charlie Gibson and all the anchors on TV get $30 to $50 Million a year! and that works out to $310,00.00 per hour when divided by the half hours he's on the air for that 5 days a week. Ditto for U.K. Presenters.
AND We have to sit and watch these elitist people telling us about recession and hard times and how expensive things are !!
Talk about the tail wagging the dog.
In Katmandu, Nepal I have seen a display of grain size art made by an Armenian artist who made the smallest art of celebrities like Charles Chaplin, Marilyn Monroe , Charles De Gaul,Hitler , Churchill and others. Largest of all the work was the size of a rice.He had few students, one that companied him was African from England.
I want to say as people we need to watch the tongue it's a very powerful thing, now this man was told by his teacher that he was worthless
maybe he could fit freida's brain in one of those needle eye's cuz i think it's pretty incredible stuff
Hey Buckaroo510, what the heck are you up to?
Maybe DNA doesn't have much to do with 'All This?'
Leave it to me to 'look back' for something, worried I forgot..So sorry Palin slouched, other than that and looking so small, sitting in front of Charlie..he's a really, big guy..
But, you know those little terrorists aren't nearly so large as 'this journalist.'
So, hopefully we're safe and this Englishman can show his works off..to US..and THEM.
Hey " Achmed " with a name like that
I spit on you..why don't you go back
to where your family came from..
I'm so easily led astray..that's why I'm not so sure of this man's so-called gift. And, Charlie was pretty hard on Palin, and that's a good thing..to know she'd stick to her 'guns' so to speak. Meanwhile, I kinda think the money this guy 'earned' is goin' or 'coming' to the USofA. Probably costs a lot of money to protect those precious, tiny, little works of art.
And, to keep those 'glass slides' spotless.
That 'comment' wasn't mine, obviously! I'm lower case 'f' and the 'e' comes first. And I've tried to keep this more in tune with the 'story line' and at least give a little credit where it's due. Not that I'm always so, good..but meth is no good, and tv might have some redeeming quality..it's just all that advertising they use..and a little of that goes a long, long way. This really is about that guy with a microscope, isn't it?
I think this is an amazing story one question though. After all this time why not learn to read. My uncle taught a man who was over 80 to read and he went on to read. George Dawson not only learned to read he went on to write a book called life is so good. Great Book! Reading is fundamental do it for yourself! Your work is amazing congrats on the pay off it is an inspiring and compelling story.
There are no words to discribe this guys talent. Good things do come out of small packages huh..heh
Just another crack smoking, tv addicted American.. that's what I am!
I think all these 'comments' from freida are stupid. I like the human interest story - it's cool that he can do these tiny things.. but freida needs to stop typing once in a freakin' while!! Why don't you talk about something useful - and STOP using 'quotation' 'marks' on every other f**king word!! It's rediculous!
AMAZING KEEP UP THE GOOD WORKS
This Charles 'dude' is just another 'talker' and there are so many these days..rather makes you dizzy..just like that frozen food in the grocery store..it it all looks so appetizing and seems so inexpensive..that's right it's down right cheap. And here we're talkin' about millions for microns, or less..and everyone's proclaiming it's about 'goodness' or 'the ultimate blessing'..and in another hundred years, our children will look back at this and laugh. God must have better things to do than this.
At least I hope.
Talkin' about getting 'laid' maybe Charlie should run for VP? Just to tone this down I really think this is about 'this story' and not about the artist, right?
Another sign of human capabilities
Get a life and get laid. His teachers were right.
Never should have been conceived?
If it was purely for pleasure.
"Oh, Come Let Us Adore Him"
"All Ye Faithful"
Meanwhile, back in the jungle literally thousands of children are paying with suffering a life that never should have been conceived.
This really is not 'realistic'..in any aspect..to give a guy a bunch of money for 'art' when it could be better used for 'education'..for instance 'preaching' birth control..and 'The Cause and Effect' of all of those methods of Birth Control..and teaching that man, although he is not first..he is not 'last.'
Seems we don't even get to start another 'paragraph' here.
I'd almost like to bring that 'Empire' down..and fling a couple of shoes. What's size got to do with it, everything..more or less. Who the heck is Guzer?
The term is 'Investigative Reporter' that seems less and less these days..considering 'The Web' and 'The Grapevine'..and 'Gossip'..and pretty faces, that get paid to sit in front of a camera 'and talk'..'and tell' the story of the hard work, and the leg work of 'the underling' you know..that person that goes out there and really digs in the soil. I'm still amused, but not yet amazed.
I really don't like to be wrong, but who does? So, until I understand how this 'is possible,' I still believe it's a bunch of bunk..just more 'Hype' for ABC..and those extra-special 'news correspondents' called other words, too..like 'writers' and 'producers,'..and I especially like this one..darn I forgot the word..guess it wasn't as important as 'reporter.'
Love his, not is..a pronoun..not a verb..need to go back to skooly!!
Love is 'English' accent.
Like a message 'from above'..I tried to impress, and obviously failed. But, this isn't about 'ego' is it? It's about recreation..and entirely possible if you don't know the science behind it. And, that's exactly why it still just seems like 'A Story' to me.
And I thought I could stop. Guess I really could, if I wanted to. "It's A Small World" doesn't seem to include 'Alice'..it's another 'production. And, 'this' (I guess) is microscopic, or hopefully 'Reality' or 'Honest to Goodness' truth. It's just that Charlie was so hard on Palin, and so easy on Obama, I guess. Not really. And that's exactly 'the point' and so far I'm still skeptical about these tiny creatures that live in that 'eye of that needle.'
This guy should be doing brain surgery.
I'm impressed.
Glad this artist proved his teacher's wrong. He deserves this recognition and more.
This is so inspiring because it shows that art can encompass a wide array of things..He is so, so talented and now just as rich!! Good for him :)
A Brilliant Artist. I am a professional artist and I stand in awe. I to had trouble learning to read, but ended up with honors degree in fine art. It would be interesting to see this mans work life size somewhere down the road.
I loved his comment of how the teachers made him feel small and like nothing. I also love and admire his refusal to take on that description of himself. Goes to prove the fact that we all can do a lil bit more to improve ourselves. I mean look at this amazing individual. He refused to give up and take on the title that his ignorant teachers tried to place on his life. I pray they have a chance to see this genius at work!
Freida, Who is snopes? Snopes is run by Barbara and David Mikkelson, a California couple who met on the alt.folklore.urban newsgroup.
They are a liberal democratic couple that dig for the 'truth' when it aligns with their agenda and the 'false' when it don't.
What makes them the 'final answer'?
"It's A Small World"
What an amazing man! I am humbled and in awe of his tenacity and depth of spirit.
he deserves his 20 million. what wonderful work.
his patience paid off big time
HOW WONDERFUL-WHAT A RARE TALENT-JUST GOES TO SHOW YOU WHAT A PERSON CAN DO AGAINT THE ODDS
His artwork demonstrates that no one can label the intelligence and genius of another. Only God knows the gifts we each possess..when put to the test we can astonish the world like this gifted artist..doing what others deem impossible because they are the ones with limited scope and imagination..and they lack the ability to manifest there own seemingly impossible dreams..Bravo to you!! You are the Master of your own dreams!! You deserve your reward!!
Just look at those 'screen savers'..the girl with her rear end raised and everything kinda downloaded in the front..and just look at that sweet puppy. Sometimes I think animals are smarter than us. "But Wait There's More"..we are animals!!
FABULOUS!!
Well if that doesn't prove that intelligence isn't seated in the left brain then nothing does. Thank you from all the right brain people who have to put up with being judged as stupid, bad, wrong, irresponsible, etc, by others who simply cannot understand us, (cause left brain still rules the world).
Not only do I love it that you're following your vision to such perfection, (no matter what), I am utterly jazzed that you just got seriously rich. Damn, too cool.. what an inspiration!
Just can't quit, never ever give up, even when others tell you, you should. Looking forward to seeing this guy on the Discovery Channel, or NatGeo, someday!!
AMASING WORK KEEP IT UP
GOD BLESS YOU
WOW THAT IS AMASING. I BET I COULD NEVER DO THAT. I SAY IS THAT PASSIBLE.TOTALLY INSPIERING. INBELIVEABEL. GOD BELSS YOU SIR. WHAT AMASING WORK. KEEP IT UPAND DONT LET THE TEATHERS GET YOU DOWN. IN THE 5TH GRADE I MEET THE WOST TEATHER AND HE FOLLOWED ME UP TO THE 6TH GRADE, BUT IT NEVER GOT ME DOMN.GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
AMAZING! Incredible! Awesome! Very cool!
I would not have the patience for that type of detail work. No wonder the guy is bald, I'd rip my hair out too if I had to constraint on that delicate of art work.
BURRO!
Loved it. Everyone has a talent. Just gotta find it! He's incredible..
like what the heck is someone supposed to do with that. I think its retarted, along with the name on rice- get a real job- I could spend my time doing something better for the world. like planting a tree
may God help freida to know her own mind, that she would be able to make a single embracing statement and be done.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
Teaching is a 'Nobel' Profession. Few, if any, people on the face of this earth are self-made, and learn how to do things all by themselves. Let me be the first to wish Charlie and Nick (reminds me of a Saint this time of year), and this obviously, very patient black man (I'm observant, at least)..and the rest that come here and read this 'thread' sent to me by someone very special in my life..a very merry Christmas, and hopefully a happier new year with less expensive gas, and less war, and starvation, and strife.
I still wonder why I haven't seen this on the news? Seems to be 'A REALLY BIG' story. Sure would be nice instead of listening to how bad everything is, for instance, the economy, bailouts, corrupt politicians, crime and punishment. Still wonder where all of that gas money went. Supply and demand just really doesn't explain it.
Which teachers made you feel small? Not all teachers are out to destroy dreams of their students. Some teachers sacrifice a great deal of their own aspirations for that of their students. I encourage you to go and help those teachers become more inspiring to students or help them leave the profession.
Amazing ,this man has the eye for life and beauty and the God given talent to express it. As for freida, I hope she,s young and maybe she'll have time to learn what life and beauty is all about.
Man You are one talneted Man.
It takes a real talent to do that.
Keep up the good work.
Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, The Courage to change the things I can, and the Wisdom to know the difference.
I'm a peon.
RATHER DISTURBING.
SEEMS WE REALLY DON'T GET MUCH 'WORLD NEWS.'
THAT'S PRETTY AMAZING FOR SOME REASON.
NICK WHAT?
No-see-um
Real smart..and to what benefit to humanity?
Good..double 'O'..what gnat is this generating?
Amazing what God can accomplish through one uneducated man.I would be very proud to own any one of his works.
This is why i tell my daughter that just because you struggle at school does'nt mean that your stupid or God can't do amazing things with you.
Epic, epic work.
Amazing! Eye Opening! Thought Provoking!
sir, you're a f**king genius. reading, writing? hogwash. please keep on, keeping on. you're awesome.
And people thought I had a lot of patience. This guy would blow them away.
Seriously, the stress that man must be under, gives an entirely new meaning to
the phrase: a rough day at the office.
Wow! Absolutely incredible! Too funny that he "inhaled" Alice. That's not a rabbit hole..that's..that's..a..giant..NOSTRIL!! EEKK!! Seriously though, this guy has amazing skills. :D
This man is truly blessed he got his "knowledge from God, not from man".
Al Gore, of course!!
Tools..who invented them?
This was so incredible.There is something new every-day. I hope he can teach others about his skill.
Jim Nabors had the beautiful voice. Funny the things you can find on this internet..like what 'GOMER' really means. We are all different, but really the same..all Pink on the inside, I think. This 'thread' is sure getting stronger, I hope.
Although in the beginning I was skeptical.
It never matters what anyones tells you that you can become. The only things that matters is who you know you are inside. I have children with many learning difficulties and they are all special and unique in different ways. This man is very wonderful. God gave him a very precious gift of self expression and it is beautiful.
You know people rather remind me of ants.
Gomer Pyle..amazing vocalist.
Absolutely inspiring..what a positive mind set.. thank you for sharing this..enjoy your wealth.
UNREAL !!
I little to much time on his hands..
every thing happens for a reason, maybe if the teachers would have taught him to read, he might never had turned to art for his escape from feeling so small. so maybe indirectly the teachers were actually responsible for his talent. that's my oppinion. i'm sticking to it. it's still a great talent. and you really don't have to be educated to make it big. look at Gomer Pyle.
Wigan has no peer!
amazing..
Oh, yeah, teachers are terrible.
Get a life, punks!
I don't believe for one hot second that this dude can't read or write, but it makes a great story to sucker the suckers with, doesn't it, suckers?
No wait, I have one of those. Oh where did it go? Well it's floating around the house somewhere.
Amazing work, never let anyone make you feel small you have done a big thing and I have no doubt you will continue..
God Bless and Keep you
great
Thank you for sharing your unique talent with the world. Now let's take it a step further: thank you for being an example that though your teacher projected her negative opinions, you reached within and brought out some of your best.. and I truly believe that there is so much more to come from you. I wish you continued success!
For not being able to read and write, he is very articulate.
Want to see another talanted dyslexic then go to this web site Astronomy.com blog and look for relativity rap
This artist proves that we are all precious to our Creator.If we are weak in one area He will give us talents in another area. And our talents are all different. That is what makes life so unique and interesting.
Very amazing. So glad you didn't give up on your beliefs. You are truly someone I can be proud of. R U Single?
Absolutly some of the most incredible art I have every seen.In my 75 yrs nothing compares. What an inspiration after some of the garbage that is coming out in this day and age and expects to be called art. May God continue to bless you and add more blessings to your life
How freakishly strange what people do. lol!! very talented man for sure.
He is so talented! So many people have great talent and are so busy working to survive that they never have a chance to perfect it as he has. He is so special and we all get to enjoy his wonderful talent.
OMG! This guy is FREAKING AMAZING! Dude, you rock! I would NEVER have the patience and artistic skills to do that! WOW! =D
simply amazing omg
hi
hello im new
sweet how can he do that its amazing and cool.
sweet how can he do that its amazing and cool o my gosh
You have given me new "HOPE". God gives a few of us a gift as great as yours. Thank you for sharing it with us. I am humbled. God Bless you
INSPIRING! Nothing is impossible!
"I think I inhaled her" haha!
I'm still at step 1.. getting a thread through the eye of a needle. I will continue training with diligence sensei.
You need to look this up, and do a little research..
Soupy Sales - Complete Show 1965
There's just something about 'that microscope.'
AND SALES!!
how is that humanly possible
I'm a professional balloon artist and people think that is a strange art, but this gent takes the microscopic cake!
I am amazed and fascinated and thrilled and can't think of enough verbs to decribe this work.
God really shows his true talents through that man, but then again I thought god hated the blacks when they used to be slaves, I guess he must not really be black, oh well who am I to say who god hates and who he loves, maybe he wants to entertain us and that is why he did that!! I love god regardless of the fact that he hates minoritys, gays, children with cancer and all, it is worth it for this one treasure!! Thank you lord I will see you heaven.
kewlest thing I've seen today! :)
Whoa dude.
Maybe one with a Camel in it, sell that to the school.
:)
I would love to have had him as one of my students. I am now retired, but I know that all students have gifts and can learn. He knew he was truly special and demonstrated the greatest gift-patience.
God Blessed him.
I am amazed with the detail, size, patience and especially his sturdy hand. What an amazing individual - I think we should all learn to over look others opinions and learn to be the best we know we are. Way to Go!!
we are all so very grateful for your wonderful talent ..you truly bloomed where you were planted
I was told by my pastor that God will take a zero and make it an hero this is awesome.
More power to you sir! You are God's most special creation creating for all of us
He should have held out.. I would have given him 21 million dollars.
myhaberdasher.com
He didn't let someone else define him.
He is the teacher.
DNA WAS DISCOVERED WHEN MAN LOOKED CLOSELY AT GOD'S CREATION. MOST OF US JUST LISTEN TO WHAT OTHERS TELL US. THIS MAN DON'T.
YOU ARE AMAZING !! You will be a rich man!
Well done!! The human spirit can not be crushed .. even by the teachers that made him feel small and insignificant. Well done to him!!
What about 'Consumer Reports?'
Didn't mean that to be offensive, just reminded my of a movie called 'Willard,' I think. I think, now I'd rather dream, and I'm almost, pretty sure, that maybe, this guy can do what he said he wanted to.."Go Smaller."
Darn it, now I don't even believe in SNOPES. Who are 'they' anyway, are they 'Gospel?'
Now that's an interesting word, think I'll look it up, then I'll be reading another 'interpretation,' right? Might as well believe in a rat.
WOW, AS AN ARTIST MYSELF AND PERFORMER I WAS AMAZED AT THE QUALITY AND SIZE OF HIS ART!! THIS GUY IS AMAZING AND HAS LOTS OF PATIENCE WITHOUT A DOUBT!! ONE OF A KIND TALENT!! :)
this is absolutely incredible..he deserves the millions he made..I can't believe it..it is too out rageous!! and not being able to read or write..wow!
OK, I admit I was often made a fool of for being so gullible. So, now I overcompensate maybe, just a little bit. If this story is true, and I still wonder, this guy is a "Rainman," with the patience of Jobe (sp?).
Very inspirational. Go for it!
Did he get the $20.M in very small bills?
Willard you touched my heart in this video what an inspiration.
And for you non believers you can check the validity at
snopes.com/or go to Willards website under his name willard-wigan.com as I just did
size does matter
That was truly amazing. And he got paid a grip for it!
He has proved to the world that we all have talents and can be productive in life, body, and spirit. My husband had teachers tell him he would amount to nothing, but with hard work he is an engineer. Never let anyone tell you can't do something or you are worthless, or you are stupid. Do as this man did, prove them wrong.
That's God's art there. He's a tool for producing little bits of Heaven on Earth! xoxo So beautiful.
Now that was thinking big. :)
Absolutely awesome. Makes me feel very very small in my own gifts and talents. Just goes to show that we all have something unique to contribute to society!
dude I whish I could do that!!
Small is more!!
I probably just missed 'All that coverage.' Reminds me of expiration dates and nutritional charts. Guess the media was all wound up getting that 'best man' elected. Of course, he was the only pre-posed logical choice. I do have hope, I'm not a shark, LOL. I just loved that thing about a cage, though!! Meanwhile when is this guys 'needle works' going on display in the good ole' US of A? Of course, I could just search for that on this internet..seems TV is almost obsolete..that's show biz I guess..Advertising sure is cheap. All those underhanded tactics just to get a 'hit'..
You know there's just something about this I don't believe..the art, the work, the time, that checks out..but the way and the means?
I bet his teachers feel smaller than his art!! He has a gift!
Amazing indeed, but more amazing is the variety of coconuts who add comments! To paraphrase the late Roy Sheider, regarding Freida, "We're gonna need a bigger cage."
Good for him! :)
OMG that is an incredible unique talent many people must wish that they could have your talent GOD BLESS YOU
Frieda, you had a ball with this! This is an incredible talent - What do you do in your spare time?
" all things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small.."

Horton Hears a Who: A person's a person, no matter how small.
Love it.
take him off the social security rolls, when they can't read and write, they collect SS.
Excellent- I wish him all the success in the world. He proved everyone that belittled him that he can you can do anything you want if you try hard enough and believe in yourself. God Bless you.
A gift from above, how in the world do you save there,and how many do you have.And your working through a microscope,whats the saying? Seak and you shall find,knock and the door shall open ? Who need to read and right with a gift like yours. Good luck my friend.
But where has Alice gone?
so tell me again..what did he do that some(moron)one paid 20,00,00 dollars for?
I like his interbeauty its handsome and his unique abilities are amazing.
Great job and he deserves his wealth.
Gosh, guess it's scarier to think of those that can 'read and write' and what good they do with all their money.
Charlie Gibson did say "You Won't Believe This!" Wonder though about his clout and ABC and those CEO's..and 'Networks' and while I'm at it..wonder about their nice deep pockets and warm they will be in this season of giving..reminds me of those monkeys on wallstreet..greedy little needy things.
The good lord has a plan for everyone, in his time. Lets just all hope and pray that he has one for Freida. She talks in circles about things that has NOTHING to do with this story. Or as she says, lack of a story. She scares me. May this mans dreams continue to come true.
This is completely amazing. He must have the patience of a saint.
It always amazes me when I see something like this that there are people in this world who do not believe in God. Where else would such brilliance come from?
it's unbelievable!! I would buy one their so amazing!! I can't even see the hole on the needle sometimes and yet he's made complete works of art right there in the hole of a needle!!
it's unbelievable!! I would buy one their so amazing!! I can't even see the hole on the needle sometimes and yet he's made complete works of art right there in the hole of a needle
it's unbelievable!! I would but one their so amazing!! I can't even see the hole on the needle sometimes and yet he's made complete works of art right there in the hole of a needle
Amazing, especially when you look in a microscope to do it, the image is seen backwards and upside down.
a true savant
thank GOD for people like Mr. Wigans
and poo poo on his teachers!
This is an amazing story and I hope that Freida finds something else to do with herself other than comment on this story.
Holy crap!!?
How beautiful. Keep up the gorgeous work. As a a teacher it saddened me to think how a teacher could change the course of your life.
How beautiful. Keep up the gorgeous work. As a a teacher it saddened me to think how a teacher could shange the course of your life.
I actually had tears in my eyes when he said that teachers thought he was inadequate. What an amazing and very patient man. God bless him, that story actually made my day.
Amazing I tell you !! Just amazing.
TO GOD BE THE GLORY!
Amazing,
So glad to see this man turned his feelings of inadequateness into constructive, creative art rather than turning to negative forms of expression.
frieda, you are a real nutcase. you wouldn't understand this talent and what you are looking at, if it smashed you over the head.
frieda, you are a real nutcast. you wouldn't understand this talent and what you are looking at, if it smashed you over the head.
He was made to feel small, as he could neigher read nor write. It just goes to show how brains work so differently. Beautiful work, just beautiful.

"It's what you feel and what you touch"
I stole those words from a eulogy..and they, those words, were never meant literally, I don't believe..so I guess I do..but this story is lacking as so many others are these days just to get hits.
I wonder, is there some 'profit' in that?
A New meaning to "Fine Art"
Restores a vision- many times had-
And hope to dream with an imagination
Only GOD could explain with His Image
Made in the form of an Artist..
Now for the UHF etching process..or __ handing out magnifying glasses to everyone for the inspection of her new eye decoration.. now let's see.. ?
Man got bank!!
And, really I do hope this man does something worthwhile, if nothing more than in his spare time.
Needle sized art..
gosh, what's that worth really? When you really think about it? A particle of a grain of a piece of copper penny..or some alloy? And another worry, if this man doesn't know how to read or write, he doesn't and couldn't know math, so therefore; someone else is gonna take all that money from him.
While I'm at it, you really can't blame teachers..they've got darn near an impossible job. We expect them to take care of every one of their students, which turn-over (reminds me of IRA's except they turn-over every year, automatically)..then some expect them to 'love' each and everyone of those 'little monsters' just like they are one of their own, then what do they get when they do..some furious parent that more than likely is tired and having a bad day..and goes home thinking that 'the teacher' was the bad guy..while they spent their day at some other work..really, though..teachers don't much get the respect they deserve..some of them are in the wrong line of work..but most of them try, the best they can I think..just like those parents that have to go out and work and don't have time to teach their very own children. Well some of them never learned how. How means 'howdy.'
See his amazing website at willard-wigan.com/
You know he really should rest his eyes from time to time. Reading in triple dimensions (or possibly more), could take a toll eventually. Sure hope (if this is true) that he enjoys closing his eyes and dreaming, and listening..and you know what else..enjoying all those other senses, too.
I do believe in babies, and peepers, too!!
TEACHERS NEVER LEARN. THEY ALWAYS JUDGE CHILDREN ACCORDING TO THEIR OWN STANDARDS AND CULTURE. THEIR ACTIONS AND COMMENTS HAVE DESTROYED MANY CHILDREN'S SELF ESTEEM.
MALCOM X FOR ONE.
THIS STORY SHOULD BE REQUIRED AT ALL TEACHERS MEETINGS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY.
Wow..listen..what do you hear? all the senses at work..when 'teachers' fail..never fail yourself..great Inspiration..HI teach
WAY TO GO BIG MAN. IT TAKES A HEART THE SIZE OF TEXAS TO DO THIS TYPE OF JOB. KEEP IT UP!
This is incredible. It doesn't take much does it?
You have no learning disability, you were just *told* that you do and you over came the label! That is one of the biggest reasons we homeschool..too many gold stars, grades, rewards and etc all in the name of learning..too many *educated* people dumbing down others. Congratualtions on your sucess and God Bless You!
My 8 year old has learning difficulties. I will show her this as an inspiration. I always say we all have a talent, and we only have to tap into it. This is amazing!
I am thoroughly speechless.
What's amazing is that we don't know the rest of this story..what ever happened to Paul Harvey?
That is amazing!!
jeeze.
that guys amazing! ><
and i can hardly make a clay person in art class ><
xD
SOO GOODD !! >O<
WOW! Amazing!
What patience this artist must have to do such beautiful but small objects. God bless you, you must be proud of yourself.
Dyslexia and ADD..
Now there's something I really don't believe in!
Impressive. Good for him!
His ability to turn a negitive into a positive is what I find most amazing. I hope he takes his money and gets an education. It is obvious that he is very talented. Just think what he could do with some readin', rightin' and rithmatic'! Blessings to all..
Fantastic! Truly inspirational. Allows
me to think nothing is impossible.
"I think I inhaled her." LOL
If he can not read or right, then how does he know how to operate the microscope? If he has this ability, he can do many more things.
This is great!
The work put forth by this man is awesome, some of the comments are unbelieveable:-(. I'm wondering if any of the ill wishers are "EDUCATORS" they sorta sound like the ones from his early education! Continued success. PEACE
It is a fantastic job.Lets give good wishes to that guy
Jim said on Nov 18 (12:12) that this is fake. He needs to learn about Snopes.com or Truth or fiction.com. This is a true story, my mis-informed friend..

Very wonderful way to show that, even when those in the world criticize us, we can use what God has given us to do the best we can with that talent. He stayed true to who he knew he was, and was blessed. Best spent money in the world; better than that amount of money going to a sport figure, etc. God bless him always. My 7 yr old granddaughter is laughed at in school because she has dyslexia and ADD. Kids call her stupid, but she is a genius in other areas such as loving others and art work, etc. Hopefully, she will apply her talents as this gentleman has.

I thought I had patience.
You have mastered the word patience!!
Sweet! I wonder if he'll do a life-size sculpture of my penis?
It's amazing and true! Go to the Snopes website and search for Willard Wigan.
God work is always amazing, and real. So created, anything is possible. Only GOD. Thanks for sharing that Blessing.
I'm still crying, unbelievable
This time it didn't help him to read or write. His natural ability gifted him.
This is a gift from God to him. Bless him and his works of Art.
I still say that 'This Story' is incomplete..without fact and substance. Like how did this 'dude' learn how to use the microscope, and who paid the millions of bucks? I never said I wasn't jealous.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Your comment was no 'uglier' that mine. Do you really want to hurt me to make yourself feel better? Guess I did, so I should talk, right? So, go ahead of me.
P.S. THOSE COMMENTS BY FREIDA ARE TOTALLY UGLY AND JEALOUSY COMES OUT OF THE NOSTRILS. THE MAN IS TOTALLY GIFTED.WONDERFUL TALENT MUCH BETTER THAN PICASSO THAT SAT HIS BIG BUTT WITH PAINT AND SOLD IT FOR MILLIONS. THIS IS ART AND TALENT.
Totally amazing !! Praise YAH, I am so happy for this wonderful man that creates art out of nothing, yet he himself continues to be humbled, and he is gorgeous too. More blessing to and for him.
semi-intelligent..very creative!!
But, what's the point? Reminds me of 'that needle.' Nothing is not impossible, but where there's a will there's a way. Some of that stuff we see, and hear, and 'READ ALL ABOUT IT'..is really good..like Tata Nano's and such.
Finally feedback!!
I want details, I want facts, and seems all we have here is a story..so far.
Anything isn't possible.
wonder if his thing would fit in there too
unbelievable !
Ther must be a use for his skill in the
computer or defense industry. :)
This is truly amazing. And who or what is this Freaka or Freida who keeps putting comments on? Just what are you smoking or inhaling, girl? Your comments are so far out in space as to be senseless.
Dude should become a brain surgeon
This man is amazing..I am so impressed..As with me, his teachers did not do their job and try harder to teach..In my case I was not from a "favored" family in a small town, therefore teachers would think I'm not worth any extra effort. After a lifetime of struggle,earning an education through hard work..I too have become accomplished in my life..Congrats to the man in this story for believing in himself..he deserves our praise..but please remember..there are hundreds of thousands of people with learning disabilities..I wish we cared for them as much as the accomplished man in this story..accomplishment shouldnt be a requirement for caring..
you are a somebody , not a nobody, never let people put you down,your amazing.your work is great,god bless
Thats amazing, but how did he figure he could do that in the first place, I mean, what is he using to sculpt such small details? I just don't get it, but way cool. Good for him. There's always something someone hasn't thought of. Hmm..now, let's see..
WHAT A GREAT WAY TO GET EVEN WITH THE TEACHERS WHO MADE HIM FEEL SO SMALL!! HOPEFULLY, THEY LEARNED SOMETHING!!
hats off to him!
WOW ! That's Magnificient.
God Bless Him. If we could all have even just a small portion of his patience.
the AP would have been all over this, if it was real, or news, right? Darn it though, I really want to believe, I just want proof, and backup.. and a few good men and women, too. Of course, we now have a new family in that great big castle called the white house, and seems now they call it the 'peoples' house'..an appropriate title, yet lacking in substance..a great big house, with a great big budget, with lots of servants, and those that live within call themselves the same word. Just takes a whole lotta education to be able to forgive them, I guess..or just pure and simple faith that doesn't cost a cent..meanwhile back in the jungle. Wonder what these guys know about math..the one reporting this story and the one that is the story..while it seems to me, they are just men and the rest of us are mothers.
How much of what they take, is donated to charity, and how much that is donated to charity, is just
TAKEN AWAY..AND STUFFED INSIDE A POCKET INSTEAD OF GIVEN AWAY..
Reminds me of Al Gore. Didn't he invent the internet? And, we all know he's a scientist, right? All I can say, is that he was pre-posed to be the bully, once upon a time..what was the reason behind that?..Kinda like this 'Needle Art' like, what are we supposed to believe?
LOL
Just a bunch of nonsense really, whatever makes you happy..
The pursuit of happiness is all we were promised, right?
Meanwhile Katy and Palin are, really cute..that's a fact.
i just wept with emotion for all the wonderful, so called under educated folks of this overeducated world
THIS SHOWS THAT THE HUMAN MIND CAN CREATE AND DO ANYTHING IT PUTS ITSELF TO,SORT OF SPEAK..AMAZING..
dang.. that is pretty awesome.. it is so incredible how you can make something soo tiny
Amazing !!
WOW!!
AWESOME MACRO ART !!
I, as all of the commentors are, am amazed. But the part I can't get past is how steady his hands must be to be able to work in such tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny mediums. I couldn't hold onto the eyelash let alone put something on it!
This is amazing, and and the teachers that made him feel small aren't teachers at all. Wow he is incredible
Maybe he is a Surgeon..maybe he meant 'something else' when he said he didn't know how to read or write..maybe that just wasn't his specialty, or forte..words really don't mean much anyway, right?
this is incrediable
this is great. i can't imagine.
What an incredibly beautiful person. So talented and gifted.
I'm so happy for him. I am sorry that he felt badly about himself in school. I wish our educational system was better adapted to truly acknowledge that people are different and that everyone does have unique talents.
He should be a Surgeon
WOW!@#$%--SO COOL THAT HE FOUND 'HIS ' WAY TO EXCEED OTHERS LOWER EXPECTATIONS OF HIM! THUS PROVING WE ARE SO MUCH MORE THEN WHAT 'OTHERS' SAY OR THINK WE ARE!!
Absolutely right, this serves no purpose, right?
I rather think, or would rather think that it does.
The pursuit of happiness, rather than being a 'handy man.
How the heck do you get through life without reading or writing..guess he had a lot of good friends..or this is a hoax.
this just proves people are idiots
I believe this guy took the song "It's a small world a little tiny bit too seriously."
:) thats so cool! i love your video! thats amamzing!
la la la! soo cool!
:):):):):):):)
:)
i love your video! thats amazing! :)
wish I COULD SEE THAT GOOD
well done, son!
This man is truly gifted and I hope he has a wonderful life. God has blessed him where othes put him down. As for the comments of other people (you just can't be jealous without showing it can you?) If you don't believe it then don't comment.
What can someone say to a person with such great talents?
Interesting but not what I'd consider as Art. And the fool who paid 20 mil for it, well there's one born every minute. This art is like looking for fly crap in the pepper bowl. If it's hardly discernible it ain't there.
For Pete's sake, it's not what you see..it's what you feel and touch..of course this is 'Visual Art,' though.
We are all given a special gift and many of us, in the face of adversity, have to dig deep to find it. Mr Wigans has not only found his gift but has excelled at it!
BRAVO! BRAVO! .. STANDING OVATION !!
he should be a plastic surgeon!!
to see is to belive
Phenomenal, just beautiful work! Good for him and I hope someone is telling him all these great comments, Take that teacher that made him feel "small". WHO'S LAUGHING NOW?
just incredible!
Cool Art Work
What a job ! He needs to apply that skill to the medical field for nanotech knowledgelogy /God Bless .
You are the greatest!
OK, I'm starting to believe in his 'Dynamic Visual Acuity,' but how does he paint them?
Imagine what he could do for the medical field. Time will only tell!
This goes to show you that people that belittle others look back and can kick themselves. This man was belittled as a child and now he can say that he has more money than those who picked on him as a kid. People may not be better than someone at one point in time but they will conquer all in the long run. Perfectly amazing!!
I think I inhaled her. He he he. Could you imagine how your eyes and back would feel after doing something like that?
This only goes to prove that everyone can make a positive contribution to society regardless of our "apparent" handicaps. In his solitude, he created something very special that may benefit many others who may feel "inadequate. I would say "GOD BLESS" but he already has. Congratulations!! Keep up the good work.
It just goes to show, that an artist will always rise above, no matter what adversity comes his or her way. Always.
Incredible.. just incredible!
I can't beleive it can you
an amazing man
"It struck "Alice In Wonderland."
That was my favorite 'line.'
"Oh, Can't You See?"
If these little wonders weren't 'colored' I might have believed a bit longer.
Now I know, of course, someone is gonna think I'm racist.
Unfrigin' believable!
WOW that is some work it is great!!
A very talented man but not the first. My father's photo engraver, using a large headed pin, successfully engraved the Lord's Prayer upon its surface. It should be noted that he did not have the advantage of motorized or electronic devices to help him and used only a magnifying glass and a hand engraving tool. This was done in the early 1930's and I understand that he was not the first person to do this.

That's something.
There are more videos on you tube I just watched. One is 6 minutes long and he describes how he does it. HE HAS TO DO IT BETWEEN HEARTBEATS so the pulse doesn't mess him up~~ This is a miracle we are observing I think!! HE Has Dyslexia he said and is going to donate a bunch of money to help with it to a charity. What a angel man!
AAHH, He is just Lucky. That's All
Absolutely amazing!! He deserves every
$!!
What a poignant story and an amazing talent. The beauty that can come of pain is very inspirational, though some have accomplished great things because they had an ideal childhood(like Bill Gates). I hope all of his teachers and anyone else who made him feel small and insignificant sees what he has become despite the obstacles they placed before him. He deserves every penny that he was offered by the art collector.
A lot of people on here ONLY mentioned God as the one who provided this gift to the world. But I think things are evened out by the fact that God didn't spare him the pain he suffered throughout his life before the art. So Mr. Wiggan can spend his money any way he wants--he's the one who suffered for it. Funny how 'God' only seems to show up for His Praise AFTER we've struggled to make something of our lives. Where was he when this man was a frightened and abused boy? Yeah, silence on that one, right?
Good for you, sir, you've finally found some justice in life, all on your own terms.

Charlie Gibson raised his colors of arrogance and political bias with the interview of Sarah Palin.
ANY other person to introduce Mr. Wigan would be better.
Truly amazing -- We have talent
He proves a point that others have written about and I totally agree with: that true intelligence can never be measured by a school 'test.' Whatever this artist decides to do with his God given talent will inspire others to pursue their dreams. Whether he decides to go smaller or bigger with his art, he has proven that genius is within ourselves and up to ourselves to bring it forth.
Great artist! It's sad how bad teachers can make you feel small, and those feelings coupled with a disrupted childhood is not a good combination. Thank God this artist was strong enough to conquer both and those feelings that ruin so many lives.
Wow, I thought I had patience. Impressive, both the art and the man.
Bothers me that teachers can do such harm with a comment. Great that he rose above. Ontario Canada
God Bless the man..
That made this art..
He proved to ALL..
Illeriate IS smart!
God Bless the man
That made this art
He proved to ALL
Illeriate IS smart!
Keep up the good work, and by the way can you lend me a few thousand dollars ..please ??
I love it I think you have showed your talent God has given you a big talent to create the smallest thing in this world which can only be God's talents.
He has been tested while working and it sems he can control his heartbeat tempo so that his hand does not shake even microscopically,amazing..
All things are possible in his name.
He said all things are possible in his name
WOW.. is it believable, truely impressed! And what a gorgeous man.
to see is to believe?
I have a question. What was his life's work?
I just had to add that for good measure. Alton Brown is Hot, Hot, Hot!!
Hey, but I still do believe!!
That is I believe in Semi-Homemade!!
CNN is turning into the new SNL, and Hugh Downs even needs to eat.
WOW what a gift from GOD bless his hands and his ideas for being able to dream this up and make 20mil. Tell his teachers eat your hearts out..Awesome..kudos to him
Fabulous!
Talk about feeling minute..
