David A Lindon needed a second go at making his tiny Mickey after losing the first sculpture in his eye.
David A Lindon gets up close to his microscopic sculpture of Mickey Mouse which he has created for Disney’s 100th anniversary Mickey Mouse has been given a microscopic makeover for Disney’s centenary. The figurine, housed in the eye of a needle, has been painstakingly created by David A Lindon to mark the studio’s creation on October 16, 1923. The mouse is usually a larger-than-life character but on this occasion magnification is required to appreciate his big-eared glory.
David finds his work a labour of love but the reaction from viewers makes it worthwhile Working from his home in Bournemouth, he uses materials including Kevlar, carpet fibres, ceramics and even precious metals such as gold and platinum. There’s no sign of Minnie or Pluto yet — but that might change. The micro-artist’s aim is to make a collection of Disney characters for an official exhibition, with display equipment giving viewers a close-up look at his work.
