Just the Tip? Indian 'Pencil Sculpture Artist' Produces Tiny Lead Masterpieces

Description

Indian sculptural artist Kamlesh creates tiny sculptures of Hindu gods painstakingly carved out of pencil lead With neither a microscope nor any complicated tools in sight, Kamlesh uses nothing more than his own eyesight and a simple, pointed instrument to carve intricate miniature sculptures into pencil lead. Kamlesh reportedly began working in this microscopic scale in 2004 as a way of making ends but his career really took off when he created a profile of Lord Ganesha on a rice grain, becoming a local celebrity as a result. Now he performs his work across northern India and children come out in droves to watch as he carves his tiny sculptures.
