dyslexic art

[Baby02]

Can anyone tell me anything about a dyslexic man who uses cocktail sticks to make things that you can apparently fit in the eye of a needle, my daughter has heard about him in school and there is supposed to be an exhabition on somewhere
TIA

If you ever get the chance to see his exhibition,go. He has to control his breathing while he carves as he could inhale the piece. You don't really appreciate how tiny they are until you view them with a naked eye and then a lens...fantastic!

I saw this fella on tv a couple of weeks ago. His work was unbelievable. I would love to see it for real

This is the sort of stuff that should be worth millions, not Damien Hirst's half sharks etc!
