Miniature Artists' Studios

The patience and skill it takes to make a dolls house or miniature is something I've long admired, though I've never had the desire to attempt one myself. Until today, that is, when I saw the miniatures of artists studios created by US artist discovered Joe Fig....

I presume the Pollock and Matisse ones were based on photos, but according to this New York Times article he visited contemporary artists (such as Chuck Close) to interview them and take photos. Unfortunately Fig's website doesn't allow for deeplinking to specific images, so open his Sculpture Gallery page and give it time to load or view it as a slideshow.
