@bogoio how was his comment spam? It was simply an opion..I swear its FLAGGOTS like you that most likely have a face full of acne with gross yellow decaying teeth.. HOMO
God bless him!!!! He has talent to rival the Great Masters. It is miraculous that if he didn't have dislexia, he would have never found this talent. I would also love to meet his mother. She shaped him, the same way that he is shaping these beautiful works of art. Would love to meet both of them. ~~~ Willard, you glorify God with what you do. All the best to you.
I'm sure you're kidding. He doesn't have to be good at public speaking. His works speak loudly and clearly. And at $70,000 and up for a piece? I hear him!
there doesnt need to be a point.. he's creating something fascinating and very unique, just for the hell of it ..and even better he's managed to make a living for himself doing it!
why do any artists make stuff? probably because some of us like or need to express ourselves and our thoughts creatively.
@mrlowdangle There is a point. He said it himself. When he was in school, the teacher used to make him feel small because he had dyslexia. He wants to show that something that is so small can still be substantial.
This is an extraordinary human being, let's please try to see beyond race.
When it comes to living human beings on Earth Mr. Wigan is a gem, the cream of the crop, and he should be upheld with absolute respect. We should all be proud that a human being can possess such extraordinary talent and creativity.
we have a large number of r.acist individuals who targeted this video .they monitor it closely as soon as youtube fixes it they come back and rate down every comment
This is one amazing guy. (Although the cynic in me wonders if it isn't just a bit of photoshop manipulation. I'm prepared to take it as genuine though.)
Love the hulk one!
As for the racists below: you fail at life. Try harder.
There are only a few people in the world that completely astound me and who seem to act beyond the capability of human capacity and he is one of them.
"I wanted to create movement in the eye of a needle."
Most of his work doesn't stay together with glue, but with its own friction. This guy is absolutely incredible.
Man Wish I would of thought of that...What an over inflated wannabe artist. Hey I the most amazing shit. Next time Ill take a picture, then smear it on a board. Then I can talk about how My whole life revolved around shit. Then you'll see me on TED. Fuckin cow man
To the person using a program to artificially thumb down my comments in multiples of 11, and seeing it fit to do the same to nice comments on my one and only video: You are being a child. You can't troll me off of Youtube just because I pointed out your little game to everyone.
it is a the youtube algo that was wasn't working properly yesterday.I notice that as well. I couldn't see most of the comments because they had been rated down.I actually assumed that the r.acists had been working overtime but even that was still a lil' too much to be believable.
The comments were rated down because this particular video got bombarded by racist nazis who sent the video to each other and they posted comments with the N word and other vile racist comments, one lady made reference to black people as animals but I reported her and I think its suspended now, but its sad they are so many racists
I highly doubt it was a that much of a coordinated effort. It was probably one jackass with an exploitive program. Look at the comment page. There's no way to uniformly mark down EVERY comment to -16 at once without doing it artificially.
Honestly, its probably some 15 year old troll who thinks racism is funny because it riles people up rather than an actual neo-nazi.
they have been super busy, i was in denial i was thinking there must be tons of r.acists comments in there.I convinced myself that I was being paranoid.I mean at IMDB they target minority movies and spout their venom there as well.There's a bunch of people out there with too many times in their hands.
Well, there he goes again. More good comments downvoted permanently. It probably doesn't take him that much time and effort. Racism and hate is a poor substitute for actual passion. If this actually required a real effort he'd have gotten bored long ago.
The man is amazing. Absolutely incredible. It's going to be a while before I can lift my jaw from the floor! The saddest thing is, he can't read and write. I hope one day he will try again.
I know, it seems to be some sort of exploit or glitch. The comments after it have -22, -33, -44, -55, and -66 ratings. I don't how they were doing it, but its obviously someone trolling.
Don't know how they're doing it, but 4 days ago, its likely this video just barely had a thousand views, much less a thousand people giving a thumbs up to a racist comment.
Ah, I see, they're likely using a program similar to Tube Increaser to artificially change comment ratings. Likely just some idiot looking for random racist comments to thumb up.
Yet it's somewhat interesting that machines can now do this to magnitudes smaller scale. For example, when IBM wrote "IBM" in atoms. Those sculptures are many billions of atoms.
He's a Brummie... thay pride themselves on "naffness" in humour and music etc. (they really do even though a few brilliant bands and comedians have come out of Birmingham) and that's because they're too busy being really fricking awsome people! :D It is uncomfortable isn't it :D
Wow. Why don't they get this into a nanotechnology lab. If he can carve microscopic gold shards imagine what he could help in doing together with scientists!
that is Tremendously Incredible or should I say minutely Imperceptible. He is in his own world on stage reminiscing about his past childhood. Great Work, Genius, maybe he is a Savant.
I respectfully disagree freesk8. Scientist and theorist are predicting machines on a molecular level that will aid the human race (nanotechnology). I,m betting the US government is interested in this guy or at least his knowledge.
This guy is not operating NEAR the molecular level.
What he is doing is wonderful, artistic and inspiring, but the scientists are already manipulating atoms with much greater precision at much smaller dimensions.

Willard Wigan,from my hometown Birmingham. Suffere(s)d from learning difficulties. The brummie accent probably doesn't help:) Amazing artist! Love the chap.
You see these in the papers from time to time and think it's gimmicky and rather silly. But to hear him talk about them and what goes into their creation really makes you appreciate h
What a cool dude. Inspiring.
