Feb. 20 (UPI) -- An artist from England broke a Guinness World Record when he created a sculpture of a Lego brick roughly the same size as a human white blood cell.
Bournemouth resident David A. Lindon's Lego brick sculpture measures just .02517 millimeters (.00099 inches) by .02184 millimeters (.00086 inches), about four times smaller than the previous record-holder for the smallest handmade sculpture.
The sculpture -- along with two slightly larger Lego bricks he made at the same time -- had to be officially measured by a light microscope by a team at Evident Scientific.
"The challenge to create tiny objects that can't be seen without a microscope is demanding both physically and mentally," Lindon told Guinness World Records. "I have trained myself to slow my breathing and work between the beats of my heart. Even the pulse of my heart beating through my fingers creates too much movement."
He said he does all of his work at night so the vibrations from daytime traffic don't interfere with his work.
