Not the first to make hyperrealistic people...

...but I love what he does with scale. The video goes into great detail about the sculpting, mouldmaking and casting processes. Perhaps he could make a Harvey Colossus to stand astride the entrance to Center Camp....

They're a little short to be realistic.

It's not sculpture. It's performance art. They spend years training these elderly midgets how to stand perfectly still.

Actually, they start the training when young, but it takes so long that they become elderly in the process.
