The smallest piece of flat art in the world? That’s what ARmark is claiming of this little guy. He’s 1/8th the width of a strand of hair. The technique is called “nanoentonography,” and the press release claims it was invented by “artist J’Sha”. Googling, however, suggests that J. Sha is in fact a nanotechnology scientist. Making this the smallest piece of outsider art, I suppose.

I'm Michael Condouris, and this is my second blog. The first one's Wacky Neighbor. I was born in 1975 in New Jersey. I live in Aberdeen, NJ, with my fiancée Carrie, in our new suburban paradise. We have two pets, a Shih Tzu named Coco and a beagledor named Zoë. I was on Jeopardy once. I lost, though, just like in the Weird Al song.
Besides Smallistry, my interests include robots, space, movies, movies about robots and/or space, and Mexican restaurants. Recently I've also become fond of the Wii and ancient history. I dislike conversations about food, sports, other people's children, and conspiracy theories. I'm ok with talking about the weather though. My hat size is 7 1/4, and I have no sense of smell.
I've pretty much stopped blogging in the last, oh, 6 months or so, because talking about tiny things got a bit stale and life had a habit of getting in the way. So for the time being, the site will live on as a Twitter feed of whatever floats through my head.

being an artist isn’t a profession that precludes other occupations.

That is very true. However, I’m guessing that the situation here is that they wanted to write a press release that would get them some buzz, so one of the scientists drew a fish on their product. Call me cynical — I still think it’s pretty cool.

Rajbott & condour are both correct. The commercial stuff pays the bills but most creative scientists are artists at heart. this medium just screams art. The press release was mainly a way get allowed to pursue the art. Portraits and landscapes are next. Commissions will also be done

Congratulations on your accomplishment J’Sha! Please keep Smallist up to date on future developments as well.
