Panda Painted on Human Hair

To contrast Stevo's post on a giant modern art sculpture near Hampstead, here is something on the opposite end of the scale.

BBC News reports that Jin Yin Hua, a Chinese micro-painter, has painted an image of a giant panda using a single human hair as his canvas. The article says that it took Hua ten days to create the piece with a single rabbit hair for a paint brush. Similar to other forms like cubism, the appeal isn't necessarily found in the end result, but the style and process by which it is made/revealed. Pretty remarkable I'd say.

The article says that it is viewable under a microscope, but doesn't mention where it's being exhibited, other than a 'Chinese gallery.'
