    Mini Microchip Masterpieces
    These miniature masterpieces have been painted on computer microchips - using the artist's own eyelashes.

    Yuri Zupancic, 30, creates the tiny works of art on discarded computer parts that measure no more than one square inch.

    He paints people, insects and flowers onto the chips using remarkably thin paintbrushes made of his own eyelashes.

    The fine points of his brushes allow him to get incredible detail in his work.

    Yuri, who is short-sighted, takes out his contact lenses so he can focus better on his work.

    He said: "My paintings are an attempt to broaden our perspective of modern electronics and to acknowledge their position as extensions of the human mind and human nature.

    "For these miniature works, paint is applied with tiny brushes - some of which I craft by hand using my own eyelashes."

    Yuri, from Kansas, United States, added: "The paintings are visible to the naked eye but the size is usually a square inch or less, so magnifying glasses are supplied at gallery showings."
