Insane Pencil Sculptures

Its hard to believe that these intricate sculptures are made by a full sized human - on a pencil. Taiwanese artist Chien Chu Lee carves such detailed works of art inspired by, well, pretty much anything. From pop culture to architectural wonders.

Think of the patience! Such skill and determination. He even carves the alphabet on a 0.5 mm piece of graphite! Those refill pencils are so snappable, its quite a feat that he manages to turn these every day items into sculptures. See more at My Modern Met.
