Miniatures – Effects of Anxiety

Some people have hobbies to take their minds away from work. They punch out at the factory and go play softball or collect stamps. And then some choose to make their hobby play with people’s minds. Upon first glance, you would probably not find anything amazing about these photos. After all, they look like ordinary every day items…until you realize the painstaking effort it took to create each one, and that they’re all tiny enough to fit in a dollhouse.

The attention to detail in these miniature items are off the charts. I can’t fathom how a person could do this without a shrink ray. Check out more of Kim Saulter’s work here.

I’m going to go on record and say I’ve scoured the Internet for a long time and I was convinced that I couldn’t be amazed anymore. I felt like I’ve seen it all. I was amazed when I saw these miniature renderings of these every day items. In fact, I kept showing my co-workers and talking about it so much that they are annoyed with me now. Kudos, Kim Saulter. You got me.

If there were two things I absolutely loved when I was a kid, it was Lego and Star Wars. So when I saw these incredible miniature photographs by Avanaut of the snow battle on the planet Hoth from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back using only Lego men, memories of my childhood come rushing back in a storm of fanboy nostalgia. The creator of these photographs is Finnish illustrator and designer Vesa Lehtimäki or “Avanaut”. He started making his first Lego pictures set on the snowy planet of Hoth back in 2009 and has slowly been adding more and more over the years. These pictures are even more fitting right now, what with the freezing weather we’ve been having here in the United States and with the new Star Wars movies in the pipeline.
