Miniscule Masterpieces by Karen Libecap

Alabama-based artist Karen Libecap, illustrates adorable, miniature paintings of intimate objects, fuzzy animals, and pop-culture references. Composed in an impossibly tiny frame, Libecap’s hyperrealistic paintings are created from a variety of materials, which include  oil, watercolor, colored pencil, gouache, pen and ink.

Smaller than a coin, the illustrations pay homage to tiny art and big ideas. Using a steady hand and a set of precise tools, the artist navigates through the texture of our favorite furry friends with calculated placed shadows and quick and fine brushstrokes. The luscious mane of our favorite feline, the delicate, fragile body of a baby duck, and the adorable pink tongue of a cat are captured with impressive detail. Although her pieces are meticulously crafted, she admits, “One extra dot on a tiny painting and it no longer looks like them.

Libecap manages to adorn each of her minuscule masterpieces with a variety of shades in a small space and allot each figure its designated features, which impressively resemble the size of a fleck of dirt. You can find her entire collection in her Etsy shop.

“To make this journey, we’ll need imagination, but imagination alone is not enough, because the reality of nature is far more wondrous than anything we can imagine.”

The things going on in my head are worse than the downtown traffic; it’s so loud and there is nowhere to go. I just want a hand to help me cross the street or a shining exit sign to guide me home. The things going on in my heart remind me of stones in my pockets and feet edging against the shore; weighing me down but screaming that I won’t sink if I can just lighten up.

Learning to be shatterproof

I want to be so 

soft that you cannot break me –

                that I slip through your fingers –

                                       that you cannot 

                                                   hold me

                                                   by tightening your grip

WHY DID I EVER DELETE TUMBLR

Tearing the floorboards to hold over our heads.

    I’ve begged too many windows 

        to be doors and asked too many ceilings

            to expose my skin to the sky. 

                 The moment my four corners

                     opened themselves into pointing arrows and

                         directions, I shaped my 

                               destinations to match them.

Hold me down.

         I know you have been 

                feeling like a sideways planet,

                spinning out of your consciousness

         but never leaving your sunburnt orbit.

Hold me down.

                                  My destination is

          the motion blur of our worlds 

     coming to a 

halt.
