Miniature Art on the Tip of Pencil by Dalton Ghetti


Many artists have used pencils to create works of art – but Dalton Ghetti creates miniature masterpieces on the tips of pencils.

Dalton, who works as a carpenter, has been making his tiny graphite works for about 25 years. A sculpture of Elvis Presley wearing shades, carved from a single pencil.

The 49-year-old said: “At school I would carve a friend’s name into the wood of a pencil and then give it to them as a present. Later, when I got into sculpture, I would make these huge pieces from things like wood, but decided I wanted to challenge myself by trying to make things as small as possible.

 I experimented sculpting with different materials, such as chalk, but one day I had an eureka moment and decided to carve into the graphite of a pencil”

Dalton uses three basic tools to make his incredible creations – a razor blade, sewing needle and sculpting knife. He even refuses to use a magnifying glass and has never sold any of his work, only given it away to friends. He said: “I use the sewing needle to make holes or dig into the graphite. I scratch and create lines and turn the graphite around slowly in my hand”

The longest Dalton has spent on one piece was two and half years on a pencil with interlinking chains. A standard figure will take several months. He said: “The interlinking chains took the most effort and I was really pleased with it because it’s so intricate people think it must be two pencils”

When Dalton, from Connecticut, USA, first started he would become frustrated when a piece would break before being finished after he had spent months working on it. He said: “It would drive me mad when I would be just a bit too heavy-handed and the pencil’s tip would break. I would get very nervous sometimes, particularly when the piece was almost finished, and then I would make a mistake. I decided to change the way I thought about the work – when I started a new piece my attitude would be ‘well this will break eventually but let’s see how far I get. It helped me break fewer pencils, and although I still do break them, it’s not as often”

Dalton, who is originally from Brazil, has a box full of more than 100 sculptures that have broken while working on them that he affectionately calls ‘the cemetery collection’. He said: “I have quite a few broken pieces so I decided to glue them on pins and into styrofoam for a display case. People might think it’s weird I keep them but they’re still interesting. I worked on them for months so they might be dead now but at one point I gave them life”

“I don’t make any money from it but that’s not what it’s about for me. However, I would love for a gallery owner in England to fly me over to put on a show,” he said

Dalton hollowed out the centre of the wood, then carved the central column of graphite to create this hanging, linked heart

This carving shows a goblet being held by a hand, all carved from one pencil’s graphite

Using the eraser end of a pencil, Dalton created a tiny cross sculpture from the internal graphite

    All hes doing is making it impossible to actually use these pencils for writing, which is their intentional purpose. Because of this waste of pencils you are contributing to global warming, you sir are indeed a criminal.

      lighten up-save your breath for real issues…BP oil spill

    • amberoseinjune says:

      If you notice, many of the pencils are already well used- look at the variety and the use of the erasers. I’ll bet he carves many of them from pencils that would have just been thrown away. And even if he bought tons of whole huge boxes brand new, I think they are of great worth as an art form alone! Probably a better use of pencils than many people use them for- and rather cheap for art utensils! Plus, he boosts the economy by buying pencils! It’s an amazing gift to all of us to see what is possible if you just look at things a little differently!

      • JESS says:

        You are completely right. I applaud your good spirit and insight on this man’s talent-seeing it for what it really is. All those who have wasted their breath continuously pointing out the obvious, and poking fun…I can do nothing but laugh. If you all honestly feel the need to get on your computer each day and reply to comments that you obviously disagree on, instead of keeping to yourself and saving that person a hassle, I feel sorry for you.

    • ChaZZ says:

      Nearly everything we do at this point contributes to global warming, which by the way, is officially called ‘climate change’. For example, you took the time to write your comment here, to do that, you had to turn on your computer, which uses electricity, so, using your logic, you are also a criminal. Just FYI, even recycling relies on many resources to remake products…

    • Ruth says:

      Ummmm…I think he was joking.

    • Amelia says:

      Peter, you do need to lighten up. I would gladly give this person all the small pencils I have had leftover from school if he could carve me a miniature horse, dragon, or dolphin. There are bigger issues than your supposed waste of pencils. Think of the wars, the BP oil spill, starvation, deforestation, etc. Besides a lot of people use mechanical pencils now days and not the kind you need to sharpen.

      • Zeke Krahlin says:

        Amelia emoted: “I would gladly give this person all the small pencils I have had leftover from school if he could carve me a miniature horse, dragon, or dolphin.”

        My god you’re the mother of all cheapskates! What were you in a past life, a slave holder?

    • Cameltoe says:

      LOL @ Peter!

    • Carol says:

      I can’t believe how many people think Peter is serious. It’s a joke, idiots.

      • HopPer says:

        Me too. I already replied to someone suggesting this way up the list and then read all these people who evidently have so little understanding of that kind of humor, that I am saddened, but then I have found mankind does that to me on a regular basis. I have also made joking remarks like that only to get a bunch of people jump on me thinking I was serious and even when I informed them of this, were still upset that I could imagine something so heinous. Some are born without a funny bone.

    • D. J. says:

      To all the replies below – ever heard of sarcasm as praise? Peter obviously has. And, for may part, there is nothing leaden about the work, it’s great art!

    • Theresa says:

      You must be kidding, are you not? I feel very sorry for your abysmal intellect, if you’re not. This is among the greatest use of pencils I can ever imagine. If you want to make noise about wasted wood, then consider disposable chop sticks.

    Fantastic work, but for the record, they are not “normal pencils” they are carpenters pencils. this in no way detracts from the amazing work.

    • HopPer says:

      Some are carpenters pencils, some are not. For those that do not know, a carpenters pencil has a lead that is much bigger and rectangular. Since I have both and a scale in front of me, the carpenters lead is 1/4 x 1/8 inch while a “regular” pencil measures approximately 3/32 inch round. So the carpenters pencil is over twice as wide on the long side and 50% larger on the narrow side than the pencil is round. That would work out to roughly 3 times as much material to work with than the regular pencil. So the picture captions are misleading. Still, the work is beautiful and amazing. I’ve done some miniature things like this before and there is something about settling down to have the patience necessary to work so small and not damage the piece. It brings a calm and peace to my mind. Seeing his work might inspire me to do some more of my own carvings. Thanks for posting this and I hope the artist ends up with sales for some of his work for lots of money.

      PS Graphite (pencil lead) is actually a very good material to carve.

    The pencil with the chain links has my exact birth date on it, and I was born in CT. Pretty cool… Not as cool as the art though.

  69. this is pseudo-art or kitsch. i mean, the guy does small sculptures, pretty small, really really small, so what? that’s not art, that’s just cute or amazingly detailed.

    • Schiphol says:

      Yeah, right. And Jackson Pollack just slung paint onto hundreds of variously sized canvases during his career as what you would call a pseudo-artist or kitschist. And, I mean, that guy Chuck Close just does large portraits, pretty large, really really large, that are just cute or amazingly detailed. So what?

    Great article and amazing guy, though they forgot the ‘why’ of this story, which actually comes from early in his school days, Dalton was often teased for having a big penis. They called him Moby Dick, and Willie Chamberlain, Ghetti Big Spaghetti and just simply Big Penis Dalton, and to compensate for his big penis he decided to be a sculptor of such tiny art people would go, “Well, there’s no way he has a big penis now.”

    Dalton Ghetti, let me address you directly and say that you don’t need to overcompensate with your tiny art for your big penis. It’s completely natural and it’s not about size, it’s about how you use it.

  192. Thats great piece of work..amashing

  194. Wow! Nothing short of amazing. I cant imagine trying to create a chain link out of graphite at such a small scale.
