They are miniature recreations of the studio space of the artists that he admires. Joe Fig goes into detail about his mini reproductions in his book Inside the Pain...
Showcasing Mike's 1:12 Stick Built Hollow Wall Dollhouse If you’ve visit the Greenleaf forums lately, I’m sure you’ve seen Mike’s post on his stick built, hollow wall custom dollhouse. He also has a blog that he regularly updates as well. I am learning so much on how to build a dollhouse with frames, similar to how you would build a human sized house. And...
