Flunked school but sold his art for 20 million

Willard creates sculptures under a microscope that can fit inside of the head of a pin. His Charlie Chaplin balances perfectly on the end of a eyelash.

But the man can’t read or write! “My teacher made me feel small,” he reports in a YouTube video. “She made me feel like I was nothing. I’m trying to prove that nothing, doesn’t exist,” he says.

Willard’s teacher should rethink the value she places on students with learning disabilities like those Willard suffers from. A collector just bought up Willard’s private stock of his sculptures for USD $20 million. Hah! Good on you, Mr. Willard.
