They would also go swimmingly with Derek Zoolander’s center.
Artist Lorraine Loots, 29, is based in Cape Town, South Africa, and she makes paintings for ants.
Her series 365 Paintings for Ants started as a side project after Loots took a business course for artists and decided she didn't want to pursue that career anymore.
But she still wanted to paint, so she allotted herself an hour a day to do so. Since the only thing she could finish in that time was a miniature, the idea spawned.

The paper is a 10-centimeter square, and each miniature can take her between three and seven hours.
As the project started rolling in 2013, people started asking her what she was going to do with paintings so small, and so she started saying they're for ants.
"I guess I’ve always wanted to find a way to document things," she says in a video made about the project. "This just gives me a way to put something down and make a mark on each day."
