Little People, is a tiny street art project where artist Slinkachu leaves little handpainted people all over London to fend for themselves, and photographs them as he last sees them. This pint sized project made me gasp in delight. Why is anything miniature always so much better than anything lifesized? Slinkachu creates installations of his little people doing wonderful things, ordinary, illegal, even violent things. The project has been going on since August 2006, has received much press, there’s even a book now and you should go through the archives. Enjoy.
Slinkachu also has a project called Inner city snail and the last image is a beauty from there.

What a brilliant idea!
I want to leave a trail of miniature people too.
I saw these photos in a photography book a while ago and had a moment along the lines of, “hot dang! Why didn’t I think of that?! It’s genius!”
beautiful, funny, creative – all at once
madness!

We are having a solo exhibition for Slinkachu in June 2009. You are all welcome to join us.
I’ve seen the book, it’s just gorgeous. I am on the lookout to find one of these miniature people….
PS And I’m so going to the exhibition!
Wow, this is beautiful, thanks for posting about it!
