I've always loved those teeny tiny model railway figures since having a few odd ones in my lego set as a kid, and in the early days of BUG POP, made some of my remaining collection into jewellery. Last year, after re-watching the 1960's Gulliver's Travels film, I bought some figures specifically to make my Liliputians Earings.
Slinkachu is an illusive London based street artist, who since 2006, has been re-modelling, re-painting and photographing those model railway figures in tableau form, in urban street settings. A part of his “Little People Project” concept is that the scenarios are then left in place, to be observed, documented or destroyed by passing humans, animals, vehicles and the elements!
I LOVE SLINKACHU!
Go see the full 6 year's worth at Slinkachu's website!
Also well worth a look is his seperate (and hilarious) Inner City Snail project!
