I thought the Lego wall street art was an awesome urban installation, but 'Inner City Snail' has got to take the biscuit on name alone.
The artists call it a slow moving street art project. The snail with the parking ticket and the one called John are among my favourites.
When I was little I used to tape numbers on the snails' shells so I could track them around the garden. Inner City Snail is just like a fabulous grown-up version of that!
The artists behind the installation are also those behind the Little People Project which has been featured on Trend Hunter before.
