This is an awesome street art project called ‘Little People’ by artist Slinkachu. On any old street corner in London these tiny people do day-to-day business like post a letter in a letterbox, have a picnic, board a space ship, or withdraw some cash.
But it is only for the sharp-sighted whose eyeballs are alert enough to catch them. These miniatures are so tiny that they look small next to a tooth pick.
If you like what you see, you can also buy the book documenting Slinkachu’s work, titled “Little People in the City: The Street Art of Slinkachu.” It’s a chunky little brick depicting the artist’s photographs of Little People over the past years. I wonder where the pipeline into an old Starbucks paper cup is going to end…
