Slinkachu

I found this installation artist/photographer a while ago and still follow him quite a bit. I really like what he does and a lot of it is pretty funny... Slinkachu uses little model people and animals that people are normally used for model train sets. He takes the figurines, paints them, places them in the streets of London and then takes their photo and leaves them for the world to decide their fate. He sometimes returns to the site to see what's happened to the figures and occasionally places another figure in the same place... (like one at a mini ATM.)

Here are some examples of his work...











here's a far away shot...
