Abandoning Little People On The Streets Since 2006

I think it was about 5 years ago that I first came across this artist and I have no recollection as to how. Since then I've popped along to his blog every so often and thought I'd share some of my favourites from a certain aspect of his work.

Via the guise Slinkachu, the artist runs The Little People Project. The concept? Creating miniature 'realities' in inner-city areas using model train people. Often these installations will make a comment on society or reflect on everyday incidents in 'real life' and will then be left in place.

Since the little people tend to pop up in London, keep your eyes peeled next time you're making the daily commute - if you take a second to look down you don't know what Little People you might find.
