A Tiny Street Art Project
Little People is one of the most interesting, simple, and somehow engaging street art projects that I have ever seen. An artist who goes by Slinkachu hand paints these tiny figurines of people, and leaves them all over London. Either to be discovered by passersby or never seen again. The figurines are incredibly detailed, considering exactly how small they are.
To get an idea of exactly how tiny the figures are, take a look at the ‘homeless man‘ figure with pennies beside him.
This one’s been sitting in my queue for a little while now, but Photojojo just did a post on it, reminding me that it existed. This happens far too often. Either way, it’s brilliant street art. The kind of thing I’d love to see around town.
We have our own share of beautiful graffiti and street art here in Vancouver, though. There’s the ‘2010 Riot‘ guy, wheatpastes by The Dark, Basco5’s quirky characters, and the person who used to trace shadows in chalk (with dates and times) last summer. Anyone know any other Vancouver street art I’ve missed?

I don’t know if it counts as street art or if it gets points off for being graffiti, but there’s also the Never Forget Dinosaur around Vancouver that you must have seen.

There are a few you’ve missed… there is the person who writes words on the sidewalk in swirly curive writing with bright colours of a paint that looks really viny-esque… there is one outside my old apt building between that vietnamese place and Chris’s, and I’ve seen tons in all sorts of places.
They say things like “history” or “truth” or “logos” or “dreamer”.
Alo there is a guy who posts pictures or portraits of interesting looking people done on white sheets of 8×11.5 paper, done with only black sharpie. I noticed tons of these about a year maybe two ago, and haven’t seen many recently.

Where’s the Repent Sinner guy gone to?
