The brilliant London street artist/photographer Slinkachu has been crafting tiny tableaus since 2006. He creates the works using miniature people and props, and then places them in public places -- all documented with his own photos. He also edits a cool art blog called "Beautiful Vandalism." Several books of the artist's works are available including the newest, Global Model Village, released in September by Blue Rider Press. Slinkachu's current show at London Andipa Gallery (162 Walton Street, London) is up until October 27, but if you can't make over there, check out the shots below.
