If there is one thing that I have found during my initial exploration of street art, it is the wondrous variety of subjects, mediums, and even sizes. I suppose I should not be too surprised. Art is all about variety. But, I would have never considered stickers or miniature clay figures a form a street art.
Case in point...a fellow art explorer (to whom I am grateful for sharing) let me borrow a book highlighting the street art of Slinkachu. Slinkachu creates miniature art installations - and I mean miniature, about one to two inches - that he places throughout big cities (London, Barcelona, Amsterdam). He claims that his installations "reflect the loneliness and melancholy of living in a big city." He also is creating a project during which he decorates snails and places them back in their natural environment. Click here to check out some of Slinkachu's work.
