 Rating: - Why? They ask me. Why does he do it?Well, it is art and it is very hard to someone to explain the reason why he's an artist don't you think? "Why" was the question several of my colleges at work asked me when I received this little book from Amazon this morning. First they've asked me why does he do it and then, why did I bought it. To the first question I answered that Slinkachu is an artist and this is his art. For the second question I didn't need to answer anything. Just passed the book to their hands and let them see for themselves. I've been following Slinkachu work on the Internet for some time now and when I knew this book was on sale, I just had to bought it. Rating: - A little book that's a lot for the money.An entertaining and extremely interesting form of street art, this little gem will appeal to anyone interested in street art: it's a must if you're a fan of Banksy! Each piece has a shot showing its surroundings as well as a macro shot with its title. You really do empathise with each little figure! I'm sure any student would be happy to add this to his or her collection. Rating: - Brilliant street artThis is a really brilliant idea, and great "little" book. The idea is simple - take small people (1 inch high or so), paint them and put them somewhere, create a story around them, and take close up (macro) shots. throw in some heartfelt life messages, and you have this book. It's a great alternative view on life, and life in London specifically. Recommended. Rating: - ExcellentIt's strange how something like this can be beautiful and hold so much emotion, but I guess that's the whole point of art. Flick through and you're reminded that we're all little people at the end of the day. Slink captures that lost, vulnerable feeling we all get sometimes and then throws in the comic moments too. I first saw "Dreams of packing it all in" when I was trapped in a big corporate and had just been prescribed the happy pills. It now takes pride of place on my self-employed office wall and reminds me of how things used to be. And at this price, cannot we all afford some art in our lives? |
