Slinkachu Show at Cosh Gallery
Slinkachu, the world's favourite little-person street-artist is having a solo show at the Cosh Gallery from today onwards.
The gallery says: GROUND ZERO: Little People in the City is the first solo show from Slinkachu featuring all new works at Cosh Gallery, Soho, this August. Slinkachu has taken street art to a new scale, painstakingly hand-painting tiny characters that live in a world that’s too small for us to always notice beneath our feet.
His street installations are constructed in all sorts of public spaces, the portrayal of little lives that mirror our own. Working in miniature opens up the city landscapes in unexpected ways and this is explored in Ground Zero where he literally brings you down to a new level.
The exhibition is open 28 August - 20 September.

Tokyoplastic New Video
Tokyoplastic are really taking their animation skills further now and are creating longer films. This video, called "Electric Koi" comes in at 8 minutes long and is a good'un. The synopsis: One day, Satsuma, a little girl that lives on an apparently desert island, discovers she's not alone anymore. The new island's resident carries a secret with him that, in the end, will force Satsuma to chose between loyalty and betrayal. Directed by Sam Lanyon-Jones & Andy Cope, also known as Tokyoplastic

Maschinen Krieger Robots
I love them so much I want to cry. Maschinen Krieger (Ma.K) is a universe created by Kow Yokoyama filled with robots and bio-suits that are so detailed (both designs and kit-models) that they became too expensive to manufacture. So whoever owns any originals are sitting on a small goldmine.....
My previous posts on Ma.K HERE & HERE.
See more amazing kits and images HERE.

Dave Kinsey Show At Lazarides Gallery
The show finished a couple days ago and by gum, this artist has progressed over the years. I am really loving his newest stuff and I hope that he continues to kick more and more arse.
See more amazing images of the show HERE.
