Bizzarely compelling - By: Chestnut worm, 31 Dec 2008 
Strange, inexplicable, yet weirdly compelling set of images. Some are intensely evocative, capturing perfectly the essence of life experiencesin any city. The lonely wait for the late night bus, the sad wait for a no-show date, the mundane journey home from work. Others are more lighthearted & surreal, like the near fatal pigeon-pooh close shave, & some are definitely sinister. The London setting for many of the pictures gives an added resonance & familiarity if you have ever lived or workedin the city.
Can't explain why or how, but these images are infinitely more than funny pictures of little plastic models. They have a lot to say, & say it succinctly, they are truly disturbing & delightful.
Why? They ask me. Why does he do it? - By: Pedro Rebelo, 06 Oct 2008 Well, it is art & 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 & then, why did I bought it. To the first question I answered that Slinkachu is an artist & this is his art. For the second question I didn't need to answer anything. Just passed the book to their hands & let them see for themselves.
I've been following Slinkachu work on the Internet for some time now & when I knew this book was on sale, I just had to bought it.
A little book that's a lot for the money. - By: J. Grant, 02 Oct 2008 An entertaining & extremely interesting form of street art, this little gem will appeal to anyone interestedin 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.
Brilliant street art - By: N. WISE, 05 Sep 2008 This is a really brilliant idea, & great "little" book. The idea is simple - take small people (1 inch high or so), paint them & put them somewhere, create a story around them, & take close up (macro) shots.
throwin some heartfelt life messages, & you have this book. It's a great alternative view on life, & lifein London specifically.
Recommended.
Excellent - By: J. A. Gwyer, 05 Sep 2008 It's strange how something like this can be beautiful & hold so much emotion, but I guess that's the whole point of art.
Flick through & 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 & then throwsin the comic moments too.
I first saw "Dreams of packing it all in" when I was trappedin a big corporate & had just been prescribed the happy pills. It now takes pride of place on my self-employed office wall & reminds me of how things used to be.
And at this price, cannot we all afford some artin our lives?
