Do these guys know each other?

Photographer Audrey Heller and street artist Slinkachu have got a pretty similar thing going on....

So similar, in fact, that I'm not sure if I could tell their stuff apart...the difference, though, is in the setting.


Here's a sample of Heller's photos- Figures with backdrops of every-day objects resulting in playfully ironic images.





From her website: “There is something very familiar about the image of being tiny in a giant environment, and something inspiring, as well as humorous, about seeing such serious and industrious workers and explorers take on the daunting tasks that they face.”



Now,  here's Slinkachu:







Slinkachu sticks to scenes from the city- sometimes gritty sometimes banal- images that we associate with city life, ironically captured in miniature. 


I totally dig his blog, too- I wonder if he has trouble picking out a spot for his little dudes....or if they get stolen...
