London Police Chief Wayne Leppard on what Paul William Horner, aka Banksy, is being held on.

Global Model Village, the international street art of Slinkachu
I had a super pre-conceived notion about Slinkachu’s street art using tiny models to act out scenes, that it was just going to be clever and superficial and after I read the book I was completely proven wrong. The pieces are subtle and political, well thought out and executed. Really thought-provoking. Check out more of his work here.
This is a really great gift to yourself or someone else…in case you still need ideas.
A reader spotted this in LA, anyone know who the artist is?
UPDATE: It’s definitely not Banksy…any other guesses?

I love it when someone else does the work and puts all the stuff you want to see in one concise slideshow.
