Not to dilute the amazingness of this art or the artists with a group post, but I can't help thinking 'Hey, that's a lot like....' when I see things.  So here are some of the most amazing artists in miniature that I have come across in the past year or so.  Each takes a very unique approach to interacting with these miniature scenes.  Some of them are set up for globes, some for photography and some for people to stumble upon them on the street.

Walter Martin and Paloma Muñoz's recent works pit miniature people against worlds of ice and snow.  Some seem to be struggling against it and others seem to walk through the whiteness as if in a dream world.

London's slinkachu has been working on his Little People: a tiny street art project and currently has a solo show at the Cosh Gallery and a book out in September.

Adalberto Abbate (previously on the Bean) encapsulates human idiocy and tragedy in miniature.

Thomas Doyle's precariously perched islands of life seem like frozen time inside their glass globes. (previously on the Bean)

Lori Nix often leaves the viewer to question whether they are looking at a photo of a real situation or a construction.  I picked this picture because it was one of the few that was most obvioulsy constructed.  (via Made in England by Gents)
