When we were in Alabama, I questioned my nephew Daniel about his recent decision to sell off his Star Wars memorabilia, which he’s had for two thousand years.
“All of it?” I asked. “You’re not keeping anything for yourself?”
And my sister said, “Not all people hold on to their Barbies forever.”
Whatevs.
This did remind me, however, of an art/photography site I found (via Plastic Animal A Day). The site is The Little People Project. [ETA 2022: The link for that site no longer works.] The artist takes tiny people (e.g., those used as part of train sets), sometimes alters or enhances them, stages them in public settings, photographs them, then leaves them in place “to encourage city-dwellers to be more aware of their surroundings.” Check out the gallery and the blog for photos of this street art, and tell me you wouldn’t have a hard time leaving those little people behind.
Star Wars figures aren’t little people, they are COLLECTORS ITEMS! ;0)
I think you’ve merged separate ideas from what I’ve said, but throw some unicorns into your mix and we’ll call it a day.
.. and ACTION FIGURES!
See above.
The little people artist is kind of dark and twisted. I like it. While I like the idea of leaving them to be found by others, I’m not sure I actually could do it.
They are a little dark, I agree.
I guess I missed that, you STILL have those Barbie dolls you played with as a child?
Every single one of them. Plus lots more.
