This is Tatsuya Tanaka. He is an art director, and he collects 'diorama dolls' - These tiny little people are the ones used by architects when creating models of buildings they are planning, to give a better impression of the finished structure, they also use model trees too.
Tanaka's skill lies in the fact that he takes a regular sized object [e.g. a brush] and re-envisions it as a shower. He creates a miniature tableau with little figures in a tiny bathroom.
Earbuds become hotplates, and a kitchen sponge is a climbing wall.
A Starbucks mug becomes the whole shop, and some memory cards provide grand pianos for a duet
A family picnic under the broccoli, or a school sports day, hurdling over the staples
I love the idea of vacuuming up the icons for the iPhone. And the onion makes a fabulous little pizza oven
A swimming gala in a grill pan, and a child hiding under the tablecloth in the restaurant.
Finally that kitchen sponge again- this time horizontally as a desert compete with camel and palm trees...
...and to cool you down in this sweltering heat, a man waiting for his train in a snowy landscape, created with a white jacket with a metal zip.
This guy is an utter genius imho. He has been posting these miniatures daily since 2011. You can find them all here
