Isaac Cordal: Elusive miniature scultpures in our streets

Isaac Cordal is a sculpture artist from Galicia. His miniature sculptures can be found all over Europe in gutters, on roof tops, walking out of tiny drains and other unassuming locations.  Now that you know they might be there, look again and seek them out.

Bolin is famous for his series of artwork, "Hiding in the city,” where he paints himself into the background of various notable locations in China, France, Italy and New York.
