What is the name of the artist that made people look like matchsticks?

Hi, I believe you mean the famous Salford, (the one in England) artist L S Lowry.

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L._S._Lowry

There's even a song about him, Matchstalk Men And Matchstalk Cats And Dogs by Brian and Michael that went to no. 1 in the UK.
