Urban artists are pixelating the world using art mosaics with 8-bit video game themes. The most of them used characters from Space Invaders (Wikipedia) or similar games such as Axiens, Galaxiens, Galaga, Moon Cresta, etc.
The image above is Q*Bert (Wikipedia). I've been browsing the photos until I found him. I played that game a lot!

Qbert was always my favorite as a kid. I saw one of the Space Invaders gallery shows a couple of years back and have spotted a few of them around LA (I think a few photos are in that flickr group).
