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.

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).
