Swedish Artist Is ‘Vandalizing’ Streets With His Brilliant Pixel Art, And It Looks Awesome

What is the weirdest thing you have seen on the streets? A person shared that she found half a cell phone while walking down the street. Another said that when he and his friends were playing, they saw a huge snake chilling at the bottom of a pretty large tree. But today, we will share with you something much more special. It was pixel art. Thanks to that brilliant pixel art, the streets have become more entertaining.
Johan Karlgren, who goes by the artistic name Pappas Pärlor, is a Swedish urban artist who came up with this intriguing idea. He creates interactive street pixel art by creating figures with beads and integrating them into urban environments; which makes his surroundings a lot more fun. His creations are extremely amusing to watch as each piece is designed to interact with its surroundings, making them stand out. Here are some of the best of his work. Scroll down to see them for yourself! And upvote for your love.

His characters who swarm the streets are all pixelated, as they are inspired by his passion - old video games. And his pixelated characters are brought to life in the real world. Johan's pixel art may be found on a wide range of items, including traffic signs, pipes, sculptures, fences, and more. They've been cleverly integrated into the operations of those objects, giving them new meaning.
Instead of paint, Karlgren uses a unique medium to create pixelated characters. He makes 8-bit-styled pixel figurines from Perler beads and scatters them around Sweden's streets.
The designer effectively combines the tiny characters with their existing backgrounds to make pixel art more humorous. Placing a flying Superman in a dented handrail gives the impression that the superhero caused the dent. The sight of Mario and Luigi sliding down a drain pipe on a water slide adds a burst of color to an otherwise uninteresting location. The iconic Jaws shark rising from a puddle is a thrilling sight to behold.

Old movies, cartoons, TV Shows, and, of course, older video games serve as sources of inspiration for him. When you look at a handful of his creations, you can see that section plainly!
Karlgren's pixel street art is sure to make everyone grin as they go about their daily lives. These whimsical pixelated figures, inspired by pop culture icons from movies, video games, and cartoon shows, somehow help us escape reality and into their fanciful realm, even if only for a fleeting second. If you wish to bring these beautiful figures into your home, you can purchase these pixel creations. To keep up with the artist's Perler creations, follow him on Instagram.
