Now that the new school semester started, today I got off the train and was walking down Massachusetts Ave in Boston and I see something in the corner of my eye and I look over to the concrete base of a streetlamp down near the sidewalk level and there I see a mosaic of an 8-bit Mega Man! I'm telling you, someone took the time to recreated Mega Man entirely in tile on Mass Ave. I HAD to take a pic.

Man, it just made my day. Knowing I'll be passing by Mega Man every day on my way to class makes commuting a bit more tolerable :)

I'm gonna be keeping my eyes peeled all around that area to see if there are any others. I'll post pics if I do find another.
I really, really want to meet the person who did it and shake their hand.

Haha, that's you! Oh man.. I was there that time that crazy chick was singing at the top of her lungs through out the whole store. Remember that? It was like a month or two ago.

It was me.
Actually it wasn't me.. but that probably was my Dunkin' Donut's turbo coffee on top of it. 8-)

I go to Berklee. I'm usually not there later than 4 though, so how early do you go into work? I hope I run into you. I'll be the chick with the really long hair and the AC/DC messenger bag with a ton of buttons on it. And purple Converse. :)

yknow, I didn't even notice the Dunkin's cup until I uploaded the pic to photobucket. LOL. That goes to show how trash doesn't phase me, having gone to school in Boston for almost 4 years. LMAO

Damn. really? Too bad I missed all that. I was laughing my ass off at that chick. She looked and sounded like Erika Badu after eatting too many super sized happy meals and smoking a blunt or something.

I've actually seen you quite a few times at Virgin, the Coolidge and what have you. I was with the dude buying all the budget barbarian movies trying to get his Virgin card punched for a free 5 dollar movie.
Anyways, I'm sort of going off-topic here. So yeah, maybe I'll be on the look out for random 8-bit era gaming graffiti when I'm dickin' around the city next time.

Reminds me of the Space Invaders Game:
http://www.space-invaders.com/
click on the invader in the middle of the splash screen and then follow the first link to see pictures of invaders from cities all over the world. 8-)
Maybe that's what the Mega Man got inspired by.

I can definitely relate. A few years ago in a small town in Maryland bordering Washington DC and Virginia, I passed a random building which looks to be a long abandoned grocery store with a graffiti mural of few Street Fighter characters.

You should write a note and stick it near the Mega Man pic:
"If you did this, come tell us at DigitPress!"

Yknow...that's a good idea. But then you'd probably have like, 20 people trying to claim it.
