Along with their art opening last week in London featuring the new "LA" work, pixel art group eBoy released the artwork as a poster in a series of many including Tokyo and New York City.

The piece pictures Los Angeles' pop culture in a micro-condensed two to three block area. No Waldo spottings, but there's plenty of fun to spot inch by inch including a SWAT shoot out, lots of paparazzi and a Segway cruising the gridlocked freeway.

You can purchase it via their website.

You come to LAist because you want independent reporting and trustworthy local information. Our newsroom doesn’t answer to shareholders looking to turn a profit. Instead, we answer to you and our connected community. We are free to tell the full truth, to hold power to account without fear or favor, and to follow facts wherever they lead. Our only loyalty is to our audiences and our mission: to inform, engage, and strengthen our community.

Right now, LAist has lost $1.7M in annual funding due to Congress clawing back money already approved. The support we receive from readers like you will determine how fully our newsroom can continue informing, serving, and strengthening Southern California.
