There's some art you can see this weekend, but you're going to have to go on a quest to find it. Calder Greenwood is a local artist who likes to pepper Los Angeles with paper-mâché art installations. We really enjoyed his giant spider hanging over the Sixth Street Bridge, and now he's got something new. You may recognize these life-size figures from your local Dungeons & Dragons quest. More specifically, you might recognize these adventurers from Gauntlet, the 1985 Atari hack-and-slash dungeon crawl (and our personal favorite game to play at Blispy in K-Town).
To find the figures, you'll have to follow this map.
Greenwood told LAist this is actually the second time his wizard has appeared. The sorcerer initially manifested beneath a Frogtown Bridge.
"I thought he was lonely without fellow travelers, so I made a team of four—a barbarian, valkyrie, wizard and elf—in classic Dungeons & Dragons style," Greenwood said.
The first wizard was also sort of hidden, and Greenwood's hoping some brave souls will embark on his quest and find the foursome.
