Today's post is a compilation - I've gathered together photos taken at different times (and even at different times of the year) in different places. Unlike most graffiti and murals, Pixel Street Art is almost invisible - they are tiny and for a quick glance they blend in with the surface, they don't catch the eye. To see them, you need attention - or luck. Some of these works I found on my own, others I looked for specifically after seeing photos on social media. At the end of the post I posted another representative of miniature street art - a small sculpture sitting on a city clock.

I started my Pixel Street Art post with an image of a dog. Can you guess what breed it is? The second piece is an alien. The alien is perfectly camouflaged, you can miss it even if you look at it point-blank. The next character is the Cheshire Cat. This cat lives on Petrogradsky Island, and a little later I met another cat on the Street of Moon Cats on Stone Island.

Some artworks are located at ground level, others, on the contrary, quite high. They often seem to blend in with other elements of the urban environment - architectural details or infrastructure signs. The brain often filters out background information if it's not directly relevant to you - you wouldn't look closely at a sign that contains information for utilities, would you? So it takes a special mindset to look for pixel art. Once I noticed one such art object, I began to notice others.

But the graceful figure that sits on the clock on Kamennoostrovsky Prospekt, I definitely would not have noticed without a clue. Who looks at city clocks nowadays? Everyone is looking much more attentively at their smartphones.
