Pixel Mosaic Summary

The original article for the pixel mosaics around North Texas has continued to collect sightings, and I think we'll keep putting them there as we go. I figured I'd summarize it all here in a fresh blog post for your (and my) convenience. 

A current map of all the sighted works is below. The green one is where I think the Tri-Force art shown in the CBS news spot is located, but I haven't verified. I need to get down there and see and I'll fix it up then.

Here's a listing of all the pieces reported in so far. I'm just going to assign them a number so I can keep track. The numbers aren't based on location or name or anything. These are all the same pictures over from the comments on the article, and they are hotlinked. Pictures taken by other people are their property, not mine. 

The comments under each piece are just notes I have taken over time. The time stamp data is normally based on using Google Street View and looking to see if an installation was present at the time the Google van drove through.

Thankfully I don't live under those stubby, yet sharp, T-rex arms.

Oh My God!

Hah, I'm glad you did this. I was thinking of connecting the dots to make it look like some witch/demon seal.

Matt, you just won the internet with that.

Bahahahaha! That's awesome!

This shit is totally insane!  I didn't realize there were so many!

Wow there are a lot of these mosaics around your area. I do like how they are placed in random spots, and kinda interesting to see what characters they do next. I do like Matt R's dragon

I'm glad you made a new post. I meant to check back at the old one to see if there were any new sightings but never remembered to. This is so cool!

I wonder if there was anyone living their filing a protest over those things considering them like those "unslightly" advert signs you see dot the lightpoles.

I need to look up to see if there is a news report on this. Kinda left that on the back burner.

When it says "Not Present until (X)" what do you mean? Like it didn't show up until a certain month or it showed up on a certain month? 

Posted on December 21, 2013 12:11 AM

That normally means that it wasn't present when Google took a streetview picture of that location.  The date comes from the streetview time stamp. I just left the info there in case it becomes useful later.

Thanks for stopping by! Let us/me know if you find any more mosaics or if you know any of the artists. I've spoken to two of the people/groups doing these and there's at least one more artist out there.

Thank you! I basically drive past single one of these mosiacs about once a week, so if they keep within the area I will let you know if I see any new ones!

I've been told there are three more in Keller we haven't found... Keep an eye out!
