Street art may be technically illegal, but even those who oppose it must admit that some of it is incredibly cool - like this work from Pedro Biz.
Pedro Biz is not like regular graffiti artists; instead of paint, the artist creates a grid on paper and uses small squares of paper to make oversized and pixelated versions of the original image. From Mickey Mouse to Che Guevara, the images are awesome and, as they are made of paper, are easy to remove.
