90 Pixel Art Masterpieces: Pappas Pärlor’s Perler Bead Street Takeover

Pappas Pärlor: The Pixel Art Visionary

Pappas Pärlor, also known as Johan Karlgren, is a Swedish street artist who brings old-school video game vibes to the real world.

He uses Perler beads—small plastic beads that melt together—to create colorful, pixel-style art. His pieces feature famous characters from video games, cartoons, and pop culture, blending them into everyday places like streets and signs.

What makes his art so cool is how it surprises people. You might see Super Mario climbing out of a sewer, Pac-Man chasing ghosts on a city wall, or even Darth Vader walking across a crosswalk. His art makes people smile and look at their surroundings in a fun, new way.
