Gawker points out this neat bit of street art found in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, on 9th Street, earlier this week. Unfortunately, the art has since been removed or snagged by some enterprising street walker.

Scott wrote in with this snap of a Mario Brothers-themed tag from the streets of Montreal. Since we are, as he pointed out, the "official repository for video game-related graffiti".

My favorite part of this piece is the way Luigi and the clouds are rendered in pseudo-pixelated fashion, using the bricks of the wall as a guide. The blue innards of the tag are adorned with the Luis Vuitton handbag pattern, which is a fabulous touch. Notice the coy Luigi Vuitton mini-tag to the lower left of the main blue blocks.

That lumpy, leering Mario is hideous in comparison. And check out that goblin that's hiding around the corner. Canada is terrifying. Eliza Gauger
