Pac Man Mural in Canberra

Stand up Canberra and be counted! You're now on the list!

Ok, the list isn't very big, and I've only just started it a few minutes ago, but Canberra can now join Melbourne in the states of Australia to have had some funky game related street art captured.

Kotaku, which quite often posts game related pics of street murals and cakes (as well as games news!), has a pic of a snazzy chalk mural taken in our capital state...

This very pastel, very cute Pac Man mural was plastered up on the old Woden bus depot in Canberra, Australia (fun trivia: this particular writer's home town). Canberra, much like many areas in Australia at the moment, is suffering through a severe drought. I say it was plastered, though, because it was there for an age and a day until I decided to post this, and then it went and rained for a week and a half, wiping it clean off. What are the odds!

We've posted about local game related street murals before, and it's always interesting to see how this originator of this piece tackles the tricky problem of replicating pixel art on a wall.

Well, ok, maybe it's not so tricky if you think about it, but please do click on the following link to check out the mural!
