Space Invader Mosaic

[squirmelia]

There is now a space invader mosaic hanging on my wall:



It's difficult to tell from the picture, but the tiles are quite shiny and the darker colour is a dark blue.

Are space invader mosaics a thing? Because I think there's one the side of a bridge on the south side of the river here in Rotterdam, but I only ever see it when I'm running so I keep failing to stop and take a photo.

There's an artist, Invader, who creates them in different countries:

There used to be loads in London, but now there are not so many. Here's a FourSquare list I made of ones that were still there at least fairly recently:

There are maps, such as Rotterdam Map of Invaders (http://www.space-invaders.com/maprotter.html).

Here's some photos of some I've seen in Spain, the UK and Switzerland:

The one on my wall is just an imitation, as it is made by me. :)

Ha! Right. Yep, the one I've seen matches one of the map locations. And also according to that there's three of them on the street I've just moved to. I'm going to have to look for them now.
