Los Angeles Graphica 06: Space Invader Street Art
Well-known in the global street art underground, the French artist who goes by the name Invader has left his mark on Third Street in Santa Monica with his iconic mini-mosaic (above) of the "alien" from the classic arcade videogame Space Invader. The name has a double meaning--it not only references the artwork and its source, but is also a reminder that technically, without permission, even putting up aesthetically pleasing little tiled artworks is vandalism and as such makes this artist an "invader" of space, be it private or public.
