Invader features early in this extraordinary street art documentary by Banksy:

I was in Marseille last week and saw a pixel art of a seagull carrying an invader and was wondering about the story behind it. I love it, thanks for sharing.

There is/was a space invader about 50m from my door in Budapest when I lived there.

It was pretty subtle and I’m sure most people walking by it didn’t even notice. I really liked it, especially the fact that it was impossible to know whether it was a Genuine Space Invader or merely a space invader.

Tangentially, Fleet Street has some other space invaders in the form of a plaque.

Many years ago I had an idea for a mobile app that would effectively be an interactive tour for street art. Just a map with all known instances of public art, whether murals, quality graffiti, public sculptures, etc.

Still seems like a good idea tbh.

I don't live in London, but was there a few weeks ago and walked right by one of the buildings featured and didn't notice. Goes to show that you should always be looking up.

There was an Invader alien somewhere around ground zero prior to the attack. His website used to have a picture of it.

I was in Switzerland on holiday and noticed some of these. Pretty fun, non-destructive and interesting.

Yikes, I can remember when turn of the century meant something different to what it does today.
