Space Invader - Hoxton Square
Today after a visit to the Père Lachaise cemetery on the occasion of the National Day of Deportation I explored the 20th and 11th arrondissements of Paris and went space invader hunting...
I first started photographing graffiti in 1999, and in 2000 I setup a website to share my photos. Initially a mix of different subjects, but it soon became almost entirely of graffiti. I uploaded over 6000 photos to this site. Eventually Flickr came along a few years later and I started using that instead, and stopped updating the website. I shut it down completely a few years ago.
I occasionally get requests from people for photos of pieces by specific graffiti writers, and I thought it might be a good idea to upload them all to Flickr.
Most of these photos were taken on film, scanned, and saved at a small size, back in the day when people were still using 56k modems to connect to the internet and small filesizes were desirable. So apologies for the quality and size for some of these. Someday I'd like to get them all scanned in again at a higher resolution.
Like my photos? Buy me a coffee!
This build began as a more classic spaceship, and then evolve into this strange thing... well, maybe it's better like that ^^
Invasion in Amsterdam in 1999 by French artist Invader.
This mosaic is one of the few remaining in 2015. It is located at the corner of Leidsegracht / Korte Leidsedwarsstraat in Amsterdam.
Not technically a space invader, but close enough! Bub The Dinosaur (from Taito's Bust-A-Move) is an old favorite of mine. In college some friends and I wrote a wicked cool version of Taito's classic, and among other things I had to draw my own version of Bub. Maybe I'll find the original somewhere and post it...
