          SPACE INVADER INVASION
1st Place April 09 Have you ever happened upon a tiled Space Invader on a city street? Most of these creations are the work of one man. He likes to be called "Invader". For the past eight years he has been traveling the planet earth playing his own reality Space Invader game. For every tiled Space Invader he cements in place he gives himself points. He has Invaded 35 cities on five continents. He is documenting his invasion and even offers a collection of maps. If your planning a trip to one of the invaded cities stay alert, bring your laser beam and remember they like to move sideways.

Special Selection February 09 He had a sweet afro and makes happy little trees, and I think that qualifies as awesome. :)

Anyone else notice how some of the "space invaders" look more like Pac-Man ghosts?

Spooooky . . .

The joy of painting for me can only last so long in a setting with a body of water, happy trees, and a mountainous body looming in the background. Don't get me wrong, happy trees get me through the day but I don't think I could handle painting the same thing over and over. No matter how effing realistic!
reply
Could someone attempt to convince me that this is somehow awesome?
Because I currently just don't see it. reply
Wow, i know. I mean its kinda awesome, but not undefeated awesome. Its like a video game version of Where the Hell is Matt, but without the depth and meaning of it.
reply
At most it inspires perplexed bemusement... but it doesn't make me feel awe-struck.
Regardless of how neat it may be, SII is simply aweless. reply
Although, I do think it's the most awesome graffiti ever. It takes a lot more thought and time than just using a can of spray paint.
reply
Banksy is more awesome than Space Invader graphiti. (www.banksy.co.uk)
reply
I had never seen his work before, but I have to agree with you.
reply
I'm quite fond of the fact that he installed several of his works at the MOMA, the British Museum and the Tate ... without anyone knowing about it for several weeks.
reply
Banksy is super-awesome...but I also love the fact that Invader is not only doing guerilla art, he's got his own points system for it. That's so unnecessary as to be awe-tastic!!!
reply
I must agree, I never would have guessed at the beginning of the month that the final matchup would be these two....
reply
I think one of the things most awesome about Bob Ross is how many people he inspired. I knew a whole bunch of my friend's moms would get together and paint to VCR recorded episodes of his show while we were at school. The paintings are not really my cup of tea, but what artist has inspired more work, created by other's hands than Bob Ross?
