space invaders

Walking around the city of Paris, we've come across these really cool mosaics of Space Invaders characters.


rue de fourcy

rue des pyramides

somewhere in paris

Apparently, they are part of a real-life Space Invaders game by the artist who calls himself "Invader."  The mosaics can be found in cities all over the world. London, Tokyo, Los Angeles, New York.  The list goes on and on.  There are like a zillion in Paris.  And, I guess I just decided that our new hobby will be to track these down all over the world.  :)

Here's a link to the map of all of the mosaics in Paris.
I am totally going to buy one of these to put in my kitchen when we remodel.

In LA, you can find one at Randy's Donuts and also on the Hollywood sign.  If you live near one, send me a picture of it!

And, just because I love this, here is a picture of my favorite street post in Gif-sur-Yvette.

Yes, that's Isaac from the Love Boat!
