One thing that you'll notice if you look up whilst you're in Paris, is the amount of Space Invaders that are on parade. As a matter of fact, although the artist is indeed French, his pieces are plastered all over the world. Now, I don't deliberatly go looking for these invaders (there are too many), but if you look around -usually near street signs- you'll see one. The pieces directly below were taken outside Bo Plastic, which is a café nowadays. These two pictures were taken in 2002 (or thereabouts). One of the Invaders is cropped, and the other is HUGE! It must've been one of his early pieces, it's certainly the first piece of his I ever saw. Atchung! Not all the work here is by the same artist! Invaders first, other street stylings follow. Look closely, or you'll miss 'em.

ABOVE: More Invasions or styles rather similar to... Notice the Mario ABOVE RIGHT: In the background is the Pompidou Centre, which is a nice link to the picture BELOW RIGHT, which is a piece is just to the side of the Pompidou, next to the The Church of Saint-Merri (Église Saint-Merri). BELOW THOSE pictures are (LEFT) A bizarre 'Fly Hive', and , if you look closer, a dead end sign which has been 'adjusted'. To the right of that pic is in Saint-Germain Des Pres. There's a large Invader here, but more interestingly there's a group of seven coloured... things! I don't know who's work this is, but I see similar pieces dotted around Paris.
