Taken space invader, by thetruth01 on Jan 29, 2018 12:24:58 GMT 1, I was working on a mural painting job in London and mentioned to a builder about
my interest in invader work and showed him one that was on a wall near to where we were working.
The next week we came to do some further work and he had taken it off the wall
and jokingly handed it to me in a bag.
Feeling a bit guilty for mentioning this to him and him doing this.
I asked a tile artist I work with to have look at reconstructing the artwork as best she could back to its original state.
Just seeing what peoples views are on this and if its just something I should keep in my collection, contact invader and return, sell, destroy  ?

Weโd be very interested to see what youโve got as itโs probably one of our fakes anyway.
if Itโs something we can repair or salvage you can return it to us. Other than that destroy it.
They are worthless and only an idiot would buy tiles that could have been scraped up anywhere. The same sort that thinks itโs clever to steal and then try to sell them

Taken space invader, by thetruth01 on Jan 29, 2018 13:28:16 GMT 1, Hi, thanks for comments, Just to make it clear I didn't make the remark for the purpose of the builder taking the work down, nor did I want the item. I was just talking about street art and showed him the invader that was on the wall near to where we were chatting.
The invader has been replaced so I cant put it back
so will chuck it away

If you want to do the right thing then letโs see which invader you have and letโs see pics of you destroying it
But in guessing you never had any intention of that in the first place and thought people would bite your hand off for stolen street art
Prove us all wrong ......or should we expect to see it on the bay soon ?

Definitely c) SELL would be the most righteous thing to do.
No.. It is taken off the wall now anyways, just keep it and enjoy it. Destroying makes no sense at all, selling neither as you don't have any authenticity proofs, well, turning it back might be an option.. But well..
So anyways, show a pic please!

why do we need any affiliation to anyone else to claim our property ?
Itโs not made by space invader
we bought the tiles with our money. We built it and we placed it on a wall - invader hasnโt even looked at that Piece
So to answer your question Iโd say you miss the point

Don't think they're moaning as such, but claiming it's their property just seems weird..A bit like putting a photo on social media and then complaining that someone has shared it. |

If not then it's anyones property who takes it, unless of course the building owner has claimed it themselves.

Taken space invader, by Film Director 247 on Jan 29, 2018 17:11:41 GMT 1, I appreciate what the Space Rescue guys do. I missed most of the Invaders first time round so to see a replica of them so accurately 'reactivated' is great. Keep up the good work guys.
There has been and will be a deep debate about who owns what, and I think even Invader himself lost a court case to someone that took his tiles off the wall.
Invader has already said he will not authenticate any stolen street pieces so it seems those tiles won't carry any value.
Part of street art is that it's not going to last forever so expect more to come down and more to go up. It's all part of the process.

Yeah, why isn't anyone talking about how bad this is. My two year old made a better mosaic with his alphabet blocks the other day. You should be fined for how hideous this is....
..... or are you all geniuses going for the abstract Picasso/Invader look

โThe experience of ice carving and the melting of the sculpture over time to nothing but a memory and this photographic documentation, is very similar to making and putting work in the public domain. Itโs temporary, and once made and positioned itโs no longer yours. Trying to retain ownership of the physical piece is like trying to keep ice in your hands.โ
