Invader โPrints on Paperโ Book , by simona on Feb 24, 2021 18:47:26 GMT 1, Hopefully the new edition will be more or less the same. Perhaps without the dust jacket and just some text saying the 2nd edition. This will mean if you have the first edition you probably donโt need the 2nd.
Releasing a completely new cover or any different pictures inside just creates more hype and more secondary sales which Invader looks to be trying to prevent to increase his income (quite rightly too)
But where he has previously released different editions, there has been some differences which make them worthwhile collecting. The 3 editions of the first Paris book 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2 (documenting PA001-PA500) contain different pictures which makes them all slightly different.

Invader โข Invasion Kits IK, by simona on Jan 26, 2019 18:26:10 GMT 1, Hi, I wouldn't have thought that having the tiles touching the front would do any harm. After all they regular tiles so very durable.

I really miss VNA magazine, by simona on Jan 19, 2019 20:35:55 GMT 1, For me VNA magazine was a real highlight and I miss it.
Nothing like getting the latest issue, having coffee and a look at the pictures. I usually read the words later !

INVADER first solo show in Los Angeles since 2005, by simona on Jan 8, 2019 21:18:53 GMT 1, Thats fair enough. I'm sure it'll look great what ever you do. Well done for taking it out the bag as well. I've never regretted taking mine out and I wish more people would do so, as they look so much better out than in.

INVADER first solo show in Los Angeles since 2005, by simona on Jan 8, 2019 19:29:11 GMT 1, Hi,
I was just wondering why you want to frame it after it has been stuck to the plexiglass? I've stuck mine to plexiglass and just hung it. The tiles are tough enough to not need any protection.
Before sticking my IK to the plexiglass I drilled the plexi and attached eyelets so I could add a string and hang it like a normal picture. The plexi I stuck the IK too, is about black and about 1cm thick.
If a tile should fall off, I'll just glue it back!

Invader books - where to buy, by simona on Dec 19, 2018 15:28:36 GMT 1, Itโs always worth a try! I remember seeing a second had copy of Paris 1.0 on amazon earlier this year. It was listed as the first edition, but only $90. I thought it was true good to be true, but I took a chance and a few days later it was delivered!! First edition, brand new, still in the shrink wrap!!!

New Invader book incoming..., by simona on Sept 4, 2018 21:10:57 GMT 1, I'm hoping that the new LA book will include some updated photos from the original version, as its probably my least favourite Invader book in terms of picture quality and size.
I think an updated UK book would be possible, but there has only been an extra 50 new Invaders put in London since, so the amount of new stuff would be limited. But having said that Ravenna got a whole book, based on 40 Invaders!
I'd like to see a New York book. There must be enough content what with all his arrests there, and the subway tunnel placements

Invader โข Invasion Kits IK, by simona on Apr 30, 2018 21:02:08 GMT 1, Inspired by the Alias, I opened my IK16, and stuck it to a slab of black plexi and hung it on the wall. After doing so, I did have a slight regret, but seeing it on the wall makes me smile. The bag is in a drawer somewhere.
I've often thought that if I ever get another IK, I could just make a replica and stick that on some plexi and keep the real one intact.

organising a street art festival, by simona on Apr 26, 2018 21:02:25 GMT 1, Hi,
I live in Ipswich and for a town of its size it has almost no quality street art. I've been a long time admirer of the various festivals that happen in different places and was wondering how best to go about organising one.
I'll need; Walls, Artists, Permissions,
Anyone had any experience in pitching stuff like this to councils, wall owners, and what costs are involved etc?
Sorry if this a all a bit vague, but it difficult to know where to start.
Cheers!

Invader Ravenna Book, by simona on Sept 15, 2017 19:47:06 GMT 1, I'd certainly welcome an new update to the LA and London books. There have been quite a few Invaders gone up since they were published.

Banksy โข Box Set, Walled Off Hotel, by simona on Sept 15, 2017 19:45:30 GMT 1, I would imagine that chipping off bits of wall would be a pretty hazardous job, for fear of getting shot or something!
Mind you, taking bits of wall and selling it as art is an interesting way of getting that wall down.

Invader x MissTic collab?, by simona on Sept 3, 2017 20:11:38 GMT 1, The IK MSF and the RVE print that have the other signatures on are absolutely worthless. I'll take them off your hands free of charge for secure disposal!

Invader Ravenna Book, by simona on Sept 3, 2017 14:26:15 GMT 1, 1,000 copies sounds about right to.
Ravenna is one of the smaller and lesser known places he has invaded so the general interest is likely to lower, than say for Hong Kong, LA, London, Paris.
He did editions of 1,000 for Invaderoma.
Having open ended editions alongside a limited edition doesn't make sense, as it costs money to store unsold books.

Invader Invasion Kit MSF, by simona on Aug 21, 2017 20:22:44 GMT 1, I hanged my IK16 by sticking it onto a 10mm thick slab of black acrylic. I just measured the kit and got the acrylic cut to size from a website. I can't remember which one, but there was quite a few offering to cut sheets to size.
Before I stuck the IK to the acrylic, I drilled couple of holes into the acrylic and screwed some eyelets into the holes so I could attach some string.
The tricky part was lining the IK up to the acrylic. I first attempted to put the IK onto the acrylic, but it was difficult to control. So, I laid the IK face down on the table and lowered the acrylic onto it.
It was pretty nerve racking, and I did a few dry runs before I took the paper backing off the sticky pad. The size of the IK helped as any bigger it would have been really difficult to line up. I'd consider making a frame and use that as a guide.
It came out really well. I'd do it again, but I'd also be tempted to build a replica and stick that up rather than open an the IK.

Invader Invasion Kit MSF, by simona on Jun 23, 2017 21:25:06 GMT 1, Yes, at least it will be over quick! Although, you never know he may specify that the editions are drip fed over a certain period of time (like the Space Shop).
Anyway, if you don't manage to get one, the good news is that you can still make a donation to the MSF here; secure.msf.org.uk/Donate/MultiLanding.aspx?type=dd&source=7001&country=000
Its a pretty amazing charity providing medical aid anywhere in the world, where it is needed.

invader art, by simona on May 4, 2017 21:21:37 GMT 1, How sad that it has been removed after all these years. Oh well, at least you have some tiles you can use for something. Perhaps place one of the tiles under a wonky table leg or use it as a trivet to save your kitchen worktop... I don't know why anyone would want to buy an invader street piece, as they are just a bunch of tiles. Taking them away from their original placement loses everything that Invader art is about... It's basically worthless, and by removing it you've spoilt a lot of fun for people who use the flash invaders app.
Also, technically speaking it's not an Alias...
