As much as I'd like a cheap kit, I strongly disagree with the above. A key element to sustaining an artists success is to protect their prices. An open edition would seriously damage his market and it would be a firm kick in the teeth to everyone who has provided patronage throughout the years.

If you count the tiles which are usually 2cm each, it looks to be 20 x 14 cm.

Yes for me it's a bigger one, so not less than 750 euros. I f it s a smaller one it won't be less than 350/400 euros.
Anywauy ti will be expensive, as prints. All the prints were expensives this year, even ones from not famous or young artists.
When you see that some prints are at 175 or 250 £ on a GP per example, it is not so much expensive for an Invader ( ah ah flippers are happy ) , nbut it is expensive for people as me.
Art is good for rich men.
I will never get a banksy and I know people that have their house full of Banksy and Invader ( and not only prints but originals )... These friends should take care when they post ics on facebook anyway.
Me ? I just share my old socks, understand my own artworks from age , lol !

For the Quality of the Tiles, Invader has his " Surnatural born Tiller " - to buy them.

I don't agree. If you open the packet carefully and keep it, keep all packaging etc. I don't believe it to be worth half as much.
I have 3 IKs and have opened all of mine, and if I were to sell them i'd at least get my money back if not more.

I'd agree that the price point rules me out as I'd much more likely go to homebase and spend a score on tiles and create the same exact thing. But I'm pretty sure these are already created. I've never seen one in person so I may be wrong bit I think there is a sticky film on the back so you can attach it somewhere and this holds it all together. Shopppping

The older IK's are stuck together on the back with silicone. The newer ones have one big double sided sticky pad. So you just peel the sheet and stick it.

Here is mine hanging on the wall. The way it should be as I see it also outdoors like this. ;-)

So how much would you be willing to spend to get a kit that you "freely" stick in the street I forgot that Invader is apparently supposed to be the only artist everybody expects to do charity ;-) I mean, I guess he also has bills to pay, right ? Peace

So more work to get the same amount of money : that sounds like what politicians are asking (from us) as well ;-)

... starting with a potters wheel

But you're obviously paying for more than production costs when you buy a piece.  You're investing in the artists career.  You're looking at the artist's history as to what they've brought to the art world in the past and hopefully will continue to develop in the future.

Invader is probably on the mount rushmore of the current crop of street artists (banksy, invader, shep, os gemeos?) and with that comes a higher price point.  To me a 1k invader kit makes a hell of a lot more sense than a 200 quid print from (pick your poison) ..., whatson, la staa, etc etc etc ad naseum.  Those artists have come along, painted an advertising billboard in order to promote a print release and immediately move to the next one. 

People have plenty of chances to support Invader's career - prints, OG's, books, bouncy balls. maps, etc.

I thought the whole point of the IK's originally was to "spread the invasion" and glue them to walls, no?

it's been said on here that he doesn't make the IK's himself

I don't see the problem with an artist like Whatson, or whoever it may be making a £200 print and then moving on to the next. 

People should collect art because they like the image, style, etc...if an artist you like releases prints frequently, it gives you the chance to get some up on your wall. Whilst all the while, said artist can afford to continue to put out prints. Seems like a winning formula to me...

The invader kits are a bunch of tiles for an extortionate amount of money. That to me, makes no sense.
