Space Invader shop is open!, by ricobenfico on Nov 10, 2010 13:31:20 GMT 1, I've always fancied a Mosaic Tile piece but just don't think I could justify that price (given exchange rate, still).
Don't get me wrong, the Mosaic's are really nice (some more than others). My heart says yes, my head says no....
Big difference in price between signed/unsigned and E450 for the tiled book? Yikes.

the tiles-book is nice.
i also like the japan-kit a lot.

Invader does seem to price his work in line with market rates, which isn't a bad thing. Indeed, it's nice that it's the artist seeing a return on his work. Though it does mean that they're not particularly affordable for most. Of course, there's always the DIY route.

Are these real good in person?
Edit: Is the signature on the cellophane or in the tiles?

On the cellophane, there quite nice in person, but I have to say I like them better framed otherwise it's just a tile in cellophane.
You can see a framed example of my Vienna kit over here:

The mosiac tiled book looks good but too pricey for me.
I was hoping for a new print but I guess his recent POW release is more than adequate for now.

I was thinking that... why on earth would I pay more 150โฌ for a cellophane signed by Invader?
I think I will pass this one and stay with my Invader Earth on the wall as the only invader.
Still loving the Earth...

Space Invader shop is open!, by Harveyn on Nov 10, 2010 15:34:03 GMT 1, Do these come in a rigid format?
I am actually quite tempted by one of these. I can see not reason to buy the signed one for an extra E150.
So if you buy an original from a gallery it costs ยฃ2k+ and it might be signed on the back or may not be (I have seen both). Yet these cost E200. Can someone explain what I am missing?
Of course my first question might answer that. Are these a do it yourself kit?

Space Invader shop is open!, by whl10 on Nov 10, 2010 15:36:26 GMT 1, this is the first time i have ever bought a kit. i like the way it looks framed, but i was wondering if you guys would know if the following idea would work out...
in my humble lair, i have a corner of my room that is bricks and looks like, well, the street. (used to be a fireplace). Do you think the tiles will stand the test of time on this if i so choose to put it up there? i think it will give it that street feel as if it was a piece you see on your walks...
tho i guess i cant bring it with me when i move...

Do you mean they fell off the backing stuff?
That is meant to be ripped off when you tile it to a wall or piece of glass for framing.
