a little tired of the swiss coffee that's been sloppily caked on your walls over the last decade? is your bedroom as exciting as a san quentin cell? here's a fairly inexpensive way to add a little personality to your environment. blik, creators of designer decals offer super hip surface graphics to liven up your world. how about a little wall art with some vinyl space invaders? if retro arcade images aren't your steez, no worries, there are plenty of grown up modern patterns for you to resist.
if we're going to talk about videogame inspired art, respect to space invader, the french artist who also creates a little wall art of his own. carefully placing his mini mosaics wherever he pleases, he surprises those who spot his tiled tags. touring tokyo? sunning in the south of france? invader's work is meticulously documented in maps and is available for your own eye candy treasure hunt.
i was introduced to invader's art several years ago. in my travels i've spotted and photographed his work in three different countries. i'm always stoked to see his tiles in large cityscapes feeling as though i've found an easter egg. joining the revolution, i even purchased my own invader kit hoping to eventually put up my own piece. but i could never get around to tearing open the static bag. it was simply too cool to use as instructed. and at 80 euros, it ain't cheap. it's art!
UPDATE: space invaders area rug available at dune for $3000! if you're going to throw around this much dosh, why not invest in the original arcade classic instead?
