The first photo is the block we’re staying on, I always like staying in a local area, you really get an authentic feel for the culture the second photo is my walk home. As I was walking back from the festival I noticed an invasion. Notice the huge space invader above the shop. This was most definitely the work of French artist named “Space Invader”. He secretly places these characters as well as other retro video game characters on the streets of the world. Each piece is a mosaic of ceramic tiles, you can find his art all over the world, and is my first time seeing a piece in real life. Keep your eyes open, street art is everywhere.
