Invader is an anonymous French street artist with a penchant for a certain 1970s video game and a desire to take over the world with mosaics made from square coloured tiles.

And he’s succeeding: http://bit.ly/gq7qk.

Help keep the invasion alive by pasting up your very own Space Invader, 88 ceramic tiles of alien-busting brilliance.

'Burning Toys' – Estria

Top night down at Paintworks last night for the Get Dring Mobile auction, some great live painting outside, great music and a whole lot of bidding for a great guy. Well, bidding for art to raise money for a great guy, Mike himself of course not being for sale.

It was interesting to see how the bidding went. Some pieces were an absolute steal, other went for far more than you would ever have thought. As a wise man put it last night, ‘a picture’s only worth what someone is willing to pay for it’. Stencil work still seems to be very much in fashion with the buyerati, wonder how much longer that will last.

In total, the auction raised something like £24,500, before you count in the bar receipts, pieces that sold outside of the auction and all sorts. So well on the way to getting Mike’s car sorted then, awesome stuff.

There’s more to come still too, lots of pieces left to be sold on Ebay very soon, including a lovely Will Barras that lots of people were coveting last night, so keep an eye out.

Here’s some photos from it all then, the live painting as it went along, and the works inside the auction as well.

An hour or so ago the Paris pieces on Hillgrove Street were painted over. All sorts going on apparently, proper permission not sorted out, owner annoyed, Police get involved, all seems to have ended ok though.

Miss B has the more of the story.

You’ll have probably sen this one by now, but here’s a reminder for you. Epok and Sepr opening a solo show down at the Weapon of Choice Gallery tomorrow night. Should be great, here’s the flyer.

Incidentally, the first issue of the Weapon of Choice magazine came out online yesterday, free to download, and it should be out in hard copy at the start of next week apparently. There’s interviews with Epok and Sepr in it appropriately enough, go check it out.
