I’m letting go of one of my prized possessions. Yes, it’s time to sell my cute little invader kit. Though I still love the work of the artist, I’m realizing that I don’t need this little bit of pop culture. In fact, I have a more interesting collection of tiles I can use should I […]

It’s Sara’s idea to jump. She and Maryann make several passes in front of the big mosaic. I snap away. Then a woman who works nearby observes our antics and volunteers to take a photo of all three of us. So we get in front of the artwork and, on the count of three… We’re […]

This just warms the heart. Invader’s back in town. And he’s replacing some of his stolen works.
Seems ipowerweb loses my site for half a day yesterday. Anyone trying to access the site through normal means comes up against a brick wall. Sorry about that. My hosting company is probably melting in the heat. If you’re trying to get at counterinvasion.com, you probably ran into the same thing. But in this case […]

I’m spending a couple days in San Luis Obispo before returning to LA for Christmastime pandemonium at work. On a walk downtown this morning, I finally got a chance to take some pics of the wonderful walls of Bubblegum Alley. Enjoy. And for more pics (not to mention larger ones) I posted a mini-set over […]

I’m walking from Argentum to Amoeba, switching jobs mid-day (Eleanor Ave to Vine to Sunset to Ivar.) Since I’m rarely without my camera, and today is so beautiful, I decide to snap photos of whatever I deceree photo-worthy along the way. There’s a gate on the West side of the street. It’s usually closed. Today […]

Sara and I sit on the front stoop of Amoeba. She smokes a cigarette. I’m keeping her company. Why? I dunno, in case she needs help, I guess. I don’t smoke. To be more accurate, I don’t smoke my own cigarettes. I’m content with the second-hand stuff. Unless someone gives me one, but even then […]

Seems to me that the most successful con artists would be the articulate ones. Smooth talkers get better results. As the saying goes, you attract more flies with honey. So why is so much spam so poorly written? That’s what I’m wondering when I glance at the following email: So lovely pictures !! God bless […]

More invaders are down. The one at Melrose and the 101 is gone. The one next to the Bouorgeois Pig is gone (another one of my favorites.) But we found a brand new one. This guy is close to home. And the best thing is it’s protected by security cameras.

Special thanks to Caryn over at art.blogging.la, who posted about the Invader-theft yesterday, as well as the cool cats over at visualresistance.org (my new favorite blog) who totally “get” how depressing it is when someone rips off cool street art. Blogging.la posted a mini-blurb of the situation here, reacting to that Klaxon-call over at flickr. […]

One of the coolest street art projects in Los Angeles is under serious attack. Anyone who knows me knows of my obsession with the art of the enigmatic French artist known as Invader. More than a year ago, my friend Sara and I picked up on his work and began an obsessive hunt for as […]
Hey. My latest post is up at LAist.com. Check it out.

Okay, so yeah, it’s almost been a week since I’ve posted anything interesting. I’ve been preoccupied. During long stretches of inactivity on this blog you can almost always find me over at my other site, counterinvasion.com. For about a year now, my friend Sara and I have been obsessed with tracking down art by the […]
