Can't see how it would be Invader...

[Cedric Mnich]

You'll never know for sure... And Invader won't authentify it and always say it's a fake in order to prevent from speculators removing the tiles from walls...

[jusdeep]

Probably fake imo. Like Cedric said, you'll never know for sure and always air on the side of caution.
There's one very similar in the London Bridge area which has a very odd placement. Low to the ground and just doesn't feel right at all. I'll get a picture of it later in the week as it looks very similar, different colours and a more complete panel but just plain odd.

[rottenredrooster]

Doesn't look right whatever way you think about it.

[formula400]

i have not seen one like it before, but how the hell would he get it off the wall whole.

[Cedric Mnich]

5 GBP... no reserve... Weird for a claimed to be original... Anyway, it's worthless on secondary market as it would never get authentified. Methinks the only ones worth something on the art market are the gallery ones, aliases prints and kits.

I was just thinkin if it was real and someone knew from where, I'd buy it and stick it back up where it belongs. Kinda feels like that Pixel Monster rip off though when you look at it. Just doesn't "feel" like Invader to me. But I am new to all this too.

[des77]

Looks like its never been stuck to a wall to me, maybe fixed with blutak to take the photo

[Cedric Mnich]

Does anyone have the London book to check it ? It mentions Soho.

[don]

This piece is not documented anywhere, It's just a copycat wannabe.

[Yervi]

i checked the book. didnt see it anywhere as well.

[kadzima]

Thanks don and hyeg35!

[lebanksi]

Saw this when it was actually on the wall a few weeks back. It was on Rupert St, close to where Marks and Stencils was infact. No idea whether it's a real invader but my guess would be no.

[jusdeep]

I got some pictures of the other one I was talking about ealier, will post them up later on.

[jusdeep]

Here you go, no doubt in my mind that it's not by Invader

Very odd placement for an Invader…


…and shonky construction

[jeromeetjess]

I also made some searchs in the invader UK book but there is no trace of this. FAKE for me too!

if i was Invader - i would deny this!

[southerninvader2]

Tis fake. there was a while ago that was done the same but invader doesnt do his pieces on the wire lattice thing that is showing through on these.

[seeohay]

If it was by PixelMonster it would be on his Flikr.

I reckon this is real when I say it in person. It was also mounted on thick wood so maybe thats why he used a metal lattice?

This is the PixelMonster version... www.flickr.com/photos/mister_x/251277679/

Dosen't seems to compare to me!

[don]

Its NOT by space invader.
forget about this rubbish,
Time to move along

[seeohay]

Sorry that was meant to say- after seeing it person I reckon its real.

Also not on Pixelmonsters website. Plus he puts his tiles up in Germany.
