Invader has been one of our favorite artists for years now. Ever since one of those first Paris visits he drew our attention. Back then we had no idea yet who or what was responsible for the mosaic pieces, but we knew we liked them. Small interventions throughout the city making Paris beautiful one piece at a time. [...]

As usual I compiled a little montage off what we come across in the streets of Paris. Must admit we barely tried to take pictures of the stuff we spotted this time round, should have done better really but hardly had the time. For those who missed our montage 2 years back, have a look as [...]
