from what i've read, he didn't press charges. if the police catch someone in the act in the middle of the night they arrest them and then will release them later if no charges are pressed.

if the gallery owner owned the building then he can do whatever he wants with the piece.

The Invader piece didn't look good on that building. As the owner, I can understand why he removed it.

That Princess was one of the coolest Invader pieces I've seen.

It is cool - just not as part of that building. My fave:

The building owner will probably sell it and not press charges.

I recently saw a picture somewhere of Invader installing a piece on the streets. He had a pole in his hands, was standing on the sidewalk and people were walking around. I think it was while he was in Hong Kong. Now I cant find the pic anywhere. Did any of you see it?

That sounds exactly like a picture that was recently posted on Failes Instragram, except the picture was of one of the Patricks and not Invader.

No Problem, but to be fair I'm pretty sure Invader used the same tactics back then so it would make sense that there might be an exact Invader pic like that somewhere. :)

Love it.

An amateur question for you. I see a lot of Invader-esque stuff out in the world. How does one know for certain that it is his work? Is it linked to his maps he puts out, or does he post updates somewhere? Was always curious.

I think the Banksy board has nailed it that this is a soft pack of Marlboro Reds. I guess this was taken off his instagram account quickly.

Warhol did Cambells cans so I don't see why people are getting upset that Invader is doing a pack of smokes.

Smoking has negative stigma.
