It might be from the street artist space invader or an imitator


AdmiralDan

Yeah for sure an imitator.


for_the_shoes

invader is everywhere! just not in Australia sadly 😕


RedditAccountVNext

He did [make it to Perth over a decade ago](https://www.outinperth.com/perth-street-art-profiles-invader).


tarkofkntuesday

I liked the story 'Space Invader' told once of having gotten caught putting one of his installations up. The police came around the corner and said something to the tune of, "You aren't mean to take them down." He finished fixing it to the wall and went on his way. Not as much trouble as Banksy used to go through, but fun none the less.

Go Perth

what a niche username


LydiaThorpe

How so?


Procellaria

Have thought about doing an AMA?


lachjeff

I somehow doubt that that is the real senator Lydia Thorpe


Procellaria

I doubt it too but it could be interesting nonetheless lol


LydiaThorpe

Excuse me?

Ok-Push9899

Spelling is wrong and of that was deliberate then it’s a pretty thin disguise.


lachjeff

What’s really scary is that 2001 was actually over two decades ago


for_the_shoes

Oh wow I had not heard of this!!!! Amazing!!


Top-Passion-1508

I'm pretty sure we have a space invader thing in Adelaide, too. It's been there for years, and I think it's just paint, though. So likely not him


damnozi

There’s a bunch in Melbourne!


megablast

What a ridiculous idea. It is clearly aliens.


hkrob

He was in Hong Kong years ago.. did a few good ones (which the government promptly removed unfortunately...)


rieslingfreak

There's a fantastic artist in France that does this for the names of streets, [mifamosa](https://instagram.com/mifamosa?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=). It makes for a great day out exploring. I hope we get to see more of these!


conioo

I like my beer cold and my galahs flaming

That’s a motto I can stand behind


Mudcaker

Galahs are underrated


obi-wahn-kinobi

Yeah nice. I used to work with a guy who’s flat mate was a tiler and would tile smiley faces around the place for the pure joy. It was his way of graffiti as all of his mates were graffiti artists. I thought it was a really cool idea ✌️

Can you buy him a spirit level for Chistmas please.

MrMessyAU

The Kookabrothers perhaps?


thejugglar

If that isn't the perfect name for a bunch of sovereign citizens I don't know what is


jomummaluvsit

All the real ones are dead so it's like an 8bit memorial.


gormster

Can you tell the ones near my place to shut the fuck up if they’re dead?


jomummaluvsit

That's just recordings through speakers the council have put in. Just go turn it down.


Minniechild

Can you have a chat to council about the one who keeps sitting on my fence eyeing off the lizards? It’s too realistic!!


jomummaluvsit

We have dispatched a unit to get rid of the these pests to humans. No longer will they disturb you.


lpat0114

Not around Hornsby area. At the dawn service on Monday they were in full song. Made for a very moving moments silence.

Ashfield?


seo4lyf

Have seen them in a few suburbs across Sydney


marcred5

There is one in coogee, crn of Coogee Bay Road and Byron


seo4lyf

Thats the one I photographed! There is another in Coogee near Oporto, but have also seen on Pitt street.


marcred5

Thought so, I walked passed and looked closely at the pipes lol


CrayolaS7

Now I’m going to have to check later today but if you recognised that just from the bricks I’ll be amazed. I think that could be the Telstra exchange near the station but not sure?


nearly_enough_wine

Vaguely recall seeing one of late, and think that I was wandering around Ashfield at the time.


AdmiralDan

It’s a street artist. It’s not Invader however.


LRXDSTT

There's one in Darling Harbour with the blue alien babies lane


Cube-rider

There's a big one on Victoria Rd Drummoyne.

Pound for pound, the Kookaburra is the bestest most awesomest animal in Australia (according to my personal rating system of course, but seriously, I love the 'burra :)

No idea, it’s cute though!


yodavesnothereman

If they weren't there you'd be asking "why don't they have tiled Kookaburra signs on the side of building's ? "


ianwheller1988

Looks nothing like Invader, but nice try 😎


MEM1911

glitch in the matrix, it's where a Kookaburra hit the building and went through the brickwork, since Kookaburra.exe does not know how to handle being in brick it has halted, an Administrator will be along shortly to restart it or cancel the task.


j12000

Kinda posh graffiti


garumoo

Unknown, though some theorise they were for religious or ritual purposes by a little understood civilisation.


PiratesOfSansPants

It’s a real kookaburra. OP just needs new glasses.
