Does anyone know how to make the mosaics that invader does in terms of what materials to use and what sort of glue works best on concrete and redbrick.

I believe he uses ordinary ceramic tiles. It's pretty easy to make a mosaic, you just glue the tiles to a board, and then use some mosaic cement (forget the technical name) to stick them all together. No idea what glue would be best for concrete. Try No More Nails.

That said, don't do anything derivative. You'll only embarrass yourself.

It won't be derivative and it will be highly anonymous.

Tiles are just normal ones, smooth one side jagged on the other. He also uses this netting kinda thing (like a few beef nappys or a old worn out cloth) to keep them all in place with glue and that, they always look gluey when they get removed. Then some cement.

Where abouts are you trying this?

My idea is basically to try to 'interact' in a way that is sort of a homage. I have a few of his locations in mind, in London and abroad.

I would of course post pics if I did it right.

There was a guy about ten years ago who went around putting up little earth ships shooting at the invaders.

Newcastle have alot from the 2007 (I guess) spank the monkey exhibition in the Baltic. Manchester has a few, but the council have started taking them down. So there are a few loose tiles on the floor where they were.

I remember reading about how to do this in some wannabe anarchist 'cookbook', notably one less dangerous and misleading than the original 60s one made by the CIA.

Here it is, cba to try and find it for free, it'll be out there somewhere.
