Invader x Mekanism Skateboards by Josh Rubin

Makingof

Paris-based skateboard company Mekanism invited Space Invader—the French graffiti artist known for his mosaics—once again to have his way with their decks.

Matrix (pictured right) duplicates the original design, adding mirror eyes, while "Above the City" (left) is made of black and white mini tiles and "Rubik" continues Invaders' more recent habit of repurposing Rubik's cubes. They're all available through their site and you can see more images here.
