Invader x Mekanism Skateboards by Josh Rubin
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. Expanding on the limited edition turquoise and red mosaic print that Invader came up with on their first collaboration (back in '05), there's only one per edition and they're made with actual tiles. 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.

Space Invaders
It's hard to find anyone who hasn't ever played and appreciated the game Space Invaders before. Some kooky French guy loved the game so much he started spreading his fascination by finding ways to invade the world, city by city, with the little aliens. He has already invaded Paris, and has frighteningly good maps for all the other invasions he plans. He travels around...
