Ypsilanti "Invaded" with street art

A pear mosaic by Invader in Ypsilanti, Michigan.
 

Pseudonymous French street artist, Invader, has descended into Ypsilanti. Spreading his mosaic virus into the city. Two installations, a pear and a scene from Pac-Man in the artist's signature 8-bit style appeared near the city's Riverside Park sometime in May of this year. 

If confirmed as authentic, Ypsilanti would be the first city in the Midwest and only the 5th city in the US to host work by Invader. 

How long will the work remain? Nobody can say for sure. Street art is, after all, ephemeral. I won't reveal the exact locations of the mosaics so that you can have some fun looking for them.
