His creations can be seen in highly-visible locations in over 65 cities in 33 countries. To accompany his citywide installations, or “Invasions”, Invader publishes books and maps as guides to the locations of his mosaics.
Invader has since staged “invasions” in cities and countries worldwide, including five in New York City and three in Hong Kong. He often installs mosaics in culturally and/or historically important locations, with one high- profile example being his December 31st, 1999 mosaic on the letter D of the Hollywood Sign marking the Y2K bug. During subsequent trips to Los Angeles, he also placed mosaics on the eight other letters of the sign.

Since the 2010s, when his works became highly sought-after by art collectors and theft became a real concern, he has begun to choose sites that are more difficult to reach and to create larger works with more delicate tiles that cannot be removed without damaging the piece. He has also taken steps against legal action; in late 2015, while planning another “invasion” in New York City, he put out a call on social media for building owners who would be willing to host his mosaics legally.
