Hi Twitter, having spent a lot of time on @googleearth, I've built up a collection art visible from space. I'd like to share some of my favs with you all in this thread 🛰️🎨

First up is the 'grandma' from Ella & Pitr in Pavilion 3, France, located here: goo.gl/maps/KGANS9Cge….

Exhibit 2 is also from Ella & Pitr, this time in Panaji, Goa, India. This one is of a swimmer, taking a rest on the roof of a carpark. It is located here: goo.gl/maps/Wpue1tDEN…. And you can find some of the other ones they did nearby here: xxlcollective.com/ella-pitr1

Exhibit 3 (one of my favs) is Art Attack from Kitt Bennett in Reservoir, Victoria, Australia (here: goo.gl/maps/nc1CbxY8E…). It is spread over three basketball courts. (original post here: instagram.com/p/Bc4AQUiBcmQ/)

4 is 'Go To Bed', also by Kitt Bennett in Ascot Vale, Victoria here: goo.gl/maps/ZY4dvst6W…. Here's a cool timelapse of when it was made: instagram.com/p/BsSWqKvgWt8/

5 is a 300m long mural called '9 til 5'. Closer aerial shots can be seen here: instagram.com/p/B4rQ_yBJMue/. The location of this one is here: goo.gl/maps/7hHbd8Bqc… (be mindful that Google Maps doesn't show this, so you need Google Earth's view of Jan 2020.

6 is in Queenstown, Tasmania (location: goo.gl/maps/ghPCd6Bh9… and is a fly chasing a maggot. It would have been cooler if the imagery was a bit more clearer, but I wanted to include it with the aerial photos seen here: instagram.com/p/Bon5etQAejM/

7 is a magic carpet mural located in Charlotte, North Carolina (here: goo.gl/maps/gTgq47nX7…) by artists Jessie and Katey. You can see closeups here: instagram.com/p/BFuecNFGDpf/

8 is another one by @ellapitr. This time in Salerno Province, Italy. "Eros Ramafiozi" is located here: goo.gl/maps/uKhh16zxr….

9 is 'Lilith and Olaf' also by Ella and Pitr (can't get enough of their work). This piece is located on a factory roof here: goo.gl/maps/fVQgPRTpx… in Klepp, Norway, as part of the 2015 Nuart Street Art Festival. Here's a video for scale:

10 is the "Sleeping Rosa" watching over the water in Rotterdam here: goo.gl/maps/CXchpRWS4…. Here's an aerial shot with a little more colour: instagram.com/p/Bynb1BhpOX-/.

11 is a different one, they are large 3D murals of 'daddy long-legs' spiders in Seattle. They can be seen on Google Maps/Earth here: goo.gl/maps/CLpqbBeuE…. The artist is Marlin Peterson (more here: marlinpeterson.com/murals/).

12 is another visually skewed mural at the Peachtree Center in Atlanta by German street artist '1010', located here: google.com/maps/@33.76038…. Here's more on the project: atlanta.curbed.com/2019/9/25/2088….

And finally, number 13, a full mural in Brighton, UK, on top of the Holiday Inn, here: goo.gl/maps/93fyGoKxZ…, by ART+BELIEVE @artbelieve ✌️
