Instagram would rather be the network that has the beautiful pictures. That’s often true, even if it means overlooking the ads and all sorts of other nonsense. Lucas Levitan takes this nonsense and puts the finishing touches on it with his drawn additions. He calls it Photo Invasion.
You can also nominate yourself for the invasion by adding the hashtag #iwanttobeinvaded to your own picture. With around 114,000 photos currently using the hashtag, you can imagine how slim the chances are. In any case, the humour you see below is to be expected.
I had been following Lucas Levitan for a while when he announced his Kickstarter project to realise the printed version of his Photo Invasion. I didn’t have to think twice and backed it more than once, as I wanted the signed version for myself plus two more as possible gifts. Which meant I ended up being mentioned twice in the credits. A bit awkward, frankly.
Lucas Levitan now sells the books in his shop, along with some other really good items. One of my favourites is definitely the Wall Clock, if only it wasn’t sold out. Have a look at lucaslevitan.com and don’t hesitate. The book is available for just under 20 euros including postage. You can’t go wrong!
