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: https://goo.gl/maps/KGANS9CgeuSzVyZPA.
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: https://goo.gl/maps/Wpue1tDENv84A2Vv9. And you can find some of the other ones they did nearby here: https://xxlcollective.com/ella-pitr1 
Exhibit 3 (one of my favs) is Art Attack from Kitt Bennett in Reservoir, Victoria, Australia (here: https://goo.gl/maps/nc1CbxY8EkVnAmWc7). It is spread over three basketball courts. (original post here: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bc4AQUiBcmQ/ )
4 is 'Go To Bed', also by Kitt Bennett in Ascot Vale, Victoria here: https://goo.gl/maps/ZY4dvst6Wpbx9sYn7. Here's a cool timelapse of when it was made: https://www.instagram.com/p/BsSWqKvgWt8/ 
5 is a 300m long mural called '9 til 5'. Closer aerial shots can be seen here: https://www.instagram.com/p/B4rQ_yBJMue/ . The location of this one is here: https://goo.gl/maps/7hHbd8Bqc16GoJxh7 (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: https://goo.gl/maps/ghPCd6Bh9k4gu2Kj9 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: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bon5etQAejM/ 
7 is a magic carpet mural located in Charlotte, North Carolina (here: https://goo.gl/maps/gTgq47nX7ashKSNL9) by artists Jessie and Katey. You can see closeups here: https://www.instagram.com/p/BFuecNFGDpf/ 
8 is another one by @ellapitr. This time in Salerno Province, Italy. "Eros Ramafiozi" is located here: https://goo.gl/maps/uKhh16zxri8ozErG6.
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: https://goo.gl/maps/fVQgPRTpxtnko2ga8 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: https://goo.gl/maps/CXchpRWS41TfynmYA. Here's an aerial shot with a little more colour: https://www.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: https://goo.gl/maps/CLpqbBeuEVpErq298. The artist is Marlin Peterson (more here: http://marlinpeterson.com/murals/ ).
