I just saw on the website of the 400ml magazine, which I´m doing with a friend, that one of my favorite graffiti artists of all times, Claudio Ethos just had an exclusive interview with the guys at the Juxtapoz Mag, check it !

His style and creativity are so unique that makes me proud just to live in the same country as him! I can tell you that it´s amazing to walk on the streets and be faced wiht one of his works !

Ethos rullez!!!

Just had a chat with my pal and amazing artist, Yusk . Who´s in Holland / Rotterdam to paint an enormous building with some other brazilian artists such as Ramon Martins and Dalata.

I went to Yusk´s blog  to find more about this project and all we can see so far is some shots of the exterior ready to be painted and the blueprint of the building, that used to be a factory but now is a building filled with design offices and advertising agencies inside.

The red marked part is where he´s supposed to be painting in a few days. Can´t wait to see it done!

And still on his blog you´ll see a historical shot of him and … guess who ???

Martha Cooper !!! Who´s touring all around  to promote and to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the legendary book Subway Art by Martha Cooper and Henry Chalfant !

Still in Rotterdam, she went to the Street Science Festival and put up some amazing shots of it on her blog at the 12ozprophet website.

 ” While Street Science workshops, panels and battles were happening inside Watt, artists from around
the world were painting the wall outside the building. ”

 “Only problem—permission had been requested but
not granted. Apparently some neighborhood residents called the cops.”

 “(…) Painting continued. Round one goes to: artists!”

“…the 2nd annual Street Science festival organized
by Hip Hop Huis. This year’s theme celebrated the past, present and future of Hip Hop through
performances, workshops, battles, panels and after parties. ”

“Hip Hop’s founding father, DJ Kool Herc rocked the house ‘til da break of dawn at the Brand New
Old School Party held at Watt on Saturday night, the highlight of the Street Science Festival.”

Words and photos by Martha Cooper.

Check’em all here !

The artist Prakrti (also known as Sliks) had been posting some beautiful arts including  beautiful nature inspired canvas, graffitis and his new works on wood and garbage that he finds on the streets and paints to express his support to recycling !

He also sent me some awesome flicks of his latest works.

More of Prakrti’s on his blogspot.

Keep thinking green !

Last week the Mube ( Brazilian Museum of Esculpture) oppened its doors to the Graffiti art of nine talented artists of the street art scene.

Binho, Does, Dalata were the first three to show their works at the walls of the museum .

The entrance

DALATA

DOES

BINHO

The first to catch your eyes getting inside the museum was BINHO.

Right next to him was DOES.

Detail of his legendary wild style.

Next to it was DALATA. One of my favorite graffiti artists of all times!

Who painted the most impressive work I´ve seen on a wall lately.

Crazy details fills his works with figures and faces.

The next three to present are Anjo, Graphis and Cern from  NYC . And after them Chivitz, Nove and Presto.

Keep tuned !

A few more photos I took on the walk through one of my favorite places on earth, Cambuci!

Where the beauty of the graffitis mixes with the ugliness of poverty and violence and homeless people, it makes you feel that you are living in a real world, and is not so pretty but not that bad at all !

It still has so many amazing things to offer, works like that coming from people who lives this reality every day proves how bigger than we know is the capability of the human being to improve itself to achieve greater things, no matter what, where or who !

OsGemeos, Lixomania

A cop came to me and said : ” I´m warning you YOU´RE GONNA GET MUGGED! You should put your camera away or you will get mugged! ”

When people realized we were photographing the graffitis they just looked at us and let us do what we were doing, I think they felt we were connected somehow, on the streets respect has a hole different meaning, you gotta be real to stay real !

Nove

OsGemeos

Finok

OsGemeos, Finok, Ise

My most favorites are the works from OsGemeos back in the days…these are treasure for the graffiti fanatics!

Keep your roots strong!

Gladly our country is known for having the most incredible graffitis around the world, and thanks for that most of the best artists of the streets come down here to be part of that and contribute to our open air gallery!

Among the kings of the graffiti art there´s two artists from Chile, not really sure if they´re both were born there, but still they represent another country with some of these amazing talents and graffitis on the streets, I´m talking about the masters GRIM and CEKIS.

Who recently visited our blessed country and chaotic city, Brazil – Sao Paulo. And, luckly for us, painted on one of the best ‘street galleries’, which is the neighborhood where  OsGemeos live, called Cambuci.

Always pays off to go there !

Took a lot of pics and had the visual pleasure to see an awesome pannel from Cekis and Grim together!

Keep’em coming!

I´ve been working on the 400ml mag, so I haven´t had much time to take care of other things…but I´ve been missing here so much…so I´ll give you a little preview of what I´ve been doing lately.

I recently went to meet my good old friend who turned into one of the best hip hop Djs that we have here in Brazil right now, producing with the best Mcs around and kicking ass on the beats.

So I went to check his performance at the  club Studio SP, that has arts all over the place, very cool stencil, stickers and graffiti artists decorated it and turned into a gallery night club, that always have awesome performances, like Dj Mako himself, and others.

Check out his Myspace!
