So, I went there…and I saw some great paintings :

                      by Leo.

But talking about ‘STREET art’ the one who really caught my eyes was the brazilian artist called  BUGRE :                          

“Sputum” …if you’re wondering about the name: here is why!  

 And “Tamires”.  The skull detail on the shoulder is great!

He really did an amazing job taking his street’s style to the canvas.

Just so you know what I´m talking about:

Bugre at the streets of Sao Paulo.

 …now you see what I mean!

Brazilian Street Artists and all the STREET artists out there: Keep it *REAL!

One more photo that I just got today of that last graffiti updated!

(Thanks mr. fran!)

While you were sleeping, I rocked the club with Miss Janette Slack from London. This shot from around 5:30am.

And someone started showing their face back on the streets of Melbourne…

You snooze, you lose.

Yesterday I went to a cultural center for the young community , which had an exhibition of URBAN TIPOGRAPHY , with walls painted by some of our best graffiti writers :

Done by NEM – A master in “dope letters” style !

Done by ICONE – A piece lover ! Who organized the whole thing.

This project had the purpose of introducing Urban Tipography such as 3d , wild style , semi wild style(piece) , bomb , grapixo e pixação ( these last 2 are originally from Brazil/SP).

Done by DOES – his legendary wild style !

Done by GAFI – Nice 3D style !

Done by BRAVOS – Grapixo :born in Brazil , it  says : ” Sao Paulo is like that…” !

 Yes, it is ! …and we´re proud of it!

We had the absolute pleasure of hosting Hong Kong x London mixtress of breakbeat Janette Slack play down in Melbourne with us over the weekend. She took the scissors to a NiceProduce Woman’s Classic and did a damn fine job at customising the fit!

We will miss you Janette! Save travels, and see you soon!

Set to be one of the biggest Australian art shows of the decade, Two’s 1,000 cans features in a 5 page preview in the current issue of Desktop.

So I have the awesome job of moving house. Again. In the midst of cleaning out my studio, I found unopened boxes of Trexi Series 1 and Series 2. They’re back on NiceProduce so get on them, they are 3 years old and rare as. Gotta love the little gems.

Nice to meet all the Nice People out there !!!
I´m Miss G from Brazil, Sao Paulo, which is the hometown of such ‘legends’ as OsGÊMEOS. I´d like use my time on Grass Roots to introduce you all to the other amaaaazing up and coming artists that we have here and create a bridge between the two cultures.

*KEEP IT UP…and *NICE !!!

 My back. From the wall to the skin.

NINA on the streets of Sao Paulo.

…just a taste of…BRAZIL.

More to come.

Over the last 2 years Japan born, Melbourne artist Two has been painting empty spray cans every day to create a collection of 1,000 hand painted can’s.

I just came back from Two’s studio where we cracked some celebratory beer because today he painted the 1,000th can.

From his early crude stuff to the 1,000th can, he’s become an absolute master from this rigourous training.

Took some shots, but left the camera at his studio so i’ll post them tomorrow.

Until then heres some stuff from around the 500 can mark.

And some from around 700

We’re shooting the entire collection on Tuesday so stay tuned.

You will be hearing allot more about this show in the next month, including news of a NICE T-shirt pack by Two.
