This is a nice change - For a project titled O Estrangeiro (The Stranger), Os Gemeos collaborated with Plasticiens Volants on a publilc performance that involved their character being blown up as a parade float! The result is awesome. As per São Paulo usual, this was captured by Lost Art. This is just a teaser, go see the rest of the set!

You can also see the painting of the mural that goes along with this performance here.
Lost Art has some great preview / behind-the-scenes photos for the ‘Dedentroparafora’ (Inside/Out) show at MASP in São Paulo, Brazil, featuring Zezão, Titi Freak, Daniel Melim, Ramon Martins, Carlinhos Dias and Stephan Doitschinoff (aka Calma). View part one here and part two here.

We dig seeing artists at work, especially in timelapse form, so we were jazzed to catch one by one of our favorite São Paulo artists Urso Morto. Urso Morto’s website is coming soon, so for now check his flickr for more. Here’s the video and some of his street work we caught while in the city.
I dig the music selection
No mercy
Happy Easter!

Great new piece from Feik in a vacant lot in Barra Funda, São Paulo - We’re super digging this army of creatures!
Coolhunting did this great video about the Grafica Fildalga press, in São Paulo, Brazil, and the guys behind it - these fellas are using a 1929 letterpress and hand-carved wood letters and doing it with lots of love. I’ve seen their output and it is fantastic - this video is a must see.
Choque Cultural in São Paulo has a good show opening this weekend - a tribute to lettering with an awesome line-up.
If you’re down there check it out!
So nice — From Handselecta comes two videos of one of Os Gemeos doing his handstyle:
