Sampa Graffiti

South American filmmaker Paulo Taman tipped me off about his fascinating series of documentaries covering the graffiti scene in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Here’s the latest one which focuses on the work of street artist Gen Duarte.

    I was actually commenting about the “greed and power” rings. But hey, the graffiti is cool also! ;)

    Gen Duarte’s works look even more awesome in full view (I follow the link to his gallery in flickr). Looks like he does paintings too.
