The Brazilian duo Otavio and Gustavo known as “Os Gemeos” (The Twins) are a common reference for anyone with a basic understanding of urban art. They began to draw at the age of 4 and continued to develop their skills and style throughout their entire upbringing. In the 80’s, with the rise of the hip-hop culture the twins began to take matters more seriously. At the time, they were doing it all: fashion, break dancing and tagging. But it was during the 90’s they began to focus and develop the aesthetic they are most well known for today – bright colors, simple silhouettes with detailed shading and characters with angular eyes set apart. Otavio explains the art making process, “We plan the visual story before, then draw it on the wall. We each start at one end and we meet in the middle.” It is a very intuitive process between the two twin brothers because there is no talking involved.
Their most recent project was just completed, replacing a Keith Herring reproduction, land marking the corner of Bowery and Houston, in New York. It was a major attraction to passer byers to see them in their process. We caught up with the brother for a chat and some background. We even got to see some original sketches for this mural, and I wont lie – almost pulled it from Otavio’s hand and ran. lol!
And its again André and his graffiti character Mr. IX the star of this viral video for the Belvedere IX Vodka campaign. A pretty cool video where Mr. IX come to life and invades NY, from the Bowery Hotel to André’s own Club Beatrice. Its also interesting to see how the Belvedere IX campaign has been spread all over the internet, You cannot miss it ! From this viral video to the fully customed theme the campaign has been everywhere… Also a little exclu for you, André will open really soon his own club in LA, and you can never imagine where !? At the Magic Castle, yes sir!! Look forward to some crazy parties…
Patrick Rocha Jr is a young, 25yrs old emerging artist, son of surrealist painter Pat Rocha.

What I hate most about driving is that since I’m so focused on the road, alot of the time I’ll miss out on all the cool graffiti on the streets of LA. Melrose Avenue has served as a canvas for many street artists like Banksy and Shepard Fairey. Thanks to LAist for the photos, I hadn’t seen some of them yet!
Reverse graffiti artist is an interesting concept, considering that “Graffiti is the name for images or lettering scratched, scrawled, painted or any form of marking on property. Graffiti is often regarded by others as unsightly damage or unwanted vandalism.” ( Wikipedia) However, Alexandre Orion scours the streets of Sao Paulo in an effort to clean city property. This was a two week project where the artist selectively scrubbed soot from a tunnelto create an image of a cemetary of skulls, which represent his The skulls belong all to us. I wanted to bring a catacomb from the near future to the present, to show people that the tragedy of pollution is happening right now. I try to remind people of things they are trying to forget.”
Though he his “cleaning up,” the police are not the most cooperative and has been held up by gunpoint several times.
