Lovely artwork, I went to a graffiti exhibition here in the UK, it was interesting! Love the last print Speto inspired by woodcuts, they look like papercuts don't they?
I am a fan of street art as well. I have a fourteen year old who is dabbling and we have debates, albeit one-sided, about vandalism vs art - tagging vs graffiti. All very complicated.
Oh my goodness!! I love street art, I mean LOVE! There is a long avenue in Tucson, called 4th Avenue and it connects to downtown Tucson through a short tunnel. I like to walk through the tunnel and I find the best street art there!! Someone just did a spray painting of Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany's on the sidewalk, I almost didn't want to walk over it, I'll have to take pictures for you!!! I wish I could go to Brazil for the exhibit with you!
That last one's a pearler...
