Brazil 2011

Carnaval in Armacao, Florianopolis

I was lucky enough to spend 2 months in Brazil early 2011, here are most of the walls I painted while I was there. This was my second time there of about the same length of time, and again I found the people to be very friendly, and more or less open to public murals, especially in certain areas.

The foundation of this house was taken by the ocean, so I figured no one would care if I painted it, actually some hippies were squatting in there, but they were ok once we became friends.

Sao Paulo

Many thanks to Cena 7 and Adams 165 from Sao Bernardo do Campo for the hospitality and finding many walls, and Shock + Mica for the paint over in their area.  I painted the rhino in a 7 story squat house in Sao Paulo Centro,

Myself with Shock One.. find him on Flickr. He was wearing the same overalls and listening to the same hardcore metal from Australia as when we met 2 years ago… he may have an exhibition in Australia later this year…..

This Squat house or Okupa was 7 stories, and housed over 40 apartments, mostly families, so a lot of kids running around, thanks for the food and good times.

This was day 1 in Sao Paulo, using a type of can called Works, ( its equivalent in Australia of an Export can with a pink dot) but u manage….

Sao Paulo Casa de Hip Hop= Zona Loste

This is a youth house for Hip Hop culture, I was lucky enough to paint there during a party one day

Thanks to Cena 7 for helping with this image, and I never found out who painted that character by the door, after Onesto’s guy.

Rio de Janiero

This is Brazil, Football all day in the park with a band playing funk music, Rio is awesome, maybe I will be lucky enough to live there one day…. I met up with Aeon from Melbourne, and SWK a local old school graf artist and painted this wall up in Santa Teresa

The last day, hours before my flight, I found a wall on Ipanema beach, using a close by rubbish bin to stand on, some plastic moulded on top of sand to hold the roller paint, and sea water to dilute the thick latex.

I painted this wall with Jotape of the Pax crew, but still havent gotten a proper photo without half shadow….. de me uma foto JP!

This nice spot was on top of some kind of community housing, (maybe a squat?) but they had a nice garden up there in the centre of town, muito obrigado + many thanks to Jotape,  Yara, Trampo, Fernando, Nena, Guspe + the Donut Shop, Paulinho’s Salon, Legao Felipe, Thais, Gabriel+ Flavinha, Rita and everyone else in Porto Alegre!

Brazil 2011 Video

Thanks to Chris Smyly for making this , and Hozy, TiaCoca, and Grazi for helping out with this video, very much a good portrayal of that week, life isnt always that fun. Hopefully I’ll be able to make another video of footage from other parts of Brazil.

Brunswick Locals Only Project- Sydney Road

Some photos from an alley way project representing the colourful characters of Sydney Rd Brunswick, Late 2011… Thanks to  Barnicle B of Urban Enhancement, Bryan Itch, Prizak, Cam Scale, and that weirdo from the Tshirt shop.

Double Rainbow Wall

This wall is mostly Phib’s project, which I’m helping with, on the corner of Gertrude and Young st Fitzroy. We’ll finish it soon

Franga Wall

Just before the trip to Tokyo, I painted both sides of this wall in a skate park in Frankston. Thanks to all the guys who came down to paint and of course Franga Council.
