The ginormous figure measures over seven stories tall and from what you […]

Os Gemeos is definitely on a roll after working with another legend, Blu, in Lisbon just a little while ago in May. Now, New York will have not one but two murals from the Brazilian duo.

With stylewriting – or graffiti, as its early detractors called it – history has repeated itself […]
