Greetings from Rio
Today Coxsoft Art received an e-newsletter from Jeroen Koolhaas and Dre Urhahn in Rio de Janeiro. Quote:
"Here’s a quick update on our latest project, ‘Favela Painting: Rio Cruzeiro’, a 2000m2 painting of a river in traditional Japanese style running through Vila Cruzeiro, one of the most notorious slums in Rio de Janeiro. The design was made in collaboration with the Amsterdam based tattoo artist Rob Admiraal. When we are not hiding from gunbattles between the local drug gang and the police, we are working on the insanely huge painting together with a group of local youths. Depending on the weather and the political situation we hope to finish the painting within the next couple of months."
Looks like William Morris to me, guys (title link).

Hi, Julakim
Glad you liked the post. My ancient PC can't handle videos, so I'll give that a miss, thanks.
The project looks really interesting and could have some social benefits too. I hope the people who live there appreciate it.
The patterns I saw on your blog strongly reminded me of William Morris designs, as I said in my post. Click the William Morris Gallery graphic in my sidebar to see what I mean.
Let me know when it's completed. And good luck dodging the bullets!
