Cheers, it makes a nice change from all the Neate/Money/Flipper threads

These guys are incredible hey,

Tristan Manco's 'Grafitti Brasil' has lots of their work in it, and is well worth checking out.
There's a lovely story in the book about a bar owner in Brasil who had them paint a character on the wall of his bar, but then had to paint over it after repeated nightmares.

If anyone has any of their work I'd be happy to hear from you

[corblimeylimey]

I've just bought a copy of the book, thanks alancraig.

usually have some pieces available. very nice people.

[corblimeylimey]

Looks like they've got two pieces, both are huge (about 2 metres)

these guys are my favorite artists, after dan baldwin. they have done nike ads and have even had nike 'os gemeos' trainers made. shame i will probably never be able to afford a canvas. cbl you'll love that book, had it for a while, some cool stuff.

[Alan Craig]

No worries Corblimey, you'll love the book, all Tristan's books are fantastic.
Have contacted this gallery in the past mwjm0, but a nice reminder to get back in touch, so thanks.
I'm pretty sure the large canvases are gone
Pequeno príncipe, 2005
Sem titulo, 2005

These guys really are the business though, always on the lookout for some of their work.
have a good one guys

[Existencil]

Yeah, makes a change having some truly original topics on the forum. Their stuff is great!

Any possibility of them and yourself working together on a print, or selling originals?

[saajid22]

i pm'd tristan about getting them to do a print a number of months ago, he told me no chance as they are represented by the big boys in the USA.

thanks for pointing this out, imo the best street artists there are. this book is likely to be stunning.

[neutral]

Mmmm, I don't get them at all but each to their own.

[Trismanco]

Its a great book - I bought a few copies from the Museum shop - www.hetdomein.nl/ - but its complicated to buy from them, bank transfer etc. This site looks a lot easier...

[sausageboonwee]

love their work

[skanky]

They are right up their with the very best IMO . They have just had an other amazing exhibition in Madrid.

Where can we buy their pieces? How much are they?

[skanky]

Very hard to get hold of and very pricey. Best to look out for their next exhibition.

i have emailed them a few times, communicating is very dificult as their English is poor and my Portuguese is non excistant. they also take for ever to get back to you. in fact they didnt get back to me after my last email.
they arent cheap, i believe your looking at at least £10k for a canvas, but that may have changed. id love to have them paint the side of my garage, i reckon the bigger the work the better it is with them, bit like Blu in that regard.
