More shots here 28millimetres.com/women/

Why would he get shot, most graffiti/Street art in Brazil is legal.

F*ckin' amazing! The face in the middle slightly to the upper left above the one with buggy eyes, looks like the faces that Ethos does. Thanks for that Felix!

[shower]

that is amazing, seriously amazing!

Out of all the places in the world to paste, that is a pretty risky looking spot!

(Although I admit I haven't been to Brazil and got most of my education from City of God plus the extras on the DVD)

Thanks Whatson

I can't believe JR is 25, the work he has done here and after reading more about it - he is raising the stakes at a young age. There needs to be more people like this to push things forward.

That is amazing and must have taken some balls.

I've been to the favelas in Rio and actually had a gun held to me when leaving a club that the hostel had taken us to. True story.s**t scary at the time but has now become one of my favourite drinking stories! ;D

[Martin Whatson]

It looks like he has taken photos of the people living nearby the spots of where they where pasted later on.

JR has raised the bar. Took my breath away. Its Scale is awesome yet at the same time it is humane and intimate. None of the recent facile political dross from Fairey and co has ever been as political as this in bringing the plight of real people to the fore.

brilliant

Too true.

I cant get over the sheer scale of JR's work...it's normally huge but this is truly taking it to another level!

[Guest]

Thanks for the great post Felix. Truly amazing work!

[felix]

Don't thank me, thank JR I think everyone should buy his book and poster to support him

www.crakedz.com/shop/face2face-book-poster-p-136.html

Plus it's a great little book and poster.

[spirit]

You mean apart from Santa's Ghetto 07

[Rsyok]

It is fantastic work, takes a while for the scale to sink in. I remember walking past his shoreditch eye and almost being knocked over when I realised what is was.
(funny I posted a similar thread yesterday @3pm must have the missed forum rush hour)

[Macdeee]

Crazy.... He just gets better and better with Time. I wish he could use better paste though cause most of the London pieces have part ripped and fallen down or all fallen off.

[timba82]

that is simply amazing.

the thought and tenasity to go ahead with this is incredible!

street piece of the year is an understatement

[T.Magic]

F*@! Me!!!

This is the BEST street art pieces I've seen since Banksy hit up the Palestine Wall!!!

Kudos to JR for raising the bar

[fuzzed]

That is amazing! Great work from JR.

[Rsyok]

The Flavelas must now be the most beautiful slum in the world.

Crackedz were going to get signed Jr posters soon, no sign yet.

[Daniel Silk]

Amazing!

Imagine the impact that would make if it was done on that scale in the UK ;D
