Herbert Baglione

I was gonna post about the amazing artwork of Herbert Baglione and saw that Juxtapoz did me one better and dug up a fantastic interview with Baglione in Sao Paolo, Brazil. The interview is from The Run UP series put together by Fifty24SF Gallery and Upper Playground. Love the opening with Baglione drawing in the sand and the waves erasing the work. “…it’s not what you show people but how it makes you feel inside”.

I snagged a few images of his work, below:

Bruno 9Li

A little while ago I recieved an email from Rodolfo Naka, a Brazilian graphic designer and member of a Brazilian art collective called Idéia Forte. Nakakubo and the collective just finished up a great documentary about contemporary Brazilian artist, Bruno 9Li. This is a must-watch.

Rainbow War!

This was the last thing I posted right before the blogs got removed from Hypebeast.com – I don’t think many people got to see it so I wanted to post it again here. This film was created for Expo ’86 here in Vancouver and was nominated for an Academy Award. I remember having to watch this pretty much every year all the way through elementary school.
Fans of Whose Line is It Anyways might recognize Ryan Stiles and Colin Mochrie! This is up there with my favourite films from the 80′s – right up there with Brazil. Actually there are quite a few similarities between this film and Brazil, although Brazil never had a trojan fire hydrant in it!
Enjoy.

Love from Brazil.

Sao Paulo Brazil has its own version of Tim Barnard in the form of the artist duo Mulheres Barbadas. The two self-described “bearded ladies” take turns drawing until the page is full – love this idea! Their portfolio includes lots of music packaging and work for Coca Cola and MTV. Enjoy a few more images after the jump.
