Sao Paolo’s streets and skylines are free of ads thanks to the Clean City legislation, but that hasn’t stopped local artists from doing what they can to spread other kinds of messages. This little piece of artwork pulled from the Sao Paulo streets (and posted on our Design Showcase by the lovely Bethany) would probably make Crispin Porter (who’s behind the Truth campaign) pee themselves; what an awesome way to combine a heavy message with total simplicity! No word on who the artistic mastermind behind this is (Phuong-Cac; is it YOU?), but should they happen to run across this post we’d all like to say: Please, oh please, keep this up!

Update: Creds on this piece go to 6EMEIA- though whether that refers a one man show or a group collab I can’t tell. If you’re in possession of a little skill called “Portugese” and feel like doing a bit more research for us, my name is linked to the 6EMEIA site. Let us know if you find anything.
