Though I cull inspiration from a variety of sources--nothing strikes me quite like street art, graffiti, or urban scenes. There's something about using the city as your canvas. Just see Alexandre Orion's work. He mixes street painting and photography into poignant narratives.
And I think it's such a forward thinking policy that Brazil allows their citizens to create street art on abandoned buildings (provided that it is artistic and colorful). I imagine Sao Paolo must be a visually and graphically charged city. I can only imagine. I just added this book to my wish list, too.
