Street art in Sao Paulo

Seen in Liberdade, SP
Sao Paulo has amazing street art and part of the popular culture. I even saw a girl with a Miro design tattooed on her arm.

This picture came from Liberdade (freedom in Portuguese), a Japanese part of Sao Paulo. The Japanese started coming to this area in 1912 and since 1950s the area has been growing exponentially. It now has the largest concentration of Japanese outside Japan.

I think street art must be 'legalised' as this man had no trouble with me taking a picture of him making his graffiti.

This piece was in the area near the university, between Liberdade and Avenue Paulista.
