Update: Os Gemeos & Blu in Lisbon
So here’s the finished product of Os Gemeos and Blu’s hook up in Lisbon, with a shot of a neighbouring building Blu took over.And check out Blu’s not-too-subtle dig and the life-draining oil industry.
Beyond magnificent (worth going to Lisbon for…)

Os Gemeos & Blu, Lisbon
As an extra treat in addition to their current exhibition at the Museu Colecção Berardo, Os Gemeos have teamed up Italian street art legend Blu to do this. Which quite frankly looks set to be one of the most stunning street art installations, oh I dunno… EVER… on it’s completion. Guaranteed we’ll be updating the finished product.Absolutely incredible. Truly there are Gods among us. Gods I say!

… And there goes another one!
“Within hours of it going up in Long Island City, another Banksy piece has been vandalized by OMAR, once again leaving various street art forums sitting shiva and inflicting another casualty in NYC’s graffiti wars”Via Animal
The One That Got Away…
“Destroying Banksy’s work before some douche bag gallery owner knocks it down to put into the art market is a Fucking Blessing. Does this make OMAR cool? No, but that’s not the point. The “artist” that did this is not significant to me, it’s the immediate commodity that was destroyed. If you miss the original Banksy piece, just look at a JPEG.”Could not have said better myself. Just one commentator’s opinon on OMAR’s desecration of NYC’s latest Banksy, which won’t be finding it’s way into any gallery anytime in the near future…
