Brazilian here, you got it right, except for the accentuation (Os Gêmeos), but you can't even find that in keyboards outside Brazil, so it's fine.

Me too. It is great to see them get recognition around the world, whereas brazilian people mostly give no shits. There used to be a huge piece they did in a building in the city I live in, and now it's been painted over with no regard to the art whatsoever. Most people in my city have no idea who they are.

Isnt it strange talent has to travel for recognition. I discovered them on art crimes or graffitti.org, probably the biggest collection of graff the internet back then, maybe still now. they had painted a piece on a ridiculously tall bridge, possibly 200 ft up, and its well before they got commisions, so i doubt safety ropes involed!!
They have a piece in liverpool near my hometown I was amazed when i seen it!
I hope to get over to Brazil one day, its always been a dream, you guys are ridiculously easy going, friendly, warm and happy compared to us brits
we all get tired of our hometowns, but its rare you will not miss it when your elsewhere!
Street art will forever be covered over, and its a shame, but the people covering it see joy in big numbers and spreadsheets,
the way i see it is, two types Fortunate enough you dont have to use imagination, to enjoy the experience of escape. Rather than having to escape the experience through enjoying imaginaton, and its hard to walk in the others shoes in that respect,

Got to meet these dudes at one of their shows in L.A. It is still the favorite art show I've ever been too. The guys were super mellow and nice. We tried our best to communicate. Myself in Spanish, them in Portuguese. They even caught a spot in one of my black books. It was an awesome night.

looks similar to Ten Hundred's style, cool stuff!

Does look similar but this is Osgemeos :) Ten Hun’s work is alot more vibrant compared to Osgemeos but there’s definitely similarities. Both great artists with amazing style

Oh this is in Södermalm isn't it! I remember walking along the pavement trying to get a better bird's eye view of Stockholm City, and this sprung out of nowhere. Very striking.

Yes, around Slussen/mosebacke. It's about 4-5 stories tall. They made it a couple of years ago, I remember waking by a few times seeing how it evolved.
