NOVE - são paulo, brasil


Wooster Collective recently featured a photograph of a mural by street artist NOVE of Sao Paulo. I loved the painting, so I did some digging and found some more of his work on Flickr. Very cool stuff--a lot of it is very reminiscent of Murakami, whose work also makes me want to board a spaceship full of adorable, colorful woodland creatures.

caterpillar, vackra och groteska


This is so beautiful, and so disgusting: Dagen då larverna kom till Flogsta

The Swedish translates as "These are the End Times When All Man's Works Fail."
