More "Petroglyph" Style Graffiti

I like how the graffiti traces a circle, the radius of a human arm, around the window.

These last three are from my neighborhood, Pinheiros. I have to give credit to my mom for saying the local style of graffit resembles petroglyphs. Update Jan 06:The name for this style of graffit is pichação. I learned this while browsing the book Graffiti Brasil in a museum's bookstore. Of course there's lots of stuff on Google and Flickr about this such as an article from Eye Magazine from 2001, this fantastic photo of a building covered in pichação, a whole flickr set on pichação, and more generally the flickr photopool Brasil Graffiti.

Hi. I'm a 32 year-old American currently living in Buenos Aires. Before that I lived in California, Sao Paulo and New York and if you browse through the archives below you can see photos of all those places. I also have an old geocities page with some outdated information but also more photos of Buenos Aires, friends and my 9/11 pictures.
