Colorful Favela Paintings in Santa Marta
Sequestered within the city of Rio de Janeiro, two men are giving the poor, compact community of Santa Marta a radiant makeover. Jeroen Koolhaas and Dre Urhahn originally came to the favelas of Brazil in 2005 to film a documentary about hip hop for MTV, but after MTV left, they decided to stay. Soon after, the Dutch duo known simply as Haas&Hahn began Favela Painting, an organization dedicated to bringing “outrageous works of art to unexpected places.” And if you think they’re doing this on their own accord, they aren’t. Local youths are employed as an integral part of their various projects.
This is they last project in Santa Marta. Approximately 7000 square feet, spread over 34 houses.

Realistic Paper Sculptures
The artists Patty and Allen Eckman use their original method to make realistic paper sculptures. Not to be confused with papier-mache. These are two completely different environment. Artists first mixed acid-free pulp, using raw cotton, which lie in form, compressed or vacuum in their hands. In doing so, moisture is gradually removed, but the process of drying up very long. When a cast is removed from the form, then begins the process of fine-tuning, the most delicate. Some parts are removed, some added. By ensuring a very fine study of the details.

Graffiti Castle in Scotland
Kelburn castle is prominently located on the west coast of Scotland, 35 miles west of Glasgow, overlooking the sea. Parts of the building are in need of repair, but funds have recently been secured to begin an extensive restoration, that includes the removal of the external render, allowing the opportunity to use the present surface as a vast temporary canvas. This has inspired the idea for this once in a lifetime project and an opportunity to be part of a truly unique and original event that has world wide media potential. It is thought to be the oldest castle in Scotland to have been continuously inhabited by the same family.
