Brazilian Graffiti Artists Go to Extraordinary Lengths to Leave Their Mark

Correspondent Stephen Gibbs is in Sao Paulo exploring pichação, the most recent graffiti craze on the streets of Brazil. The graffiti incorporates the use of gothic lettering. The 'artists' go to extraordinary and even illegal lengths to leave their mark in the most visible places around one of the world's largest cities.

Viva a pixação, conhecida no mundo inteiro, mas só presente no Brasil, aqui São Paulo - União dos 13 União entre loccos

[@marinacarvalho4022]

come on first of all, São Paulo is not Brazil's capital, its Brasilia, and then, the subtitles on the interviews do not correspond to the original.

[@BEPBRA]

Sao Paulo ain't Brazil's capital!!!!!!!!

[@chekmaytful]

on the streets we are all equal...we are all trying to communicate something through our art..being pixo or traditional graffiti
