Artist Matt W. Moore recently returned from São Paulo where he stayed for one month to prepare for his first South American solo exhibition - from scratch. He arrived with no art, no supplies, and no plan for his new series of paintings. The idea for his work actualized during his stay, as he absorbed the culture and vibrant surroundings of the Brazilian city.

The collection (17 large canvases and a mega mural) was done entirely in spray paint, but appears close to digital with its surprisingly clean details.

Pretty cool, huh.

For the last year or so, my friend Amy and I have been talking about traveling abroad for an extended vacation. One of the locations that came up recently was ... drumroll, please ...

BRAZIL!

Now, I would have to turn about 80 shades of tan darker and workout incessantly to feel even remotely comfortable around all the beautiful Brazilian women, but otherwise I think it would be pretty wonderful. So, I did some digging around...

How amazing would it be to stay here?! Unreal.

Happy Friday :)
