I thought they were Dutch

hehehe
they are almost unknown here in Brasil, because graffiti art is very marginalized, unfortunately.

mmmm
So, "The London Police" is their name and "os gemeos" is a character of theirs?! OK, I got it.

I misunderstood it, because there's this brazilian twins... "os gêmeos", but their work is quite different.

What I like about both is the thought going into this street art. We're 'collecting' it with our cameras. The urban setting truly becomes a gallery (if the work is this good). I only know of Keith Haring and Banksy who truly made the cross over, but I'm sure there'll be more

I also hope there's more in future, prejudice is falling. Pop art must be free and present in our day by day life
