Wow! Nice, and what a coincidence, since I'm currently watching an amazing documentary (literally, viewing it as I type) called "Bomb It", which has an entire segment on this style and culture. A recent issue of Juxtapoz does a great photo documentary subject on this as well! Way to go Pixo!
Steve, thanks. I looked up pixação at the Juxtapoz web site find this recent post - http://www.juxtapoz.com/7628-Pixo-short-version-documentary. The online video included in the post is great, even though I have no idea what it is talking about.
