  1. No, just another guy spray painting nonsense trying to build a brand. He says he is an artist, but imo, I wouldn’t consider art anything that he does.

  2. Também vi. Na Baixa-Chiado há uns poucos. Deve ter sido algum estrangeiro que decidiu fazer isso por piada. Também já vi isso em versão autocolantes.

  3. It an art co op rot king together to build brand recognition. When I was in Portugal, I had the same question after seeing it around. Then I typed it into Google and got the answer. Also, I think there’s literally a website on most of the tags and stickers.

  4. Apparently, from what I’ve gathered, some poor sod has nothing better to do with his life than tag buildings to attempt to build a brand so he can sell some, in my opinion, needlessly expensive merch. Like, really, a fucking hoodie for 110€? Even if it weren’t overpriced, it just seems like such a desperate attempt to become “the next big thing”. Also, he seems to use his website to advertise what seems to be an workout gym (they don’t tell you the location until you’ve signed up, and it’s apparently in an abandoned police station in Anjos), a restaurant (claims to be a “clandestine dinner”, also doesn’t tell you the location until you’ve made a reservation), themed costumed-dinner-parties and surf classes. Also, apparently he also collabs with a beer manufacturer called Musa.

    Way I see it, it’s someone who is trying to start businesses by tagging places to increase awareness of his brand. So, you know, commiting illegal acts to make your business more well known, a really bright idea.
