When you think of places around the world to find Artists, cities like New York, Paris, and Tokyo come to mind. Certain places just have that type of atmosphere. I didn’t think twice about São Paulo, Brazil being a cradle for a art to play in. I stumbled across a very talented Brazilian designer and had the opportunity to chat with him about being an Artist in Brazil.
