Last night Os Gemeos and Futura wrapped up production on their “Giant Project” mural in New York City. We stopped by this morning to check it out, and caught the whole crew. From their blog:

This past Sunday we began a new mural in Chelsea, on the exterior wall of PS 11 (320 West 21st street ) together with the legendary Futura2000. The project was organized by Allen Benedikt (from AKANYC and 12ozProphet.com) with support from Nike and Montana Colors and in conjunction with the World Basketball Festival. The idea was to bring a ‘Gigante’ to NY, as we’ve done in Greece, Holland, Lisboa, London and Sao Paulo. Uniting two different styles from opposite extremes was one of the challenges, as well as the objective. The idea was to unite two styles that are completely different so they become one. The concept behind the flags (with the colors completely altered from their originals) signifies unity, a world without borders, combined to form “one world one voice”. Without distinction to language or race, without social difference… Where we all can live in a better world. We also sought to establish a visual communication with the children of PS 11 and the surrounding community that walk by the mural each day. Futura working on the pattern for the shirt, which we hope will prove that two styles from different extremes can combine harmoniously….

The piece can be seen on the side of PS11 at 320 West 21st. Definitely head down and check it out in person if you have the chance!

Os Gemeos and Futura have nearly completed their “Giant Project” in New York City. Guided by AKANYC and 12ozProphet the large scale mural mates signature characters and techniques from both Futura and Os Gemeos. The artist that appears in the photos below is Gustavo. His partner Otavio was busy up in the cherry picker when we stopped by. They hope to have this piece finished by the end of the week.

Many of you might know that Futura is a huge baseball fan. Recently he worked with Nike Sportswear on a New York Yankees collection, including two Air Force 1 Hi’s and two Lo’s, as well as an apparel collection. The people from 12ozProphet sat down with the artist to talk about the project and give a closer look at the collection.

“In case you don’t already know, Futura is a massive baseball fan and has frequently collaborated with Nike over the years, so bringing him on board once again for this latest Be True installment was a natural fit. The result is a capsule collection released by Nike Sportswear in cooperation with the New York Yankees. The collection is inspired by a genuine love for sport and showcases an entirely new remix of Yankees graphics, slogans and iconography released on both apparel and footwear.”
