Groovy wood panels(Group News)

My friends at Quanta Art Academy (Marcelo Campos' school) have been promoting several comic-related events around libraries and universities here in São Paulo. In these events they've also led some quick and awesome painting workshops, on wood panels and walls - a couple of them pictured above.

Several artists from the school that participated in these events have been creating some great street panels and furniture, so they've integrated this "street-art", sort of speak, into these events.

You can check out some of their work on the following links.
They really are great people and I truly enjoy their work.
