James explains that he wants to create similar graffiti art and wall markings seen along the linha 11

Tom Hennigan from the Irish Times covered the whole story of the making of the mural and placed it wthin the context of graffiti art and pichação in São Paulo

The name was given in order to reflect urban tendencies

The original wall that was chosen for the mural project had to be sanded-down before applying the first layer
