Nina Pandolfo of Brazil combines cute with concrete as one of Sao Paulo's best female graffiti artists. In addition to making street art, she also works on canvas and in other mediums. She's an accomplished sculptor, and has been showing her work since the early 1990s, when she introduced the world to her wild imagination by painting directly onto the walls of her native city of São Paulo. 

These days, she's asked to paint her murals — sometimes as a means of luring art lovers into the gallery — and is enjoying a professional art career.

All About the Artists – Faile Art Collective

Following the style of Shepherd Fairey (Andre the Giant Has A Posse), Patrick McNeil of Canada, Patrick Miller of the US, and Lady Aiko Nakagawa of Japan formed the New York arts collective Faile in 2000. Inspired by the resurgence in street art around them, the trio (all art school grads) took to wheatpasting their adopted hometown — as well as cities around the world — using little more than ingenuity and student loans. When adulthood caught up with them a few years later, and the collective realized it needed to sustain itself with earned monies, the three branched out into other fields, including fashion, woodworking, mural making and print sales.

Today, they have 4 books published, and are still showing art around the world.
