While loitering around the port area of La Boca in Buenos Aires we came across this awesome paste-up high up on the side of a warehouse. The football player portraits were made of newspaper pages, and all the tonal areas were defined by the amount of darkness on each page. It was an awesome piece, well 3 actually, and must have taken absolutely ages to plan. As you can see from the zoomed out pics they are very large pieces. Really impressive stuff.
