Crisis is hitting hard everywhere and Portugal is no exception. These posters were released on general strike day. The motivation behind the posters, pics and video inside. Although all of the news are more than 2 or 3 years old, it still matters. The campaign is out on the streets of Lisboa.

Just got this in the mail. It kind of reminds me something, I just don’t know what…

A car park in Cais do Sodré, Lisboa has just suffered a little modification during the night. Yesterday morning, a car park official gave notice that all the spots were marked for handicap people, making it a handicap exclusive park. Confused, she called EMEL to confirm if these had been done by them…

“I’m better, thank you” is a piece that’s just been found in Lisboa. Hit me up if you know who the author is.
This just made me smile.
UPDATE: DedoNoGatilho has a pic from 2006, so this means this piece has stood up for 4 years, which is even more impressive!

A brilliantly executed piece in Anjos by collective CC, for a typical view of what’s seen on the streets of Lisboa. If you don’t know, Securitas is a security/vigilante company and this is exactly what these ladies do all day on the porches of the windows. They patrol the streets, one phone away to call the police. I remember I used to play soccer on the street, and this lady always called the police whenever we were there. Of course by the third day she did that again, police didn’t bother anymore.
Use your calls wisely “senioritas”.

Now this might not be a new image around the blog, but the message it comes with is new. Adres did this piece for a while, but some days ago someone left this note next to the piece. Jump inside to read it:

Since most of you may know, today is the day most americans will have the pleasure of watching one of most talked about movies in the art world this year. But as expected, Portugal is not looking for a brighter future in the waiting line of the countries that will host the movie. I mean, what’s the percentage of Portuguese people who know Banksy, and would thus make a good share of possible audience for the Portuguese cinema? On the other hand, if it was a Cristiano Ronaldo movie…

Arrested Motion just gave notice some days ago, of an awesome takeover TrustoCorp is about to do.
What TrustoCorp has been doing lately plus this yet to see takeover, make me smile all day. Keep on!

All these latest Trustocorp signs spotted in Texas are making my day. Wow!

And to prove that I am not stopped, and that this website is indeed intended to improve, I have started to work on some new features.

So, I am finally proud to annonce that this website can now be fully viewed in 1080 Full HD, and that the 3D version is still available inside all the posts.
