Brooklyn’s own FUTURA just visited Mexico City and here we have a few pics of him working on a new wall there. The graff master and abstract fine artist has reached such celebrity status that just showing up and being his humble charming self makes a lot of people in the graffiti and Street Art scene really happy. When he collaborates on a project with cans, as he did here with Mexican artist XGutetto 666 (from Da Flow Team) it’s even better.

As organizers of the collaboration, the peeps at All City Canvas asked FUTURA to create a piece for their new project called Global Series. They tell BSA, “We were stoked to have landed such a legend for this project.” We are most appreciative for these exclusive few pics for BSA readers.
