Take a look. Yup, they did the same at the Kelburn Castle (http://atlasobscura.com/place/kelburn-castle) which were painted by Osgemeos, Nina Pandolfo and Nunca. Take a look.

About the brazilian twins' work at the Wynwood walls, this "something" that doesn't come together is maybe because it's a team work. Not only osgemeos, but Nina Pandolfo and Finok had worked on it. The sweetness lovely part is Pandolfo's contribution :) Hi.

Thanks for writing about us, it's nice to know that people who were there were moved. I think your reaction to Freedia is a common one, but those of us from New Orleans know her to be part of a larger movement of gay/trans rappers that call themselves Sissies (thus informally giving birth to their own sub genre of "Bounce" music called (affectionately) "Sissy Bounce"). They're queer artists working in an environment that not only supports them but has driven them to the top of New Orleans' rap scene. Shows by Big Freedia, Katey Red, Sissy Nobby and Vockah Redu are the best attended rap shows (by gays and straights) in the city and their songs routinely break out at number one on the major local rap stations. It's so much fun to bring this stuff to the outside world and Deitch's generosity meant a lot to us...as does your commentary...
