Pretty Lights + Graffiti

Pretty Lights, an electro, hip hop and funk one-man-band, has just announced that he will be creating a score for an independent film about graffiti called Graffiti Fine Art. Derek Vincent Smith, the genius behind Pretty Lights is not doing the entire album, but he is using songs from his own record label as well.

Yes, this one man not only gives his music away for free, but also is lined up for a plethora of music festivals this summer, opened up his own record label and is now in charge of a film score.

The short documentary showcases a two year observation of the Sao Paulo graffiti scene.

Jared Levy, the primary film maker, posted an extended preview and some background info on the film.

"In that two year time frame I have learned a great deal about Brazil, São Paulo, the local graffiti scene as well as graffiti on an international level. I have traveled across Brazil, to my hometown of NYC and as far as the Middle East to film famous artists spend a few hours painting a wall."

So what exactly is going down? 65 artists from 13 different countries came to Brazil to paint the walls of the MuBE museum. They all came eight days prior to the exhibits premier, a very short time to paint masterpieces.

Nice Produce is one of the only places you can find super high quality pictures of some (not all) of the art shown at the museum.

Can't wait to buy this film!
