Newcomers Santi Waine and Anton Vasconcellos, who you have probably seen here on the blog before, get their big break this month by posing alongside actress Cleo Pires in Brazilian Playboy's much anticipated 35th anniversary issue. The two models were hand picked by the actress herself, and will appear in their underwear in one of her two spreads for the issue.

Two-Way Street, a group exhibition featuring the works of Brazilian street artists Nove, Chivitz, Presto, and Ramon Marins, opens a week from today, on August 4, at Jonathan LeVine Gallery in West Chelsea. I have become a big fan of Nove's work after seeing some of his pieces at Choque Cultural in São Paulo earlier this year, so I highly recommend that you check out the exhibit if you are in New York. It runs until August 21.
