French street artist JR has been painting giant eyes on the sides of the hillside favelas in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The effect is that the perched shantytowns appear to be staring out at the city’s affluent high condos nearby. See more images on the Urban Revival Blog.

Love this painted street art work on what appears to be an electric or phone utility box across from beautiful, ultra-chic Leblon beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The cartoon-like style of this work is vaguely reminiscent of the work British illustrator Jamie Hewlett did for the band Gorillaz and the comic book Tank Girl.
