Brazilian Graffiti Artists Go to Extraordinary Lengths to Leave Their Mark

Correspondent Stephen Gibbs is in Sao Paulo exploring pichação, the most recent graffiti craze on the streets of Brazil. The graffiti incorporates the use of gothic lettering. The 'artists' go to extraordinary and even illegal lengths to leave their mark in the most visible places around one of the world's largest cities.
