Behold the completed 80-foot tall mural by Os Gêmeos and Futura at P.S. 11 in Chelsea that is aesthetically pleasing, yet ideologically frightening to Alex Jones fans and other New World Order enthusiasts.

Yesterday saw the completion of Os Gêmeos mural on the corner of Houston Street and Bowery. Despite the “toy that scribbled in a tiny corner” of the painting, the mural was cleaned up and finished less than ten days after the earlier Keith Haring tribute was whitewashed.
