  3. Hi there!
    I love these pictograms... they were made by Poty, he is a famous Brazilian illustrator. There is a city in the South of Brazil called Curitiba where one can find many of his drawings on the streets of this city. Pretty amazing work!
    Thanks for sharing!

  4. Wow, thank you for solving this mystery! I have wondered about it for years.

    Can you point me to any online collections by Poty, or do you know of books I could try to find?

    Will
