The finished murals by The Butchers Crew at Essex Modern City the weekend before Christmas, 2025.A group of muralists who call themselves “The Butchers Crew” gathered at Essex Modern City near downtown San Antonio on Saturday, Dec. 20, 2025.
On that day I only had time to stop by for a few minutes and get a look at the works in progress.
The next time I got to Essex Modern City, the place was locked up. I managed to stick my camera through the front gate and take the long shot of the finished wall. Because of the angle, I wasn’t able to get a view of Paul’s mural on the far right.
