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.

Welcome to San Diego, California’s Barrio Logan – home of the murals of Chicano Park.Chicano Park has more vibrant outdoor art in one relatively small area than I have seen anywhere in the United States.
The theme of the art is the history and tradition of the Barrio Logan neighborhood in San Diego.
Most of the murals are painted on the infrastructure of a major highway interchange where Interstate 5 meets the road to the Balboa Bridge. Because of that, many of the surfaces are not proper rectangles. It’s interesting to see how the artists work with some odd angles and bridge supports that often are not exactly vertical or horizontal. Some of the murals are even painted on the bottom of the highway – or the ceiling of the park depending on how you look at it.
There is a parking area at the park, a few places to sit, a fountain, a small playground for kids and restrooms (even the restrooms have murals). There are also some neighborhood restaurants within walking distance.
Selena mural by Optek_Art in San Antonio.The legend of Selena has long been a part of San Antonio’s music culture.
There is a new tribute to the Queen of Tejano Music on the western edge of downtown San Antonio. The mural is the work of Roland Alvarez – also known as Optek_Art.
This is at the corner of West Houston and North Leona about two blocks north of UTSA Downtown and a block east of Frio Street.

Mural by Jenkins2D just north of downtown San Antonio facing McCullough near the corner with Broadway.This very wide mural is right by the corner of Broadway and McCollough. It’s within walking distance of Alamo Plaza and the San Antonio Riverwalk.
The KLRN building is right on the corner. There is a parking lot in front of the mural that I believe used to be the home of one of the city’s horse-drawn carriage companies.
It looks like this art is courtesy of:

Studebaker mural by Los Otros Murals on Broadway Street in downtown San Antonio.These murals on Broadway Street harken back to the days when Studebaker cars were built in this country from the early 1900s to the 1960s.
They are located just north of the Alamo Plaza area by where Broadway hits 3rd Street.
The first two images are where the murals are on the outside of building. The last few images show murals behind glass – where you can see lots of reflections, including me taking the pictures.
