Lover-Fighter Crayons

This mural decorates a brick wall outside of Print Press, which is a workspace in East Austin that “aims to preserve the existing building infrastructure while promoting the cultural arts.” The mural, which depicts crayons wrapped around a heart, seems to complement Print Press as a creative space, while the words “lover” and “fighter” speak to the depth of what can be accomplished through creativity. The artist responsible for the mural is Federico Archuleta, a graffiti stencil artist with many well-known art pieces throughout Austin, including the famous “Til Death Do Us Part” mural of two skulls kissing that can be found on the side of the Mexic-Arte Museum downtown.
