Ann (Ann Graphics) from Milwaukee, Wisconsin took these pics!
This is part of a mural/murals near 12th and National by TRUE Skool, a hip hop arts school in Milwaukee.
The characters were done by Michael Cerda, a Milwaukee graphic designer.

Wonderful.
I’m very happy about it!
For me, the opening pic didn’t set the stage for the others … but I don’t say that in a bad way – simply meaning it seems out of place with the others … On the other hand, the part with the kid holding the pencil made me laugh.
BTW – The reason your ears itched a short time ago is because I mentioned you in a comment on Marina’s latest post. … of course it was good!
The first pic is my fave. Even though it is not part of the sequence, I wanted to show it. I saw Marina’s post. Lol! TY for the vote!
The first pic was my fav, too. …. and glad you saw the comment. See, I remember some of the finer points.
😀 😀
I think that part was around the corner, though now I can’t remember for sure. True Skool has a number of murals around town – I love what they do with urban youth. 🙂
I checked out the site, & was quite pleased! 🙂
Thanks for the additional info. 🙂
Is the artist Mexican? That Quezalcoatl breaking free from the sun stone is cool.
I don’t know anything about the first piece. I agree with you, it does have an Aztec or Mayan sense. (Mexican)
I think this is a depiction of the Aztec deity Quezalcoatl, the “feathered serpent”. The Maya have such a deity too, called Kukulkan, but this one is Atzec, since the round thing it is wound around is the central part of what is known as the “Sun stone”, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aztec_calendar_stone (the original is in Mexico City, some other museums have replicas, I know one from Hamburg, for example).
Very neat! I was in Palenque, (Mayan) many years ago. One of the temples/ tombs had a stone that was a big attraction. They called it the Palenque stone. I remember staring at it in a small space in almost total darkness.
That is another famous work. As far as I remember, it depicts a king who had died, and a stylized maiz plant. But I am no expert on this stuff.
Thanks for the added info – I’ll try to get back there and see if I can learn more!
Really neat stuff, Resa. I love the blend of colors that ordinarily I’d say wouldn’t work. For me they do, in all the above though. 🙂
It’s lots of fun! 🙂 🙂
Thank you so much for featuring some Milwaukee Graf! (in more ways than one – who knew I would end up a Graf who loves graf?!!)
Lucky you… I mean being an actual Graf!
It’s been a lot of fun posting this art, and I just love guest spots! ⭐
Reblogged this on anngrafics and commented:
Many thanks to Resa of Graffiti Lux and Murals for featuring some of my images of Milwaukee work by local hip hop arts school True Skool!
It’s a really great GLaM Guest Spot” Thank you big time for sending in these pics! ⭐
The artwork certainly brightens up an otherwise dull building, Resa. I too love the stairways in the first image. Also the boy with his ‘art supplies’ in the second… Very sweet. 😀
The boy is very adorable! Truly, the building is very drab urban & the art humanizes it!
Love the pencil holding characters!
Adorable! Let’s teach kids art instead of hate & destruction!
That is the best direction we should point them to!
