John Pugh is an American artist known for creating large trompe-l'oeil wall murals giving the illusion of a three-dimensional scene behind the wall. Pugh has been creating his murals since the late 1970s. He attended California State University Chico, receiving his BA in 1983 and the Distinguished Alumni Award in 2003. He has received numerous public and private commissions in the United States, Taiwan, and New Zealand. He lives in Santa Cruz, California. His particular mural style sparked the term "Narrative Illusionism".

Evol is a German artist currently living and working in Berlin. Born in Heilbronn, Germany, he attended the Kuopio Academy of Arts and Crafts in Finland and has a degree in product design from HFG Schwäbisch Gmünd in Germany. Evol has had solo exhibits in Germany, Belgium, China and the United States.
While his gallery work includes installations and paintings on cardboard, his work in the streets primarily centers around apartment buildings. Using a layered stencil technique, Evol transforms the unlikeliest of mediums into the outside of mundane, everyday apartment buildings. There’s depth to his artwork and they are so realistic you may catch yourself wondering if there are little people in each of the units going about their lives.

The 6emeia project was created and developed by the artists Anderson Augusto, also known as SÃO, and Leonardo Delafuente, also known as Delafuente. The duo live in the Barra Funda neighborhood of São Paulo where they began the project with the purpose of changing and transforming daily life.

The duo's objective is to modify the means within which we all live, proposing a new way to view things by reflecting upon themes generated through creative and unusual works. Such modifications are made by painting storm drains, light posts, manhole covers and any other object which makes up the urban scenario.

With the painted storm drains, a new type of communication is proposed between art and the city as well as between art and the residents. Art then becomes within the reach and at the service of everyone. By looking with care at the most forgotten and indifferent objects, one can take in art in a new way. The painted storm drains are like colorful drops falling into animmense ash-colored canvas. Which affirms the fact that art does not always need to be viewed on the walls of galleries and museums.

In a tense-filled confusing city, the most prominent colors have long been gray and beige which is where the 6emeia duo enters the scene. Through their work, they bring a certain harmony to the passageways of the city with the use of color and in doing so, they bring life and good humor to all.

After several days of work, the Italian artist known for his illustrative style painted this beautiful mural which can be seen at the Escuela Nacional de Artes Plásticas, Av. Constitución 600, Barrio La Concha, Xochimilco, 16210 Mexico City, DF, Mexico.
This mural was painted for two reasons: a local event in which 25 dogs were accused of killing 4 people and the return of the PRI (Partido Revolucionario Institucional) for the presidency.
