Jorge Perez (Yorch) just painted a huge mural on the side of the Rio Grande.  Anyone walking across the bridge into Juarez from downtown El Paso can't miss seeing it:



The mural is a reworking of the same image he created for the prints he made for us in 2017, for the Postre Prints Exhibition at the Purple Pop-up Gallery on San Jacinto Plaza in El Paso.
