We are enjoying Austin-based artist Josef Kristoletti's murals this morning. His latest piece, Protein Lite, renders colorful three-dimensional looking prisms and was painted at the first biennial of the south in Panama. The project invites artists to "use street art and public interventions for the promotion of contemporary art in the urban culture and public environment of the central American region."

Over the past year, Juxtapoz and Converse have teamed on a unique project, Wall to Wall, where we invite an artist in a city in North America to create a semi-permanent mural based around the artist's interpretation of the iconic Converse star.

Row opted for a colorful, multi-charactered, text-based mural, featuring perhaps the most street cred worthy giraffe we have ever seen.
