This local business called our attention with its large scale drawings and vibrant colors. It exemplifies how the practice of sign painting and the visual arts overlap. This is one of several businesses on York which utilize the style of graffiti as a means of both artistic expression and form of advertisement. Jugos Azteca's exterior was painted by Alza Signs, a sign painter whose signature can be found printed on many walls throughout the area.
