For the last two years, Trejo’s visage can be seen on a Kensington mural on the corner of East Tusculum Street and Frankford Avenue.

His friends, not so much.of people in active addiction was living by the bridge attached to the wall. Seeing the contrast between the Hispanic families in the area living amid Philadelphia’s drug crisis sparked a conversation about culture, the heroes of their childhood, and the reality of the area.
“His characters have always been like that person that came from nothing to something. He has that edge of neighborhood, that realness, and he’s always come through as a good guy, even though he could be looked at as a bad guy,” Busta said. “I thought that it could resonate to some people.” “I feel like whoever walks by, in whatever condition, they can look at it and be like ‘Oh, that’s awesome,’” Busta said. “It may take them out from their craziness for a second and, you know, just appreciate something less negative.”Bustamante and some of his local artist friends are thinking about refreshing the wall with a new mural by next year.
