- Signmaker Paul Lira, responsible for many of Tucson's most interesting signs, brings to his work a thoroughly "mexicano" sense of aesthetics and humor.
- Muralists David Tineo and Luis Mena proclaim Mexican cultural identity in their work and carry on a tradition that has blossomed in the last twenty years.
