Urban Maeztro is a former professional graphic designer who quit his job to devote himself fully to street art. He specializes in wheat-pasting the images he designs as a commentary on the proliferation of gun violence in his native Honduras. When putting up his work, he faces the danger of violent street gangs, as well as the police who have been known to beat and even kill people who are seen as criticizing the government.
