Willie unsuccessfully attempts to jump a bar set up for a "high ollie" contest.
Meet Jose...
Jose moved to Waco 7 years ago from Houston and is currently working as a tattoo artist at Art & Sol. Jose said that his mural work is a little easier to do then his tattoos, because he has the flexibility of messing up. Other mural work from Jose can be seen on the corner of La Salle and 18th.
