Zio Ziegler has several murals around San Francisco.

According to his website:

 For me painting is balance. Within this balance there is consciousness, instinct and distraction. My work is a constant fusion of all three. Torn between the classical and the contemporary in my inspirations, but constantly reminded of the paradigm shift towards the digital age around us, my paintings walk a fine line of voyeurism and awareness both is process and perception. The paintings have organic growth cycles of their own, but the inexplicable instinct of a paintings necessity for completion calls for the greatest changes of all. I create public art that forms as much from the environment it is painted in, than the studio where the gestation takes places. For me, the balance of working publicly, and privately assists the entire creative process in a symbiotic way. It is the open source template of the streets that is a constant reminder of the democratic yet organic nature of art these days. To be aware of this ephemeral state of painting, assists the visceral encouragement of instinct in the studio. And so, with balance of both studio and streets, consciousness and aloofness, instinct and thought comes my paintings.
