Find this “Love Your Wild Neighbor” mural, designed by local artist Jeremy Raymer, at the corner of East Carson and South 28th streets on the South Side. The art was commissioned by local animal advocacy group Humane Action Pittsburgh as part of a campaign about coexisting with the critters that call Western PA home.

Raymer has dozens of splashy art pieces on buildings across Pittsburgh. (One of my favorites is “Time is the Devourer of All Things” in Lawrenceville.)

🎨 Take yourself on a self-guided tour with Raymer’s mural map.
