From their Kickstarter: The ongoing Savage Habbit Murals Project has currently brought 13 murals to the streets of Jersey City, NJ and most recently 1 to Union City, NJ, all painted within 2 years and more are to come for the remaining wall season this year. Through our relationships with artists, via the art blog, we are able to work on a more personal level with them encouraging full artistic creatively on the walls with a variety of styles of work, ranging from traditional painterly approaches to bold and exciting characters... we like to think it's about creating a family experience.

Organized through the permission of property owners artists are hand selected to fit the property, neighborhood and/or business at the location to create an inspiring outdoor experience.
