MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- The Black Lives Matter movement continues to show up on Milwaukee buildings.
Artists Ruben Alcantar and Chris Burke teamed up to create a mural of Breonna Taylor at Holton and Locust.
Taylor was shot and killed by police in Louisville, Kentucky.
Her name has been chanted often during the recent George Floyd protests.
Alcantar says they're getting enthusiastic responses to their artwork.
"Man we had people like giving us hugs, it's really touching them and it's moving us too, so it's weird, it's crazy," he said.
The mural is being done with the consent of the building's owner.
Alcantar says they'll paint another mural on the other side of the building.
