Brian Lewis, aka JEKS

Greensboro graffiti/muralist Brian Lewis, who goes by JEKS (jeksone.com), created this amazing work — so realistic that you almost expect one of Andy’s faces to smile and wink at you. Pilot Mountain (aka “Mt. Pilot” on the Andy Griffith Show) is portrayed in the background of the mural. JEKS is becoming known for the hyper-realistic murals he’s painted across the United States and around the world. Incredibly, he creates his jaw-dropping works of art with an unexpected medium: aerosol or spray paint.
