Was walking through Deep Ellum last night, and there's a graffiti mural up on the back of one of the buildings down there that's really cool. It's a tornado scene, kinda "Twister" like, there's a cow getting sucked up and the letters in "Mooooo!" trailing behind. ;) There used to be this one on the drive home from Deep Ellum I loved to look at, but could only do it at 30 miles an hour. I always wanted to go down during the day one time and take a picture in front of it or something, but never got around to it. Hmm. Sonic Therapy promo pictures... cuz we are like rock stars or something. > & then pop stars like 3d (whatever his skills may be) get in museums for > face value, mostly. i have yet to hear of a genuine graffiti artist get > that kind of recognition. > it's rant day today, i tell ya.
