Deep Ellum Art Part 1

Updated: Jul 18

Deep Ellum is one of the most eclectic, historic, and famous parts of Dallas. It's rich with music and art history. Everywhere you turn you see murals: random murals, Dallas' iconic skyline murals, Dallas landmark murals, a whole alley way of murals dedicated to blues musicians, etc. I mean how cool is it that the Deep Ellum Arts Co commissioned artists to paint 42 murals around the area? And that's not all that's there - there is so much more! So much so, that I had to break the Deep Ellum blog post into 4️⃣ different posts! Yes, 4️⃣, so here's part 1️⃣! The murals in Deep Ellum hold a special place in my heart - my husband and I got our engagement pictures done in here! They even have several small businesses (and a few bigger ones), restaurants, dessert shops, 7 music venues, plus a bowling alley AND a place where you can do a little batting practice for baseball that has a bar inside. Anything you could want Deep Ellum has it: history ✅ art ✅ music ✅ food ✅ shopping ✅. You won't be bored when you ✅ this place out!


The Art

The murals here are EVERYTHING and are literally everywhere you turn! Each time I have gone down to Deep Ellum I spent 2+ hours taking pictures and get 3+ miles of walking in. It can be over stimulating but hey, I got you! Fair warning, for most of these murals you gotta get there early or go during a week day or you'll get a ton of murals with cars parked in front.


Like I said before - there is art literally everywhere you look and turn. So I'll tackle all the murals by taking it street by street starting from N Good Latimer Expy. The first set of Murals are located on St Louis, St Taylor St, Canton St, Trunk Ave, and Clover St. There are not as many murals located on these streets since they are on the outskirts of Deep Ellum. Again, I'll start at Good Latimer Expy and move down St Louis, Taylor, Canton, then Clover Streets.


St Louis St


Crowdus St turns into St Louis St and dead ends into S Malcolm X Blvd. The first set of Murals are located on Deep Ellum Brewing Company's Brewery and Distillery.


Deep Ellum Brewing Company Mural

Showing off the iconic Deep Ellum Brewing lettering and their fun logo of a face with a bottle of beer for the mouth. Goal is to go back and get a better photo with the trash can lids down and of course, the tree not blocking the word Ellum. There is also some graffiti style artwork on the roof that you can see easily from the street. This mural faces St Louis St and is on the side of the building that houses their warehouse.


Artist(s): Leighton Autrey was once a MLB prospect but now does art and murals full time. He was one of the original artists to work on the 42 Murals Project in Deep Ellum. He has an impressive resume; including being one of four American artists to have his artwork showcased in the weeks leading up to the 2012 Olympics in London.

Artist tag(s) for Love Runs Deep Mural

This awesome mural shows a line of suspects one including the man with the Deep Ellum Brewing logo for a head. Deep Ellum Brewing Company's slogan or motto is Love Runs Deep - just check out their website they incorporate everywhere! Love Runs Deep faces S Malcolm X Blvd at the intersection of St Louis St.


Artist: Michael McPheeters aka MR.MURAL grew up in Los Angeles he began his career as a street artist and scenic painter in the film industry. He eventually made his way to Dallas where he has become a "multifaceted contemporary artist, activist and graffiti writer". (website: MichaelMcPheeters instagram: @michaelmchpheeters)


Taylor St


Next up we navigate Taylor St starting at Good Latimer Expy.


The Umbrella Man Mural

Umbrella Man Mural on the front of the Life in Deep Ellum

This mural doubling as a mural and sign, this is the building for Life In Deep Ellum which is a faith based community center. They also have a coffee shop, Moka Coffee and an art gallery, Umbrella Gallery that supports local artists. The mural faces the parking lot for the building and S Malcolm X Blvd.


Artist(s) Unknown.


The next set of murals are on the building for the Mavs (Mavericks) Gaming Hub. "It is the only of its kind – a modern warehouse with an emphasis on technology and E-sports. However, it is a blank canvas and can be transformed to bring any event vision to life." The building has art on each side of the building so I will focus on the building then go back to moving down Taylor St.

Artist(s): Tex Moton, Jerod "DTox" Davies, and Mez Data. Tex Moton co-founded the graffiti group called Infinite Crew in 1996. Since then the group has set a high standard for street art in Dallas and has artwork scattered throughout the city. Moton painted the words in this mural. (website: Muralogy instagram: @texmoton) Artist(s): Jerod "DTox" Davies comes from a long line of artists. "His passionate approach at creating art is fueled by a deeply-rooted attraction for unconventional beauty. Heavily influenced by texture, his style is virtually impossible to categorize yet easy to describe, bold portraits, believable and surreal, direct yet ornate with a vibrant sarcasm." (website: thejerod instagram: @dtoxartMez Data aka Blake Bermel is an Austin based artist who has a ton of graffiti around that area. He is also the owner and creator of The Royal Make Marker which is a graffiti mural company. (website: Mez Data instagram: @mezdata)


Mavs Gaming Hub Mural

The first mural on the Mavs Gaming Hub building that you'll see heading down Taylor St facing the Umbrella Man above. This mural includes Dirk Nowitzki and the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy, which the Mavericks won in 2011 thanks to Dirk!


NBA 2K22 Mural

NBA2K22 Mural

Luka Doncic who started his basketball career in Madrid was originally drafted by the Atlanta Hawks in 2018 and immediately traded to the Mavericks. Safe to say Dallas made the right move when getting Luka! Luka faces Taylor St at the intersection of Taylor St and S Malcolm X Blvd.


Mavs + Dr Pepper Mural

These pieces are on the back of the building facing Virgil St and the parking lot for Indie Deep Ellum Apartments. What's better than the Mavericks and Dr. Pepper??


Now back to moving down Taylor St.


Dirk Mural

Dirk Mural
Artist tag(s) for Dirk Mural

If you don't know who this is - let me introduce you, this is Dirk Nowitzki who was depicted in the Mavs Gaming Hub with the trophy. Dirk started playing in Germany at the age of 16 in 1994 and was drafted in the NBA to the Milwaukee Bucks in 1998 and was immediately traded to the Mavs. Dirk is the main reason the Mavericks won the 2011 championship. Luka and Dirk have a lot of similarities: starting professionally over in Europe at a very young age, drafted in the NBA at the age of 19/20, and then immediately traded to Dallas. Across from the parking lot from the Mavs Gaming Hub on Taylor St located on the back of building that houses SupportNinja is where you can find the Mavs legend.


Artist(s): Josh Mittag, not much on Josh but he has several pieces sprinkled through out Dallas. (website: Josh Mittag instagram: @mittagjosh)


Cost Plus Drugs Mural

Artist tag(s) for Cost Plus Drugs Mural

This mural is facing Taylor St and S Walton St and is impressively large! Showing off some of the Dallas iconic pieces - The Pegasus and The Traveling Man while incorporating Doctors, Nurses, and science! This building is the manufacturing warehouse of Mark Cuban's low cost medical drug company. The reason the drugs are cheaper is because they cut out the middle man. Great concept and much needed in today's world!


Artist(s): Michael McPheeters aka MR.MURAL (website: MichaelMcPheeters instagram: @michaelmchpheeters)


Flowers Mural

Artist tag(s) for Flower Mural

If you head towards Virgil St from the Cost Plus Mural on S Walton St you'll find this floral piece. The real landscaping could use some work in order to show off this mural better!

This piece is located at the entrance of the Indie Deep Ellum apartment complex parking garage. It incorporates all icons of Deep Ellum including: the Deep Ellum neon sign, the Gypsy Tea Room neon sign, Lead Belly, and Erykah Badu.

Artist(s): Ryan Stalsby graduated from the Art Institute of Dallas in 2006 and originally worked for a graphic design company before branching out to create paintings and murals. (website: Ryan Stalsby)


Say Anything Mural

If you turn left out of the parking lot and turn left on S Walton St or if you continue to head down Canton St from Good Latimer Expy, you will find these iconic characters making out. Love this take on the movie, Say Anything, by mixing it with the Simpsons and Bob's Burgers. This mural is at the intersection of S Walton St and Canton St, facing S Walton.


Artist(s): The House of Pannek is an artistic duo consisting of Adrienne and Preston Pannek. They have several pieces scattered through out Deep Ellum and Dallas. (website: House of Pannek instagram: @thehouseofpannek)

"His passionate approach at creating art is fueled by a deeply-rooted attraction for unconventional beauty. Heavily influenced by texture, his style is virtually impossible to categorize yet easy to describe, bold portraits, believable and surreal, direct yet ornate with a vibrant sarcasm."

Prada Mural

Artist tag(s) for Prada Mural






This tiny Prada "store" is located in Marfa, Texas which is a small desert town in west Texas. This is not an actual store but rather an art installation that has actual Prada bags inside but you are not allowed to go inside... Now why would this little Prada store be there? Well, Marfa is a VERY eclectic town and VERY small but is known for its art and galleries. It was on my bucket list to go there - and luckily I was able to talk a few friends into going with me for my 30th birthday! If you ever visit the area don't blink because you drive through it! This mural is on the side of Barrington Gifts which is a leather goods store and is facing their parking lot. Which is at the intersection of Canton St and Murray St.


Artist(s): Malcolm Byers all I could find is that Malcolm has murals located all throughout Texas. (instagram: @malcolm_byers)

Trunk Ave


As you keep heading down Canton St you'll see a set of murals that are painted on a set of brick fences. Trunk Ave runs between Canton St and Commerce St. Unfortunately they are a doing quit a bit of construction around Deep Ellum. So they are using this street to store their construction supplies. Safe to say I'll have to go back when it's cleaned up and retake these pictures.


Minus Won Mural

Obviously a spin on the Three Wise Monkeys which is a Japanese pictorial maxim.

Next up is the mural of Bobby Sessions who is a Grammy award winning artist. Bobby was born and raised Dallas, Texas. Bobby started rapping with the group, The Brain Gang in Deep Ellum so of course it makes sense to have a mural of him here! After taking a chance and quitting his job he went to pursue a career in music. Well it paid off, he has made quite a name for himself considering he has a Grammy and has written songs for Meghan Thee Stallion and Beyonce along with songs in movies like Coming 2 America.

This artist actually won this mural spot by entering a contest, where the artists had 3.5 hours to paint something that celebrated 150 years of Deep Ellum back in 2022.

Now for Clover St, which is more like an alleyway. Clover St is most famous for it's murals that take a deep dive in Deep Ellum Blues Music history.

When & Where?

Deep Ellum has always had a rougher vibe but has been trying to make a come back for several years now. The come back is going fairly strong especially now that COVID has taken a back seat. The area, especially on the weekends is packed and hard to find parking. If you go there early during the day or on Sunday mornings its fairly easy to find parking and walk around. If you decide to go early or stay late bring a buddy; this is still downtown Dallas and can give off a sketchy vibe if you aren't used to the area.
