Description
On a trip to Deep Ellum in Dallas TX, a must-see is the Traveling Man sculptures. Indeed, you can hardly miss them! Traveling Man is a 38-ft tall guitar-headed robot man with pants of steel. He befriends all giant metal birds and greets you as you exit the DART Green Line light rail. Artists Brad Oldham and Brandon Oldenburg said the design was all about nodding to Deep Ellum's history while haters complained it was too corporate, too whimsical or even too reflective. Deep Ellum took root in the late 1800s as a diverse, multi-cultural community with a thriving blues and jazz music scene amongst meat markets, restaurants, bars, theaters, and off-the-beaten-path businesses. In a more recent incarnation, Deep Ellum consists of trendy shops, lofts, restaurants, nightclubs, live music venues, art galleries, and tattoo parlors. When DART needed to replace the railway underpass entrance to Deep Ellum, which was covered in colorful murals, to make way for the passenger rail station, DART made a commitment to the neighborhood to develop a new artistic 'gateway.' This sculpture is one of three inaugurated in 2009 due to that effort.
