8.0 Restaurant and Bar Artwork
"We're going to sell the murals by the square foot to raise money for the children's program at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth." - Shannon Wynne
Eddie Leon
- Artist: Ed and Linda Blackburn
- Location:Tar Bar.
This mural is a recreation of a cartoon - well chosen from two respected abstract minds. The work between the patio doors was done by Melanie North (Larry North's wife). The cigar and ants are what they are and the middle design is a cryptogram of the trial of OJ Simpson - was there justice?
Country Cubism
- Artist: Bill Haverton
- Location:Dining Area
In this Cubist-style mural lie many depictions of the ominous phrase - " Your reap what you sow."
Mix Master
- Artist: Dan Blagg
- Location:Dining Area
This mural is the Mix Master at I-35 and I-30. Ironically, it could be meant respectfully as a moment of silence for the danger that so many times has reared its ugly head, but we believe the meaning lies in the eyes of the beholder. What does this mean to you?
A Day in the Life pt. 1

This one is pretty self-explanitory. You will notice some very well known sites from Ft. Worth. At table 19 the newspaper is entirely readable! See what else you can see...
Wholly Octupied

Cart Path-Secrets of the Pyramid Revealed-Big Bend
- Artist: Jim Woodson

This is "the puzzle" of the house. Supposedly, it is two sides of the world on one scene. And how the pyramids would have been constructed if...?
A Day in the Life pt. 2
- Artist: Cindy Hоlt
- Medium: Cindy Hоlt
A continuation of Cindy Holt's same piece. Well known sights from Fort Worth.
All the loftiest creations could be bound in a nutshell
- Artist: J.T. Grant
- Medium: Oil on Gypsum Board
- Date:1993
- Location:Dining Room
This painting, we're told, is that the woman symbolizes a country that has sentenced his death. He chose to humbly own up to his crime, but refused to look into her eyes or wear the uniform of the country that is so eager to kill him.
