Dallas heard that and decided it applied double, then built something tall to prove it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDallas Texas Wall Art by Betsy Crum\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe type is heavy black letterpress capitals, roughened at the edges, sitting over a weathered Texas flag on scraped cream. Dallas is the skyline coming up out of flat prairie with nothing in front of it to soften the arrival, which is the whole point. It is Central Expressway at 5:40, heat still coming up off the concrete at nine at night in August, a Fletcher's corny dog eaten walking under Big Tex, and White Rock on a Saturday with half the city going the other direction around it. The flag colors are faded and dusty here, not glossy. Dallas can do polished on its own time; this print does not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHang it over a bar, in an office, or in a stairwell.
