From the owner: aaron.love is a premium, artist-led apparel brand founded by Aaron Love, a Dallas-based mural and…read moreportrait painter whose work carries a street-art and stencil lineage. The brand translates his original artwork into limited apparel: oversized silhouettes, puff-print execution, black-heavy palettes, and a restrained gallery-meets-streetwear presentation. Every graphic, mark, and collection concept is drawn and directed by Aaron himself; nothing is licensed, templated, or generated. Positioned at the intersection of gallery fashion and luxury streetwear, aaron.love treats each garment as a wearable edition of the studio's visual language rather than merchandise, with a deliberate cyberpunk and anti-AI tension running through the collections. The business consolidates Aaron's prior creative ventures into a single durable identity, operating a lean, founder-run model built on Shopify commerce and an editorial web presence at aaron.love, with the goal of scaling the studio's output into a sustainable art and apparel enterprise.

BEEP! Must Destroy Humanity- but where is the train? 404 Train Error…read more This giant, Texas-sized robot seems to be lounging around, idly waiting for a train. Usually robots are so- unrelaxed, but this one is chillin'. It's appropriate for Deep Ellum, where everything has a relaxed, laid back vibe. There's a few of these robots around the Deep Ellum area, they're all huge, polished steel, and whimsical! The robots are along the DART line, so they're cool spots to take in the art. I always appreciate local, large scale public art! Way to go Dallas for getting these installed.

At this corner, you can see The Traveling Man kicked back on a bench with a mandolin/banjo in his hands surrounded by his sweet bird friends. Art like this makes our cities come alive--I'm so happy to have something like this in Dallas! It was a great spot to add to our scooter tour of Deep Ellum with out-of-state guests!

Yeeehaw to Dallas for such a vibrant public arts scene!…read more This town is tops for the arts! They do such a great job with large scale public works of art in Dallas! Check out the giant eyeball! The longhorns that run through Pioneer Plaza! For murals, the best spot is Deep Ellum. If you're a fan of graffiti art, there's huge spray painted murals. Some are guerrilla, done by artistic locals while keeping an eye out for 5-0. Others are done by local bars, and promote something cool. The Deep Ellum robots are a cool site to behold. Dallas certainly has a vibe to it, which is helped by the public arts scene. Three cheers to landlords who allow the sides of their warehouses to be used as a canvas for the local arts community. I suppose one could say that the best place to check out Dallas Arts is the Dallas Museum of Arts. While it does have a magnificent portfolio of famous artists, the real arts scene is on the streets where everyone can take in the art, and the locals participate.

This stunning stone sculpture stands on Harwood Street in front of another of the downtown Dallas…read moresteel and glass towers. The organic shape is a welcome change. It is a large piece of art and almost beckons to climb on it. But don't! The stone plaque at the base reads, "This sculpture titled 'Bear Mountain Red - A Texas Landscape', after the quarry that it came from in Fredericksburg Texas, is a merger of the human character with organic abstraction. The piece was carved by Alice Maynadier Bateman from a 12 1/2 ton block quarried especially for the Diamond Shamrock Building. The sculpture was blocked out in the artist's Fort Worth studio and complete on this site September 18, 1982." It continues, "We are creative only when we imagine most vividly, when we hope most profoundly, when we have the courage to live on the edge of our possibilities." The Diamond Shamrock company had moved from Cleveland to here in Dallas but is no longer, having been acquired by Valero Energy, which is based in San Antonio.

Once you get off the elevators you're greeted with a little gift shop that also has snacks and alcoholic beverages. You can stay inside and take in the view or go outside. I was surprised that there really wasn't more robust netting and you can definitely drop your phone from the top so be careful. There wasn't a ton to do up there so I would say a longer visit would be 30 min max unless you partake in the snacks and beverages.

We came around 3pm and it was a ghost town and parking was roughly $15.00. Once coming in we got check in and went straight up. Once we got to the top there was literally no one there besides the workers lol. We took 20 mins max and left. The space needle is much better than this unfortunately. I had higher hopes but they could add more things. Only cool thing I got to learn from this experience was hearing about where JFK was shot and then heading over to the location where the X is painted marking his passing.
