San Marcos is known as sort of a hub for the arts and creative minded individuals in Central Texas, this mural is located in ‘Kissing Alley’ a sort of landmark for most locals.
Lacking a signature, this piece along with many of the others located behind buildings off of the square and alleyways are done purely for the purpose of artistic expression.
On the side of Industry, a notable restaurant in central San Marcos, this muralist worked to capture elements of what makes San Marcos so unique.
Characters like this one can be found in the alley across the street from Logies On the Square.
A big part of San Marcos murals and graffiti are bright dynamic colors.
Lola Burrier, a Texas State student, poses as if she is one with the mural painted on the side of The Marc, an 18+ club that is a popular third space for students.
Some murals, like this one behind San Market, utilize bold colors and shapes rather than portraits.
Along with murals, multiple power boxes, such as this one located on the corner in front of Nephew’s, capture the San Marcos personality.
‘Kissing Alley’ features multiple unconventional pieces of art, like this elephant, that play off of pareidolia, being able to see animals and shapes in everyday objects.
Across the street from Logies On The Square, ‘Dane’ seems to take ownership with his tag of the majority of the work there. Most of the pieces in this alley utilizes the same art style and bold colors as his signature, a big part of graffitti and mural work.
