Anything by Blue Genie Art
Some mighty mystical powers were at work to knock the two perennial faves – the Stevie Ray Vaughan statue and Nightwing, the rotating bat sculpture on South Congress – out of this category. Somebody must've rubbed real hard on a lamp, 'cause the overwhelming majority of this year's votes were various takes on the theme "Anything by Blue Genie Art Industries." With public displays at the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum, the Star of Texas Rodeo, GSD&M's Idea City, and Schlotzsky's (among so many others), their whimsical works of wonder are stretching way beyond founder Rory Skagen's days as our town's premier modern muralist.
