For a few years now, the marine life artist who goes only by his last name, Wyland, has intended to return to Dallas to touch up the eight-story mural he painted downtown in 1999.
The iconic oceanscape depicted life-sized humpback whales, dolphins and a coral reef, and stood out as one drove down the Woodall Rodgers Freeway as a bit of ocean smack dab in the middle of Dallas' concrete.
It could have used a light power wash and some fresh paint here and there, where old billboards had scratched the artwork.
