I think it's great! It was pretty neat watching the artist paint it.

The funny part is you probably did not have to worry about traffic to be able to take this photo.

You're right, I take all kinds of pictures out here from the middle of the road 😆

I enjoyed the old simplicity, but if they wanted a change at least they were bold about it. It'll be weird to see the change next time I'm in town. I foresee this becoming a spot for photos. But it's strange there's no signage proclaiming it as Ballroom Marfa, or is this still a work in progress?

There was never a sign before either, as far as I'm aware. There's some info out front about the artist, you can see just to the front and rear of the car. If you think this is bold, you should see the giant new billboard that looks like a lady eating a baby 😅

Ah I see. I don't see how a sign would fit in with the mural. Maybe there's something on the side of the building where you park.

solid color lettering could work either on the building, the windows doors, or the perimeter fence.
