Aggie Park Mural, Texas A&M — The Armadillo must paint!

            I was driving past the “creamery” at Aggie Park on the College Station campus of Texas A&M University yesterday. I noticed that an artist was painting a mural on the back brick wall of the creamery. The way it was designed reminded me of the “GREETINGS FROM [insert town name]” postcards from the 40s/50s that were very common on the East Coast. Especially the text/font.

This morning at zero dark-thirty, Aggiedillo™ woke me up to drive him over to inspect the new Aggie Park Mural. If you didn’t know, armadillos are art connoisseurs. Any artist who expects to make it in the cutthroat art industry best have armadillo approval and certification.

In short, this mural which still has a bit of work to be completed by mid-August, has full Aggiedillo™ approval. Well, he wasn’t too pleased that there wasn’t a small armadillo painted in one of the bottom corners. He was willing to be an artist’s model. He pulled out that hack line from the Titanic movie, “Jack, I want you to paint me like your French girls.” I told him that the artista who designed this mural was from Waco, TX and everyone knows what people from Waco do to armadillos. It isn’t pretty.

The Aggiedillo™ strongly suggests you have a look at his web presence. “Look at that!” exclaimed the Aggiedillo™. “His URL lets you associate the artist’s first name with something good to drink from!”
