- The Traveling Man is a series of three metal sculptures depicting robots accompanied by birds in the Deep Ellum neighborhood of Dallas. Made of brushed and polished sheets of stainless steel held together with rivets, the sculptures were a collaboration between sculptor Brad Oldham and Brandon Oldenburg of Reel FX Creative Studios. They are intended to be evocative of both the history of rail transportation in Deep Ellum and its more recent development as an artistic community. The sculptures were commissioned by Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) and unveiled in August 2009, replacing a series of murals that were destroyed in 2007 for the construction of DART Light Rail in Deep Ellum. The three individual sculptures that comprise The Traveling Man progress chronologically. Awakening is a 4.5-foot (1.4 m) sculpture that depicts only part of The Traveling Man's head as it emerges from a gravel pit. Waiting on a Train features the robot playing a guitar. Walking Tall is 38 feet (12 m) in height and posed mid-stride. All three of the sculptures are surrounded by metal birds. (en)
