This cool mural was painted by local self-taught artist, Rene Fernandez on the side of Numbers Nightclub. From left to right, the portraits are Trent Renzor of Nine Inch Nails, Al Jourgensen of Ministry, Blondie, Joey Ramone, David Bowie, Ian Curtis of Joy Division, Morrissey, Siouxsie Sioux of Siouxsie and the Banshees, and Robert Smith of The Cure. Fernandez told the Houston Chronicle that each one took around two hours to complete, and the mural evolved in size and subject matter during its creation. The figures represent the musical history of the venue, which apparently hosted some of the stars during their rise to stardom. Fernandez is a regular at the nightclub.
