The mural “Greetings from Houston” is located on the side of Gelazzi, an Italian gelato shop in the Heights on White Oak. The mural is along the sidewalk on the eastern side of the building. Created by Houston’s prolific muralist and artist Daniel Anguilu, Greetings from Houston sums up the Bayou City in a 1970s style postcard featuring classic local iconography of the time and the ages. An oil derrick, rocket ship and Heights stamp are joined by a Texas flag-waving cactus, a cattle skull and an old school cassette tape. Anguilu successfully tweaked the classic postcard design, including his signature design, an intricate mosiac web of colors, shapes and lines.
