After putting up his massive Lovestruck mural in Los Angeles back in September, acclaimed British street artist D*Face recently returned to Arkansas to install a second piece for this year’s installment of The Unexpected. Located at the east entrance to downtown Fort Smith, D*Face’s piece consists of five massive, larger-than-life arrows. Crafted from repurposed telephone poles, the enormous arrows were created with the help of Oklahoma’s Choctaw Nation tribe, thus ensuring the authenticity of their oversized aesthetic.
