Maddie McClintock

Muralist

Maddie McClintock (@maddzcity) is a multidisciplinary artist, designer, & entrepreneur who is the founder of her creative freelance business, MADDHOUSE Style LLC (@maddhousestyle). She has been creating art her whole life & murals since 2018. Her mural work ranges from interior/exterior to unique applications & specializes in letterwork & bold graphic designs. Maddie also designs repeating textiles, apparel, GIF’s, & augmented reality work. She earned a BFA at the University of Arkansas in 2021 & currently lives in Texas.

This mural blends retro motifs with modern style and color to tell a refreshing visual story of the showlife of Patty Lou the restaurant's namesake! Patty Lou is the owner's mother and was the lead singer/songwriter for her all girl band in the 1940's to early 50's. A trailblazer for women in music during her time, 'Patty Lou and Her Texas Sweethearts' traveled across the US playing shows, often with reputable names in iconic venues. In this mural, Patty Lou is front and center, strumming her guitar, leisurely lounging on a burger, with the vintage Patty Lou’s smashburger sign behind her. The KRLD radio tower is playing music and the frequency paves the way, literally and metaphorically, for Patty Lou’s roadtrip across the country to play her tunes with ‘Her Texas Sweethearts’. The iconic trio can be found driving along the way in the 1940’s yellow Buick Convertible, instruments in the back. Places Patty Lou played are called out along Route 66 and throughout the mural. The famous Longhorn Ballroom steer is featured alongside article headlines about Patty Lou’s band.

Courtney Redding

Logo Designer

Courtney Redding is the granddaughter of Patty Lou. She have been working as a graphic designer for almost 15 years, and says it has been an absolute privilege to have gotten the opportunity to create this special logo and rendering of her mammaw for my aunt and uncle’s family-owned restaurant. I couldn’t be happier to share her journey with everyone through this restaurant. If Patty Lou were here today, she knows she would be beyond proud of her family and her new generation of great-grandkids she never got to meet. She hopes you feel the joy this place brings because it’s as fun and amazing as our mammaw was.
