A majority of the murals in Old Town Bossier City are done by Buddy West (Merlin Buddy West), and most of them are over a decade old. I am grateful for the work he did as there is only a few other pieces of public art in Bossier City.
Buddy West passed away in 2008
Abby Kent contributed to many other murals in the Bossier and Shreveport area, including the Architectural Details murals, unfortunately some of them have been painted over. Here is Abby Kent's website, http://www.amkent.com/murals.htm

Oh wait! This mural has been white washed! It was nice while it lasted I guess. I'll daydream that this doesn't make me mad about Bossier.
