It had canvas, a clock and a limited number of rounds, but this weekend's Dallas Art Battle was more supportive than punch-filled.
Just past high noon Saturday, Dallas Art Battle came back to Deep Ellum Art Co.
The competition pitted six artists against one another, creating works during two, 20-minute rounds with winners chosen by the audience. This year, the overall winner was Fernando Olivares for his rendition of rapper TuPac. The victory snagged him the final spot along with 11 previous Dallas winners to move on to the Texas Battle finals.

The only rule was a 20-minute time limit. Style and subject matter were open.
