Restoration work on Daniel Johnston's MURAL in Austin Texas (at 21st and
Guadalupe) has received repeated set-backs from various vandals.
Restoration should be completed this month, and the mural will be COATED
with a protective coating to deter future vandalism.
In addition, a BRASS PLAQUE will mark the wall, hopefully identifying it
as an important piece of art, and a landmark in Austin.
This is a DRAFT of the plaque - the final wording will vary slightly...

Woman arrested for defacing iconic mural
Possibly related to other vandalism cases
AUSTIN (KXAN) - A woman was arrested Christmas Eve after police said she
vandalized a popular mural near the University of Texas campus.
Austin Police witnessed 32-year-old Rebecca Guest spray painting several
profanities on the popular "Hi, How Are You?" alien frog mural at the
corner of 21st and Guadalupe, according to an arrest affidavit.
According to the arrest report, Guest told police she believed the mural
was offensive and meant to insult her personally.
She claimed she was covering it with bad words to force the owner to
completely remove it.
The report added that Guest believed other murals around Austin were
offensive to her. Guest also said she had spent the last year and
several hundred dollars defacing them.
The mural was painted 20 years ago and has been vandalized in the past.
The building's manager told police it would likely cost $500 to $1000 to
clean the mural
