Sound Exchange --
Daniel Johnston, Hi How Are You It says something about a
city when over 50 different works (mostly murals) are given votes in this
category. Not long after the unveiling of the masterpiece, a local
graffiti-removal firm solicited Sound Exchange to help with their "problem"
on the south wall. In a stunning upset, the alien frog which has become
synonymous with the life, the work, and hard times of Austin passer-through
Daniel Johnston, has overtaken the mighty Varsity/Tower mural on 24th.
