“Hi, How Are You?” frog mural
408 W. 21st St.
Austin, Texas 78705 

This mural near The University of Texas campus is one of the many that embodies the “Keep Austin Weird” mantra. Based on a Daniel Johnston album cover from 1993, the mural was commissioned in 1993 by a record store on the Drag. Baja Fresh planned to remove the mural when they took over the location in 2004, but Austinites convinced the store to keep it. That chunk of the wall remains with the iconic amphibian, making this mural a great place to take a selfie while walking around the Drag.
