Daniel Johnston mural
unveiled Wednesday
The Austin Public Library is commemorating the life and work of musician and artist Daniel Johnston, who died last year.

The artwork was commissioned by the Library Foundation and will be housed in the Central Library’s fourth floor Special Collections area. The mural by artist Jason Archer mimics Johnston’s playful, surreal style and invokes themes Johnston explored throughout his life and work, including his fights with mental illness.
A collection of Johnston’s original sketches will also be displayed in the Central Library’s Living Room gallery on the sixth floor.
