AUSTIN -- A new Daniel Johnston mural was unveiled Monday at Nau's Enfield Drug on West Lynn.
The mural features a superhero and the message "Love is the question; Love is the answer."
This is the artist's first mural in 20 years, and it was given as a holiday gift to the city of Austin from GSD&M. Thanks to Johnston's love of superheros, GSD&M chose the Superhero Kids organization to benefit from the mural.
Superhero Kids was founded in December 2009 to specifically address quality-of-life issues for children and their families battling cancer and blood disorders at the Children's Blood and Cancer Center of Central Texas.
The mural is on the north side of Nau's Enfield Drug and will remain indefinitely as a new cultural landmark for the city of Austin. Limited edition T-shirts will be on sale at Nau's. A portion of the proceeds benefit Superhero Kids.
Beginning Dec. 1 through the end of 2014, GSD&M will make a donation to Superhero Kids for every photo taken in front of the mural and posted to social channels with hashtag #SuperheroKids.
GSD&M is an advertising agency headquartered in Austin, Texas.
