Can’t Stop the Murals A guide to some of Austin’s most notable new murals that you may have missed BY ROBERT FAIRES Somewhere in Austin, there may be a few bare walls outdoors, but they’re becoming rare beasts. For many local artists, they’re the canvas of choice, with the result being murals sprouting across town like bluebonnets. Among the latest crop are the city’s largest mural to date, a spectacular mosaic of an Austin music legend, and a series of artworks that beau- tify underpass pillars. Here’s a guide to some notable murals that debuted in just the past year, so you can keep an eye out for them whenever you’re on your way to or from those essential businesses that are getting us through our sheltering in place.

22 THE AUSTIN CHRONICLE APRIL 3, 2020 austinchronicle.com 4 Painting Gina Chavez Levi Ponce was on a mission: to “spread the beauty of Latino culture throughout the Bible Belt.” With several other artists, the L.A.-based muralist was going to travel across the Southwest and Southeast, painting murals of Latinos in communities where they are “underrepresented and underserved,” he says. Then a little virus suddenly became a big, big deal, and the plan was put on hold. But not before Ponce and his partner/artist RYSTA managed to get to Austin. With the help of prolific local muralist J Muzacz, Ponce was able to add a few new works to the city’s vibrant outdoor mural collection. First, at Something Cool Studios, where Muzacz is a resident artist, Ponce and RYSTA painted actor Danny Trejo as Machete, the character he’s played in films by – local connection! – Robert Rodriguez. Then, at a North Austin graffiti jam, Ponce knocked out a quick mural of West Coast rap pioneer B-Real of Cypress Hill. And back at 2400 East Cesar Chavez, Ponce painted his largest work, a portrait of Austin musician Gina Chavez. As the wall Ponce could paint on was adjacent to a mosaic mural of legendary blues pianist Grey Ghost – created by Muzacz and the Mosaic Workshop, a community art project last fall – Ponce wanted his mural to spotlight another notable Austin musician, Muzacz says, “someone who would resonate with the surrounding neighborhoods, which are predominantly and historically Hispanic and Black. I did my best to describe the demographic and history [of the area], and I mentioned a handful of local musicians, young and old, and from a diversity of backgrounds, music styles, and persuasions, including, of course, the lovely and talented Gina Chavez. When Levi did research into Gina’s heritage, he found out that she has a charity in El Salvador. That sealed the deal for him since his father came to the States as a refugee from El Salvador in the 1970s.” Ponce completed the third mural less than a week after arriving in Austin. While he was still painting, Chavez came by to see it and was stunned. “My whole life, I’ve felt so drawn to my Latino roots and at the DAVID BRENDAN HALL same time, I’ve never felt truly ‘Latina.’ As a light-skinned, English-speaking girl from a middle-class family in Austin, I’ve felt like an imposter to the Latino community,” she says. “There’s a huge part of me that 5 6 looks at an incredible work of art like this and says, ‘Why me?’ There are so many other people with darker skin, with more of a story, with more connection to their Latino roots, who truly deserve this kind of honor.

Levi Ponce truly graced me with this honor and I hope that it may grace our Latino community for years to come.” – R.F.

DAVID BRENDAN HALL JANA BIRCHUM 7

Last Messages of HOPE PHOTOS BY DAVID BRENDAN HALL As part of a new initiative from the HOPE Campaign (Helping Other People Everywhere) – the folks who also brought you the HOPE Outdoor Gallery – a number of Austin street artists, in cooperation with local bar owners, were able to create inspirational murals on plywood boards in front of several bars in the 400 block of East Sixth. They were painted Tuesday, March 24, the final day before Austin was locked down under shelter-in-place orders. Staff photographer David Brendan Hall was there to catch all the fresh paint.

But for Tina and Orion, it was equally important to be a fully sustainable farm. To that end, they partner with local organizations in the Travis County community.

They raise chickens on Orion’s father’s land, and sheep and more pigs at another small property nearby. They sell their products (eggs, chicken, pork) at farmers’ markets and the fine dining restaurant Apis in Spicewood. When they launched TerraPurezza, Tina was a cashier at Whole Foods and Orion was unemployed. They wanted to raise pigs because they were profitable, but feed was expen-

The disadvantage was “a lot of miles on the road and Regenerative Farming: a lot of carbon burned in the transportation.” This environmental impact was enough for them to con- sider buying an electric car, and the only one that could A Love Story haul anything happened to be “a Tesla Model X.

I felt like maybe the entirely written and recorded by a group made up entirely of women. Documenting mood and the longing in those songs would be good timing for people right now. That informal not only the decade leading up to the music’s DIY revolution locally, the ripping read blooms into full technicolor once Valentine moves to L.A. and replaces the GG’s nature of the songs, that sorta itinerant thing, it just sort of makes more sense than ever departing bassist. Sex, drugs, and you-know-what ensues. She got the beat. right now.” – Doug Freeman – Raoul Hernandez

Now that I am working from home, I no longer have to deal with my obnoxious co-worker who always eats with his mouth open, talks loudly on the phone all the time, and doesn’t bathe regular- ly. I have also caught him staring at me when I wasn’t looking. Now, at least, if he is staring at me in Zoom meetings, I can’t tell. I also won’t have to smell him, but I swear I can still hear “SOCIAL DISTANCE” him snacking in the background of our meetings because he doesn’t mute his microphone. Anyway, my question is this: Should I ask my boss if I can work from home permanently if I can keep my current level of productivity? Or will that make it seem like I am taking advantage of this terrible situation? – Happily Social-Distanced

First of all, good job finding that elusive global pandemic silver lining! You deserve a raise for that alone! I think in the end we are going to find that a lot of nice things are going to come from this extended period of isolation. For instance: I myself haven’t once in the last three weeks smelled an acrid, deeply troubling, stomach-turning stench emanating from the toilet stalls of the men’s locker room at my gym. To say it’s been refreshing is a ridiculous understatement. All these beautiful, fresh-aired, sun- dappled mornings have been downright magnificent – even the foggy ones are a huge step up. In the last three weeks, I haven’t experienced the embarrassment of reporting a possible rotting corpse in the men’s bathroom to the sporty, cheerful fitness experts at the gym front desk only to have them look at me like I might be the murderer responsible for said corpse instead of a thoughtful, concerned gym member trying to save the world from another pandemic because, to be perfectly honest, whatever caused that smell has to be one of the unhealthiest things on the planet, possibly even the universe. Seriously. I’m talking about the kind of smell that makes you want to buy a flamethrower and just burn everything to the ground and start over – the kind of smell where God throws up Her hands in frustration because She realizes this batch is ruined. If I am wrong (and I am pretty sure I’m not) and this smell was simply the olfactory product of some fellow’s morning constitutional, then at the very least a doctor should be called – or a licensed dietitian. Not some, “How does next Wednesday at 10am sound?” dietitian, but a fucking hazmat-suited, ambulance-driving, red light-running EMT dietitian followed by a caravan of Servpro trucks. Because this shit LITERALLY is NOT OK. So yeah, good for you finding your comfort zone – even if it happens to be in your house. I’d say you had a strong case for a trip to HR prior to this pandemic, but now you seem to have stumbled upon a solution that won’t burden them with your complaints. So yes, talk to your boss – right now – and let her know that you think you can make this work permanently, if given a chance. I don’t see that as taking advantage of a bad situation, but rather being enlightened by one. Good luck!

Mr. Smarty Pants Knows Before society accepted that germs spread disease, there were several now- disproved concepts. These included the theory that a miasma (a noxious form of bad air) could emanate from rotting organic matter and spread disease. The 1927 British animated short “Giro the Germ” may be the first film to encourage people to wash their hands to prevent the spread of disease. According to a 2018 story in New York Magazine, less than 60% of web traffic is by actual humans. A report published by Distil Networks said that bots accounted for 38% of all online traffic during 2018. It is impossible to view a vampire through a reflector telescope due to its use of mirrors. As of 2002, actor-comedian Lily Tomlin’s favorite book was Annie Proulx’s 1993 novel, The Shipping News.

Above is information that Mr. Smarty Pants read in a book, a magazine, or the newspaper; heard on the radio; saw on television; or overheard at a party. Got facts? Write to Mr. Smarty Pants at the Chronicle, or email [email protected].
