Another famed example of Austin graffiti art recently succumbed to the paintbrush. We’re talking the female stick figure who jumped to her death on the side of the Stokes Parking Garage at 12th and Guadalupe. The beskirted lass tumbled, twisted, and turned on each floor. Her final landing was painted over years ago, but the entire artwork recently disappeared under dull brown paint. Color it one more sign of the Dallasization of “weird Austin,” more of a T-shirt slogan than a reality these days. We gave the leaping lass a “Best of Austin” award for Best Physical Graffiti back in 2001. May she rest in peace. – Joe O’Connell
