I am familiar with pictures purportedly depicting a Bozo Texino. From themit is 
my understanding that a Bozo Texino is a simple line drawing made ofwhite or 
black chalk which can be scribbled in less than a minute. I believe the classic 
Bozo Texino was signed as such.

What I saw was not a simple line drawing. I am referring to multicolored, large 
murals depicting a head and shoulders portrait of a brown-skinned Mexican man 
in a gray hat and wearing a very blue shirt. The cursive writing to the 
portrait's immediate right is very elaborate in a lighter gray, perhaps Silver, 
color. I'm guessing this mural was made with several spray cans of paint and 
took quite a while to do. In fact, unless this graffiti was applied at a 
loading dock the artist would have had to stand on a latter or have other 
scaffolding to make it as tall as it was. The top of the hat was about halfway 
to the roof.
