Project By
Has not connected their Facebook account.
Daniel Johnston has spent the last 20 or so years exposing his heartrending tales of unrequited love, cosmic mishaps, and existential torment to an ever-growing international cult audience. Initiates, including a healthy number of discerning musicians and critics, have hailed him as an American original in the style of bluesman Robert Johnson and country legend Hank Williams.
His songs have been covered by a number of well-known artists including Beck, Tom Waits, Eddie Vedder, TV on the Radio, Flaming Lips, Yo La Tengo, Death Cab For Cutie, Wilco, and many more. Daniel's artwork has been featured in the Whitney Museum and in prestigious art galleries around the world.

rockNroll....love your work! Thank You for all you do -
Hey Daniel, I've been listening to your music for the last few weeks when I found out about you... haven't been able to listen to anyone else. I'm very excited to have found this in time to pledge...

SENDING LOVE & MONEY YOUR WAY!!!
Thank for Liz, Meg, and Jon for the nice comments!
Your work has really resonated with me as an artist. I can't wait to see your music and artwork fused together in this beautiful project. Stay true and wonderful
i wish i could pledge, but im in johannesburg with no american bank account. what id give for a signed book, good luck daniel, we love your art.
Been a fan of your music and artwork for a long time, I'm so glad that you're making some comics! Keep up the great work, your inspiration is changing the world.
Mr. Johnston, I wish you luck with your project! I wanted to make sure you knew about http://www.shadowlinecomics.com/ though. They're a pure online comic that publishes special editions when it's worth it, which is the way all comics (and all media for that matter) are heading. But they're in a better position than the big guys because they're smaller, more agile, and forward-thinking. Just consider them in you're process. They're doing for comics what podiobooks.com and the new breed of indie authors who release free audiobooks are doing for the book publishing industry.
Thanks everyone! The project is a go!
Additional donations are certainly needed and appreciated as the project is developed launched and marketed.
And...a lot of cool pledge rewards remain including autographed first-printing copies of what is sure to become a collectable and original artwork from the comic book!
I hope the goal is met. I am glad to have helped!
