| ABOUT DANIEL JOHNSTON AND HIS
ART: Daniel's drawings - and particularly the characters in the
colorful pen and marker drawings of recent years - are spontaneous "stream
of consciousness" drawings. This is characteristic of the "compulsive"
artist: those who MUST constantly and compulsively create in their music or
art or drama. These drawings are products of his imagination in
motion. Daniel remarks that when he puts the pen to a blank page, he doesn't really know what is going to come out. As the characters appear, though, he imagines things that they might say - some of which may get put on the page. Many of the characters are recognizable, a few seem to appear only occasionally and some maybe only once. Some are people out of Daniel's past who appear as visages in the background, appearing to influence the story, although without explanation in the drawing as in his head. The appreciation for Daniel's drawings stems a great deal from an appreciation of Daniel himself. Those of us who know his music well (particularly the older tapes) feel an affinity to Daniel and we connect with that sensitive, creative and remarkably imaginative person in these pictures. Daniel is a rare anomaly, if for no other reason than for all the hell he has lived through, for him to be the artistic peddler of optimism and hope. If Daniel can hope, we are certain we should find it in ourselves to be hopeful. Thank you, Daniel.
Thank you for the MANY birthday wishes - Daniel smiled long
and hard reading through the emails!!! |

| On TUESDAY
January 6th, fans in Austin, Texas noticed construction at the old Sound
Exchange building on Guadalupe about to destroy the Daniel Johnston "Hi How
Are You" mural. Daniel Johnston painted the mural in 1993, and it has
been carefully preserved by the community all these years. Through the
responsiveness of knowledgeable citizens, fans, and the media, Baja Fresh
franchise and John Oudt (owner) are going to preserve the mural!! See www.hihowareyouj.com for more info. |
