"His career hamstrung by bipolar disorder and stints in psychiatric hospitals, Daniel Johnston first found acclaim as an unguarded and guileless songwriter in the late ’80s with tunes that cut instantly to the emotional quick. But he drew obsessively for more than half a century, too, creating a cosmos of characters — affable ghosts, flying eyeballs, his famously friendly frog, Jeremiah — that revealed his insecurities and hopes, sexual frustrations and religious aspirations ... Daniel Johnston: I’m Afraid of What I Might Draw is the first authoritative collection of Johnston’s art and a revelation about how he experienced the world." — The New York Times"This nearly 400-page volume showcases the legendary artist and musician’s drawings, spanning four decades, making it the most comprehensive collection of Johnston’s work to date." — Curated Texan"The talents of the late American musician Daniel Johnston first came to light when he worked at McDonald's in Austin, Texas, in the mid-1980s, where he would give customers homemade tapes of his alternative and lo-fi music. This book focuses on the drawings he made alongside his musical career. The colorful illustrations give new insight into the childlike quality of his songwriting." — Financial Times, HTSI
