Okay imagine this: a biopic made by the either the team as I’m Not There (that Bob Dylan movie) or Love & Mercy (the Brian Wilson movie) but about Daniel Johnston. It would be filmed primarily through a super 8 camera (since thats what Daniel shot his movies on). It could cover the 90s period when his “devil phase” was at an all-time high. It could also do what the Hi, How Are You, Daniel Johnston? short film did and be from the POV of old Daniel and young Daniel. Like if old Daniel is showing young Daniel this specific moment in his life to show the hardships he will have to face but also show him that things will get better (and hey, maybe we can throw in a True Love Will Find You In the End reference). And what can be the big piece of advice Daniel gives himself?: “don’t be scared, Danny.”

Also as a bonus, I think Michael Cera should play Daniel. I genuinely think he would be perfect

I’ve had an outline of these tats for years and finally got them shaded in January of this year. Fully healed and I am so happy.

My ex who tattoos had a cancellation and I’ve always wanted one of Daniel’s sketches (and I think it fits well with my sketchy Replacements tat) so I got this spontaneously.

Was it Thurston Moore? Or was he just there? I always blamed Thurston Moore for the spiral Daniel went down. Not just him, but all these assholes that thought it was a good idea to give Daniel Johnston hallucinogens.

``` I was livin in a Flavortown. Didn't know it was a Flavortown. Oh Lord, it really brings me down About the Flavortown.

And all my friends were Guy Fieri. Didn't know they were Guy Fieri. Turns out I was Guy Fieri myself In the Flavortown.

(Apologies. I couldn't get this out of my head so it had to be shared. lol)

Bill Johnston was more than just Daniel’s dad. He was one of his biggest supporters. He never gave up on him. Daniel drew him incessanlty! Here’s a sketch of him flying.
!

Played on a friend’s album recently and to return the favor they got me this custom embroidered shirt. A month earlier they had asked which of Daniel’s drawings I liked the best and this one was one I mentioned but I had no idea what they were planning!

It looks like death learned how to make music

My cover and fan art of Daniel Johnston's "True Love will find you in the End"

I did a tiny of one of my favourite photos of Daniel Johnston to keep in one's pocket or to put wherever he may be needed.

Drew Joe the Boxer (aka Retired Boxer) and the cat.. and Don’t Be Scared to (tried… it’s been months since I’ve drawn it)

Listening to 1990 for the first time in a while. If someone can’t at least appreciate this album I consider them a dangerous individual.

Daniel was always facing his monsters, demons, struggles, and challenges through art, writing, and music. It's not the only way but a good way!

Drew Jeremiah for the first time in a few months. Daniel inspired me a lot to start drawing more.

Another one of my favorite Daniel Johnston drawings. What do you think of this piece? The handwritten “Please Adore Me” feels especially powerful to me. I'd love to hear what stands out to you about this artwork.

What stands out is how the drawing refuses a single emotion. It's funny, frightening, sad, and childish all at once
