I am the original buyer of these pieces. These pieces were purchased directly from www.hihowareyou.com and the now-defunct www.worriedshoes.com. The pieces have been professionally framed with heavy aluminium frames, acid-free museum glass and matte. Four of them come with their original Certificate of Authenticity on the back of the frame. *PLEASE NOTE: "THE END WILL NEVER HAPPEN" has no COA. I seemingly misplaced it. It is included in this lot without additional cost. It pains me to part with these, but they will only increase in value since Daniel's untimely passing. Will ship worldwide tracked and insured. Local collection can also be arranged. Any questions, please ask! DETAILS ABOUT THE ARTIST Often referred to as an "outsider artist", Daniel Johnston was a prolific, self-taught musician who began home-recording albums on cassette in 1980, gaining a cult following for his unpolished and vulnerable sound. Plagued by mental illness, he suffered from schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, as reflected in the unrestrained nature of his creative output. As a visual artist, Johnston drew compulsively with whatever was at hand, often using a ballpoint pen or coloured marker on printer paper, giving his works a naïve and improvisational quality. Many of his drawings were used as album art, including the recurring character "Jeremiah the Innocent Frog", featured on the cover of his 1983 album Hi, How Are You. Johnston gained further cult status when Kurt Cobain famously wore a Hi, How Are You album t-shirt on several occasions, including at the 1992 MTV Video Music Awards.Daniel Johnston released 17 albums over the course of his life and his artwork has been exhibited in Los Angeles, Zurich, Berlin, and at the Whitney Biennial in New York. He was also the subject of the award-winning documentary The Devil and Daniel Johnston (Sony, 2005).
