Daniel Johnston is a renaissance man…singer, songwriter, musician, poet, and artist. He also has a bad case of a crippling bipolar disorder. His mental condition is gift not just a curse and he has been able to harness his creativity and make some pretty cool art. Add the 2006 documentary about the man and his music -The Devil and Daniel Johnston – to your NetFlix cue to really get to know the guy.
Once upon a time, way back 1993, he painted a large mural of a frog known as Jeremiah the Innocent (which is a Three Dog Night song) on the side of the Sound Exchange in Austin Texas. The image became an icon and has spun into a t-shirts, tanks and onesie franchise. And now the image has gone 3D! Produced by At Arms, they retail for about $99 and are in limited runs : Green (250 pieces) White (350 pieces) Yellow (250 pieces). You can contact the store Cardboardspaceship to reserve one once they are releases.
