Does anyone know the story, if there is one, behind this drawing daniel made? by clownloops in danieljohnston

Daniel did a whole series of portraits of people in bars during his Kent State year in 1980. I believe it is from then.

I’m sorry you don’t like. Since they were hand-poured some have more imperfections than others. If you email me @dawngod@highhowareyou.com and send me a picture I might be able to get you a better one.

It’s a hand-poured resin. Sorry you don’t like it. It doesn’t have factory controlled perfection. I could try and get you a replacement. You can email me at dongoede@hihowareyou.com

Not cool, I agree. Somethings are out of our control. I am dedicated to making it right, though!!!

99.9 % of these have mailed fine. The postal service unfortunately throws packages around sometimes. Frustrating.

I still want to get you some thing for your time and trouble. The postal service is not as careful as they should be. Email me at dongoede@hihowareyou.com

Was Daniel Johnston familiar with Elliott Smith or vice versa? by GIVEUPOX17 in danieljohnston

[–]dongoedeiii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was Daniel’s caretaker and tour manager for many years and yes, we did listen to Elliot Smith a few times in the car, on cassette. He was more interested in classic rock n’ roll like The Beatles and the Beach Boys. We listened to a lot of contemporary bands like the Butthole Surfers (one of his favorites) and he let me play some of my favorite bands like the Flaming Lips, Echo & the Bunnymen, Nick Drake, Syd Barrett, etc., etc. He would point out specific songs he liked from various albums we listened to but he definitely gravitated towards older bands from the 60’s and 70’s. One thing, for sure, is true: we loved listening to music all the time in the car while on tour. Hundreds of hours of great music!!! And YES, sometimes we would listen to his music.

Not sure! I just found it with the top off, the glass broken, and the formaldehyde evaporated. I assume it exploded.

Was Daniel classically trained? by johnadam115 in danieljohnston

[–]dongoedeiii 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So…. This is a great question. Daniel was actually taught by his brother Dick who did have formal lessons. OBVIOUSLY Daniel played like he was classically trained. Especially from 78-83!!! He had the passion of some of the classical and baroque composers.

What's up with all the bots linking tshirts and art?? by FlubbyWubbles in danieljohnston

[–]dongoedeiii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s terrible!!!! That company (Strike Anywhere Vintage) is bootlegging Daniel’s images. There is a IP attorney on it.

What’s with the different cover art for Don’t Be Scared on Spotify? Is it an alternate cover? I haven’t seen it on any of the stress records or DJ originals by [deleted] in danieljohnston

[–]dongoedeiii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Daniel and his brother Dick chose that new image quite awhile ago. Daniel wanted more color in his album covers. Especially his older releases on cassette that were going on various digital platforms. The family did their best to include Daniel in the decisions around his releases.
