In a welcome surprise, the Daniel Johnston Estate has collaborated with Clutter on a new vinyl art of the beloved outsider musician/visual artist’s signature frog character. The new Jeremiah The Innocent Frog deluxe vinyl art toy set debuts with the Hi How Are You? edition inspired by Johnston’s Hi, How Are You, The Unfinished Album (1983)—his sixth cassette album—which featured Jeremiah on the cover.
The new release features a resculpted design that includes a removable tree trump base incorporating Johnston’s Twig (or Sprout) of Hope and a speech bubble with the indelible phrase. Rounding out the tribute to Johnston’s art and his music, the rear of the figure features the original album art.
The previously released and long since sold-out OG edition from Art ARMS Limited quickly became a highly-sought after and prized collectible for fans of the singular artist. This new version opens up Johnston’s art to a wider audience while also offering a more complete translation of his original artwork.
Speaking of original artwork, Clutter is giving away Johnston’s Elvis We Love You original drawing (2004, 8.5″ x 11″). To enter visit Clutter’s channel on the NTWRK app right now. The winner will be selected as part of the release livestream.
The Jeremiah The Innocent Frog – Hi How Are You? vinyl art toy (9″ w/base) will be available on Thursday (6.16) at 6 PM PDT via the NTWRK app and Clutter for $125 with an estimated shipping window of Q4 2022.
