Documentary about artist mentioned in Episode 78 - December 28, 2006

[davidonabus]

Hey guys (and girls?)

I'm new to diggnation! (glad I found it.. I'm really enjoying it so far).

My first episode was Episode 78, actually. And I've since gone back and watched at least 5 old episodes!

My question is... Kevin mentioned a documentary about an artist that he saw recently. He also mentioned that you could purchase art off his website for around $35 bux. I skimmed through the episode trying to find the titles/names.. but was unsuccessful. I could rewatch the whole thing.. but I'd rather just watch and old episosde I haven't seen yet!

Can anyone help me out?

Is Daniel 3yrs old? Or possible 'special'?

No offense, but... I wouldn't pay $35 much less the prices listed on there.

Thank you, Sir!

That art work is a little odd...

From wiki:
"Johnston suffers from bipolar disorder[1] with psychotic features and religious preoccupation to the point where he has had to be hospitalized intermittently and his attempts at independent living have been largely unsuccessful."

Hmm guess that explains it.
