    • An intimate visual record of the cult musician and artist’s creative universe, unfolding across more than 150 pages of drawings, notebook excerpts, and ephemera. Best known for his homemade cassette tapes and fragile, emotionally direct songs, Johnston’s art captures a similar energy—obsessive, childlike, and charged with a deep undercurrent of longing. Structured loosely around Johnston’s personal mythologies exploring his fixation with Captain America, cartoon frogs, satanic battles, and unrequited love, the book reads less like a traditional monograph and more like a feverish, outsider’s diary. Demons sit beside superheroes, love letters are layered with religious anxiety, and scribbled song lyrics loop into drawings.
