5 days until the release of The Art of Daniel Clowes: Modern Cartoonist! (…plus your chance to win an autographed copy today)

…and our countdown continues with more Clowes extras that couldn’t be included in the book.

Joey Ramone talks about Clowes and I Don’t Want to Grow Up & the Launch of the danielclowes.com YouTube Channel

[Video Link] Alvin says: "Daniel Clowes drew the art for the Ramones animated music video for their cover of Tom Waits's “I Don’t Want to Grow Up” in 1995. This clip, transferred from one of Dan's dusty old VHS tapes, features Joey Ramone talking with Jerry Bryant about his collaboration with Clowes. We’ve included some storyboards for the video."

With this post, we are officially launching the danielclowesdotcom Youtube channel where we will post more archaic video oddities taken from an old box of VHS tapes in Dan’s basement.

Why thank you, kind Sir. That is a still from a picture story I made a few years ago.
I’m not a big twatter/twitterer(?), but I like to send the occasional message to certain folks who make me laugh. I found this here site because of the current Clowes freak-out. I really like it here. I find many of the posts interesting. I’ll be sticking around.

    Wow. Thanks again. I film a lot of artists I like, most of which are friends. Also make videos for myself and others. The Zintar clips are me playing guitar. I am happy to be here and thanks for the warm welcome.

I just realized that although I have very few autographs from anybody I have a Ghost World comic and DVD signed by Clowes. We spoke very briefly about Enid’s Raptor shirt. It doesn’t make me not want to win this contest any less though.
