Daniel Johnston’s Jeremiah Now an iPhone Game
Cult musician and artist Daniel Johnston can now add iPhone app to his growing list of commercial endeavors. The 99¢ Hi How Are You game lets players navigate Johnston’s iconic Jeremiah the Frog through a series of 27 levels, accompanied by his songs. We couldn’t resist giving it a try and must admit – it’s actually quite fun whether you are a Johnston fan or not. Download it from iTunes here
This certainly isn’t the first time Jeremiah has been used for commercial products. In the past few years the character has been licensed to numerous products including vinyl figures (yes, developed by yours truly), a line of Medicom backpacks and accessories, and countless t-shirt designs as accessible as your nearest Urban Outfitters. Earlier this month Activision released the Guitar Hero 5 video game, featuring an avatar of former Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain sporting a Jeremiah t-shirt.
