Daniel Clowes: “The only valuable class I took in art school was from a guy who taught display lettering which was literally like sign painting. Everybody else was like, ‘Aww man, I can’t believe I have to take this cornball class,’ where I was front and center every week. Still to this day I use everything I learned in that class.”

| Clowes created this font for the movie Art School Confidential |
We are fortunate to have worked with Jonathan Bennett, who designed every aspect of the book. He’s not only an exceptional designer but an accomplished cartoonist. Here’s an a comic he recently did for Spin magazine: Nevermind |

Early on, Jonathan Bennett flew out to Oakland to work with us on the book. He stayed in the Clowes’ guest apartment/basement and left behind a comic depicting his experience one of those nights. I don’t think he sleeps. |
