His story "Art School Confidential," which was featured in his award-winning comics series Eightball, became a film starring John Malkovich.Ĭlowes, whose other works include Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron, David Boring, Wilson, and Mister Wonderful, has been published by the most prominent comics publishers in America – Pantheon, Drawn & Quarterly, and Fantagraphics. He co-wrote the screenplay for Ghost World, which starred Scarlett Johansson, for which he earned an Academy Award nomination. Clowes is one of the few non-mainstream comics artists whose work has been adapted for the big screen. It's a humble statement coming from one of the most successful and influential indie cartoonists of our time, whose book Patience, out in March from Fantagraphics, is one of the most highly anticipated graphic novels of the year. "It's a strange job to sit in your room and think, 'What do I want to spend the next five years of my life obsessing over?'" That's how Daniel Clowes, cartoonist and the author of Ghost World, describes the life of a comics artist.
