Along with writing music, he is also an artist/cartoonist, who designs his own album covers. In a sad literal case of the MadArtist trope, Johnston has been diagnosed with both bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, and has been in and out of mental institutions. He suffered many [[CreatorBreakdown breakdowns]]. His most memorable one was a literal breakdown in 1990 where he caused his fathers plane to crash. Fortunately, both survived the crash only mildly injured. His 1983 album ''Music/HiHowAreYou'' also remained unfinished due to a mental breakdown.
