OTHER WORK
Many people know that Crispin Glover's geninus is not limited to the credits listed on his filmography. Oh no...he's had his artistic hand cast in numerous projects, such as books, albums (well one, but maybe more soon?), and his film "What Is It?". This section is meant to provide you with information about them.
*note* I've seen a lot of people paying some hefty prices to buy copies of his books on Ebay, especially if they are signed. Now if your looking for specifics, like a first edition of a certain book that's fine. But its MUCH cheaper just to buy it from Volcanic Eruptions his family's publishing company. You'll get them signed, and sent for only $27 total (each book). His CD is $15.
Another thing worthy of note. For all of the items listed below, Crispin is credited as Crispin Hellion Glover (his full name). To my understanding all of his own projects are credited as such.

FILMS
What Is It?
A Film by Crispin Hellion Glover. The first of three films, which will be released upon completion of all of them. The one in question stars a cast of mostly Down Syndrome indivdiuals but is not itself about Down Syndrome. Crispin Glover, and Fairuza Balk appear in this film. There's more information around the site, on the Willard commentary, and in certain interviews. There also happens to be a short description on the movie poster, which is linked below. If the idea of a naked, nazi Shirly Temple makes you uneasy I'd would avise against viewing the poster.

The Ben Music Video
The music video for the remade of "Ben", used in the end credits. This was sung, and directed by Mr. Glover. This is on the Willard DVD, alongside an excellent commentary by the man himself. It can also be found at willardmovie.com, if you don't happen to own the DVD. Both Alexa Lauren, and R. Lee Ermey appear in this video.
ALBUMS
The Big Problem does not equal the solution. The solutions equals Let It Be
A C.D with "words written and spoken" is how the website describes it. They did a good job, because I can't think of a better way to put it. Songs include "Clowny Clown Clown", "The Daring Young Man of the Flying Trapeze, AutoManipulator, and "These Boots were made for Walking" (a cover of the Nancy Sinatra song). You can buy this from Volcanic Eruptions, Crispin's publishing company.
BOOKS
RAT CATCHING
Done PRIOR to Willard, folks. These books are pieced together, from Mr. Glover brain and part of existing books. They include lots of pictures and such. Studies the art of rat catching. You can purchase a signed copy from Volcanic Eruptions
OAK MOT
Has sheep on the cover...hehe. A story of pride and prejudice set in 1868, and 1926, on the Virgin American Prairie. You can also purchase this from Volcanic Eruptions
WHAT IT IS, AND HOW IT IS DONE.
The site says this is published in a limited edition of one thousand so I'm sketchy as to it's available. A man's life in reverse told in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd person. Information at: Volcanic Eruptions
Mr. Glover has written many books, only a few of which are for sale. So if you here of titles such as "Billow Rock" or "Concrete Inspection" rest assured that he did write them, you just can't buy them. Concrete Inspection was available for a limited time, and that one you still see on Ebay every so often.
Know of any other projects I failed to mention? Have any news, reviews, or the like on the aforementioned items? Let me know!
