INTERVIEW: Derek Erdman
Derek Erdman was interviewed last week by Newcity’s Jason Foumberg, for a blip on his blog. He should have done himself–or at least his audience, if he has one–the favor of using Derek’s own words, i.e. publishing the interview in its hilarious entirety. Instead he edited it into a boring report, replacing the subject’s thoughts with the reporter’s. The interview, in full and full of funny, is printed below, courtesy of the artist.
NHQ EVENT: Without Wax
WITHOUT WAX is Derek Erdman’s final solo exhibition in Chicago before relocating permanently to Austin, Texas on September 1, 2010. Erdman has lived in Chicago for 14 years. Over the course of the past decade he’s made more than 4,000 paintings, and sold more than 3,000 of them. In addition to painting, Erdman has successfully earned his living making and selling all manner of media, such as illustrations for web and print magazines, custom raps delivered via telephone, prank call CDs, self-published booklets and mail-order hamburgers.
