We've known this Portland based artist for years, back when he lived in SF. Well, he's got a show at the NYC based Joshua Liner opening Oct 11th. Manuel Bello interviews.When writing about Damon Soule, where does a guy begin? The best way I can describe Damon Soule is he is that kid on the playground who gets you to do all kinds of crazy shit, that you later regret. But somehow the moment he is not around you wish he was so you could do it all again. Cut to the adult version, of coarse. Damon is never one to take himself too seriously. Oh, did I forget to mention he can paint your brain into a complete stupor. It is not everyday I rave about an artist like Damon Soule, actually that's a lie, but I will say Damon's art is from another World, one I obsess over and wish I could go to. Seriously, all slap-shtick aside we could not be happier about showing you his work, while providing a glimpse into the mind of the illusive, Damon Soule. Prepare yourself!
I'm not really sure but a therapist once told me I had a borderline personality, with narcissistic tendencies. Not to mention the OCDÂ… I don't have a problem though.
It was like a Budweiser tall boy, a bag of Cracklins with the little hot sauce packet and a pickled pigs foot from the huge pink jar on the corner store counter. It also involved a lot of fishing, cut-offs jeans, and the sweet sounds of The Allman Brothers, wafting through the mosquito filled afternoon.
Some kind I'm sure, but I couldn't tell you which. What I can tell you is I don't care about Biodiversity, melting Polar Icecaps, or raising any kind awareness.
Stump town, rose city, and birthplace of 'The Shanghai', Portland Oregon.
Um... Ex-girlfriends mostly.
Yes, I have a sixth sense for the police and because of that I haven't been arrested since I was 17. However, that hasn't stopped me from doing plenty of alcohol fueled dumb shit.
Two for drinking, and one for public urination.
Potato farming, competitive darts, pitchers of PBR, gaining weight, and college girls.
Ha, I just really like that movie... Oh and Michael Jordan. I'm thinking about switching it up to number 301 though.
Sarah Mclachlan, Gordon Matta, Clark, Nietczche, Yoko Ono, and myself. Wouldn't that be an awesome Dinner Party?
Yes and I've been in close contact with one for quite a few years now. He is difficult to communicate with due to the differences in our home worlds. Although, I cannot tell if it is his cultural, or his speech patterns. He goes by the name of Mario Martinez.
If I was, I would be busy working on a device to call home and get a lift back. But no, as far as I can tell I am stuck here.
Armageddon and the end of life on this planet as we know it.
I'm working on another new book with the Convergence guys and there will be a couple more people involved with this one. All the other stuff I'm working I can't really talk about because of nondisclosure agreements. I guess people think their ideas are so groundbreaking they don't want anyone else to scoop in on them. But I can tell you with confidence, that although the projects are interesting they aren't that special.
Well if they hadn't put so much energy into trying to sting people they might not have had such a public relations problem. However, I will for sure miss fruits and vegetables when I am forced to eat mud for dinner, every single night.
Great question! Most likely heroine, or crack or maybe I'd buy one and ones.
If I knew how to love it would probably be great but because I seem to have an inactive frontal lobe I tend to not empathize well enough to feel that emotion.
With every fiber of my being.
Sucka free!
Be sure to see Damon's show in New York that opens Saturday, Oct 11th @Joshua Liner.
