The Stranger

An excerpt from Chicago painter Derek Erdman's interview with himself: "I see that you've painted Hitler, KKK members, John Wayne Gacy, and many other unsavory characters. Is there anyone you would absolutely never paint?" "No. If I think I can sell it, I will paint it... if you paint Holly Hunter on a Honda CB200 held up by a candy cane on the roof of the Wieners Circle, well, you're going to sell a couple of those." His paintings are big, raw, and slightly out of control. (The Anne Bonny, 1355 E Olive Way, 382-7845. Noon–7 pm, free.) by Jen Graves
