LTD caught up with the infamous Dust La Rock on the eve of his “Best of the Beast” show in NY. He was kind enough (don’t take that as weakness) to Take 6 with us.

How did you end up calling yourself Dust La Rock? Has anyone from I love
Dust challenged you to a duel or anything?

I used to sell acid and dust (pcp) in my younger days, henceforth the name.
This was far before entering the design world or “I Love Dust” existed. If
anything, I take it as a sign of affection from them..

Why can’t Graphic Designers just do what marketing tells them to do? Don’t
designers know that people who can’t draw and have never even so much as
been to MoMa, know exactly how long it takes to design from a visual stance?

Wait. What!?

Wacom or Pencil or are you mostly using alchemy these days?

Pencil, mouse, sacrificial virgins & sex magick. In that order.

How’s your upstairs neighbor with the cement shoes and elephant feet? Does
he still do the Richard Simmons jog in place work out at midnight?

Somebody actually reads my tweets? It’s a nightly routine, one neighbor
jumps rope for hours on end, the other paces incessantly whilst screaming
loudly in a effeminate voice. I just turn the volume up..

As a stakeholder in Fool’s Gold, what’s it like knowing you could beat up
your entire office? Does that help your creative vision go to
production?

It’s a short-lived headiness usurped by the stark reality that they all get
far more shine than me. I’m fairly anti-social at best and wouldn’t have it
any other way.

We heard that you have a sweet little record collection… How do you keep
Atrak and Nick Catchdubs off your shit?

Their musical pockets are understandably deep as well and more importantly
they don’t obsess over classic/spiritual/acid house, industrial, and
psychedelic rock like I do.

Ok, we know it’s Take Six but… can you draw something cool right here…
Please?
