One Thousand Cranes

Damien Weighill

Artist Website

Damien was abandoned at birth, deep in the idyllic woodlands of the North East of England where he was adopted by a local clan of bigfoot. His youth was spent making brief and indistinct appearances on campers’ home videos and learning a rudimentary form of communication which the bigfoot called drawing. After difficult teenage years where he was teased for his lack of body hair and found it difficult to buy stylish footwear for his cursedly proportional feet, Damien headed South for the the bright lights of the circus. Rejected by the Circus Master because the size of his feet were wholly unremarkable in this unfamiliar human world, Damien was forced to get by on his only other talent. To this day he can be found peddling crackpot drawings from his luxury penthouse cave in the East of London.
