The Fangfingers Story ....

The Fangfingers story....

Fully subconsciously aware at the very moment of his birth that conservative mediocrity is a nearly inescapable iron maiden to a creative soul ....
...he was thrilled to comprehend at an early age that he was actually being reared by large hand puppets,  for this seemed to perfectly fit his mysterious subconscious awareness.

Unfortunately about the time little Fangfingers became aware of his parents uniqueness... they both died of the clap during a standing ovation during a preview screening of the Walt Disney film "Tomasina". This tragic incident ( his parents death not the making of the film ) inspired his earliest known work,  a finger painting titled  "My Parents Were Puppets ".
This important and (sort-of) personal work was stolen from his first rucksack in which he kept the few rucks he owned already and to date commands millions whenever it shows up in black market art auctions. Fangfingers however has never earned a single penny from it.

Then thrown into an orphanage controlled by organized religion he feared being branded for life by the obvious oppressiveness of the place on a free soul but by the time he escaped he had left the  sisters proudly calling themselves Sums rather than Nuns after he taught them to live with less fear and guilt as psychological underpinnings and to date are the only known order of Sums on earth.
This inspired his second earliest work know as "Sumthing from Nunthings". It was missing from his room when he fled the orphanage but it has turned up from time to time in art auctions and sells for  millions each time. Fangfingers however has never earned a single penny from it.

His first job of mediocre importance,  post-orphanage,  was as a factory worker;  a cracker salter at a leading saltine factory. After receiving the prestigious employee of the month award for sprinkling the perfect amount of salt to each and every cracker every time, and quickly recognizing that glorification of zombification did not include large cash bonuses and already feeling his mind decay from monotony, he fled the dullard job market in search of seeking his own fortune through his own means.
His mind, dangerously close to becoming permanently numbed by the experience managed to eek out his third earliest infamous and maybe most important work ... " Salt this !  ", which was stolen from the first gallery he showed it at. They did not have insurance.
It goes quickly when it turns up at black market art auctions for millions. Fangfingers however has never earned a single penny from it.

Throughout the ensuing years Fangfingers ( A.K.A. Jim Henderson ) provided many works of art and creative muscle to the public at large and to corporate scumbag types who saw him as an easy mark for extortion and thereby usually cheating him out of his true value.

And of course...the internet called to this infamous artist like a tone deaf, sloppy siren to a retarded Jason; a place where hundreds of people could steal his art daily and never give even a cent for it seemed instantly like home to him.

Visit his site and maybe donate a few pennies or even buy one of his works ....so that he can continue to make others rich with his own artistic merits and you will have done your part as well. He can be found at fangfingers.deviantart.com
