Last week, I posted the music video for the song “Molten Light” by Chad VanGaalen. That prompted this comment, from Mike Gravel:
Don’t care for the song but the animation is killer. I would definitely swing this more to the unsettling side. Reminded me vaguely of Salad Fingers by David Firth.
Because Mike is a guy who usually has good taste in art (at least as far as music and poetry), I decided to go and type [salad fingers] into YouTube. I’m glad I did.
I’m not sure what to say about Salad Fingers, exactly, except that he is a creepy little character, but something about him (and the animation style and odd, ambient music in the background) draws me in.
I’ve only watched the first episode, so far, but I can’t wait to see what else David Firth has come up with for Salad Fingers.
I love Salad Fingers. So bizarre and out there.Eventually you will find your way to Firth’s “Milkman”, which is equal parts obscene and hilarious, definitely NSFW and maybe not safe for the human race. fat-pie.com is the place for all things Firth.
Fat-Pie.com is now bookmarked.
I’ve watched up to episode 4, now. Number 2 was terrifying. Number 3 was weird. And number 4 was actually oddly touching, when the creepy little kid started crying at the end.
