salad fingers

“I always hated flash films, they didn’t ever move me at all, I hated the low frame rate and I hated the fact they always seemed to be unfunny computer game parodies or digs at Metallica and Eminem. So I guess that’s all I ever expected to see when I clicked on a flash film. I avoided flash for ages but no one wanted to spend 25 minutes downloading an AVI. I guess people expect a flash movie to make it’s point in around 1-3 minutes, maybe they expect to laugh or see some cool violence all rounded off with either a punchline or an ending, so I made sure that with episode 1 they got none of those ingredients and as I expected it got ignored and mocked.”

Don’t miss the entire series of David Firth’s Salad Fingers. He’s odd, quirky, and a bit off his cake. All seven episodes can be found along with some other of David’s animations at his web site

Also don’t miss the fascinating interview with him at semantikon. LINK

Lorem Ipsum is a design text placeholding tradition, based on tens of centuries old Latin text.
“Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..”, comes from a line in section 1.10.32.”
