The Monster That Murdered Morton McFingley

The Monster That Murdered Morton McFingley
childhood memories on canvas
c. 1625

At the age of 12, Fluvio Nortnoodle was already an established artist and had terrorized most of the people around him. So in December of 1625, he was sent to live in the St. Avians Asylum For The Psychologically Troubled. The first drawing he made there - which he finished within 15 minutes of arriving - he called The Monster That Murdered Morton McFingley. It made such an impact on the residents there that the real Morton McFingley never again tried to intimidate anyone. Sadly, Morton passed away when he ran headlong through the giant stained glass window at the end of  the main corridor of the fourth floor when he awoke in the middle of the night to find the same image had been tattooed on his forearm.

Wise Van Het Hol once said about it, "At 12, my childhood was still wet ink."

"Dry ink is just really fast wet ink," Fluvio said.
