I came across this Flash animation series by a young artist named David Firth. Salad Fingers is a dark, sometimes comical but more often just plain disturbing look inside the mind of a lonely, childlike soul who enjoys nothing more than to stroke rusty metal surfaces with his long green fingers. I really enjoy the artist’s visual style and the devices he uses to convey the animations’ bleak and subtly discomforting atmosphere.

The series is available at Newgrounds as well as on David’s homepage. Not recommended for children.
