Portrait of the artist as a little prick.
Author and artist, Fagan Kuhnmuench, touts a long list of mediocre achievements, probably the least of which is this website.
As a wee lad in Milwaukee, he cut his comedic teeth when he illustrated the Holy Family as cannibal zombies in his First Communion Prayer Book. Ever the prolific storyteller, in fifth grade he authored a ten-part series about a time-traveling Mongolian who slaughtered Nazis in graphic detail.
At 18, Fagan moved to Seattle where he graduated from the University of Washington with a BA of Comparative Film. In college he began turning his illustrations into linoleum and wood prints.
A month after the breakup of his second, wildly unsuccessful punk band, he relocated again, this time to New York. It was here that he graduated with an MFA of Creative Writing from The New School and later with an MA of English Education from Brooklyn College.
In addition to his debut novel, Blowing Up Bushwick: A Novel and Manual, Fagan has also contributed to Rolling Stone, The Milwaukee Journal/Sentinel,Playboy, and many other publications. He also uses this site to raise funds for mutual aid efforts. Currently, Fagan is an NYC DOE middle school English teacher, and splits his time between Brooklyn and Mexico City.
