Portrait of the artist as a little prick.

Artist and author, Fagan, 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 in grade school 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.

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.

Apart from 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. Very often, he uses this site to raise funds for mutual aid efforts, He splits his time between New York and Mexico City.
