David Firth (born 23 January 1983) is a film maker, animator, and musician from Doncaster, England. [1] His most popular work is featured prominently on Newgrounds, and a number of specially commissioned short animations have been shown on British television.

His work often contains a large amount of abusive language and dark imagery and tends to explore topics of a disturbing or surreal nature, such as depression and mental illness. Some of his work may be described as dark humor, while much of it is simple experimental.

Firth gained internet stardom after the third episode of his Salad Fingers series was featured on the front page of the well-known website, Newgrounds. He is also the creator of the faux documentary series "Devvo", which follows the day-to-day lifestyle of a stereotypical chav (played by Firth's longtime friend Christian "Crust" Pickup) in the UK. In addition to several broadcasts of "Devvo," David Firth has submitted short films for Screenwipe that were televised on BBC Four. [2]

Firth composes electronic music under the pseudonym of Locust Toybox.
