About Tarzan

In 2002, a small child was found wandering in the barren wilderness, speaking excitedly in a language no one could understand. To prevent the risk of injury to local news reporters and enlisted military officers, this extraordinary child was led to a luxury resort of detention and generally allowed to watch American cable news coverage of geopolitical issues (when not on call). Struck by a human interest piece concerning a fictional outsider artist who claimed to be actively mentoring a certain American president and well-known-painter-to-be, Tarzan — as this generationally fine outsider artist brut came to be called, apparently due to an inside joke nobody remembers the origin of — set out to repaint all of fine art's classic masterpieces in the refined but naïve style of a true craftmaster-statesman and eternal inspiration (albeit at one level of remove and without concrete citation of provenance).
