This is a synopsis of the story of Sum, on which the character development of the figure is based.

"THE LEGEND OF SUM"
[© Bob Conge 2007]

Driving home from the local red neck bar one moon lit summer night, Roy swerves his pick up toward a dark shape that is slowly moving along side the road. A loud CRACK shatters the darkness as the front tire breaks the giant snapping turtles' shell in two, right down the center. The great snapper rolls down the embankment into the stream and Roy's laughing fades as the truck turns to cross the bridge to his shabby farm house across the stream.

The turtle, floating belly up is carried downstream to the other side and is swept into a quiet eddy where he sinks watching the moon fade from yellow to blood red through the darkening water.

This small pool cut into the bank of the stream was at the back of Roy's property and he used it as his personal dump site. The water caught in this hole became a terrible toxic soup of motor oil, fertilizer, broken toys, bones and entrails of many slaughtered animals, rusty tools and who knows what else. Over the next few months, a strange transformation took place in this evil chowder as it baked in the summer heat. A creature of revenge, born of cruelty and neglect slid its way out of the sickening mess one dark September night.

Roy's body was never found, nor could anyone explain the slime trail from the bedroom through the field behind the house.

Over the years that followed, other neglectful farmers vanished on moonless nights and folks reported vague sightings of a creature that seamed to be cobbled together from a collection of garbage, an old doll, bone, rotted skin, and broken tools, with a large snapping turtle skull for a head.

They call him "SUM".

“GENETIC BLASPHEMY”, the one man show of PLASEEBO artist BILL HAND, aka William B Hand opened last week at the Bug Jar Gallery in Rochester, New York. The exhibition of Bills recent airbrushed acrylic paintings will run through June 15th. The paintings, ranging in size from 20” X 30” to 32”" X 40”, are masterful expressions of Bills unique personal vision. He offers the viewer a glimpse into a wonderfully bizarre universe inhabited by a menagerie of strange creatures that seem to speak in allegories.

The provocative nature of Bills imagery is reminiscent of the 15th century painter Hieronymus Bosch.
