lostwire
Artist, songwriter. Born in Princeton, New Jersey, the seventh of nine children.

Lostwire and his brothers Jackiewire, Titowire, Marlonwire, and Jermainewire were assembled into a live painting troupe when lostwire was only five years old. Despite his extremely young age, he soon distinguished himself as an exceptional artist of prodigious ability. No mere child prodigy, Lostwire had a gift for drawing that was not only well beyond his years, but would have been astonishing in an artist of any age. After winning several local art contests, the Wire 5, as the troupe was called, proceeded to draw and paint with an astounding passion, often while watching their favorite movie Ben.

Lostwire had his occasional bad moments—his head was burned during an awful motorscooter accident and speculation abounded that he had plastic surgery to make himself look more like Brains from the British TV series Thunderbirds — but by and large lost's image of himself was undimmed.

Even when beset by rumor and scandal — and such has been his situation for much of his career — lostwire has managed to translate adversity into more free time. While many argue that his work has been uneven, his contribution to the internet has been enormous.
