Your right BigBro, everytime I would go to edit the content of the post, the topic headliner would change too.
I guess the last time I was working on the size of the images (which I gave up on) I forgot to replace the warning notice. It is fixed now.
But the warning by the actual links was always there. Hanford did do something with the appearance of the links, I think.

Again I hope people find some kind of value in his drawings.
I might try to seek out more of his work (hopefully relating to Tiki) depending on how this thread goes.
My intent was to try to make the post "about art" that had been made by a major contributor to the Polynesian Pop culture.
Not at all about the artists sexuality, although knowing the sexual nature of the images I thought this might have to be handled delicately.

It is funny that there has never been a need to defend any homoerotic images that envolved women that have been posted on Tiki Central before.
But I digress, being of the delicate nature I knew they might be here, I tried to work a little humor into the post.

It would be really very sad if that by someone who admired his mugs, finds out he was gay and all of a sudden no longer found value in his mugs or other contributions to the Tiki world.

I really, really, REALLY had no intention about making this thread about his sexuality..."who cares" it was just honestly about sharing a mans work.

Gay, straight..whatever, I hope we can celebrate that some of his work is being shared here. I hope someone finds the content of the original post worth while, informative and maybe a little interesting.
