The majority of the artists in the mug field are very humble and low key guys with a passion for Tiki who do not make a big-to-do about their talents, so it is easy to not get "noticed" --but in this specific case and circumstances it is a bit hard to swallow. Very true Bigbro, and well-put. Squid is definitely one the most humble, but like you said, in this circumstance it's bit different because it affects his ability to earn an income. This book is number one on Amazon for pop culture books, so it'll definitely reach a wider audience than just TCers. Dave has both Squidart.com and Castaway Ceramics, and the omission of any links to either of his websites in the appendix was definitely a grievous error.
