i'd just like to say one little thing about "big toe"... (pun intended) although we've never met in person we've shared a lot of walls in a bunch of shows (something about our color palette?? or our general weirdness??) heck, we even got to share a page in mad magazine! as an artist i've suffered quite a bit of unfair criticism because of shortsighted folks writing me off as a "grafitti artist" because of my chosen medium... (i'll admit spraypaint may seem an odd choice [especially for tiki] but it's my choice and it's what i know best!) toe has been incredibly supportive on this and other interwebnet thingamabobs, he's shown kindness where others have not, he's offered to let me share common space at oasis, and he's always raising the bar for himself and others as an artist... please, don't make assumptions about one's character based on a moniker or a thread when you don't know the person or the artist.

...not that he needs my defense but i consider him a friend and i find it a bit offensive... um.. now, if you're just having a friendly "nudge, nudge, wink-wink" wwith the guy (kinda like LLT) disregard what i've said altogether... he's a mean, ugly, jerk!
