Gatowag's original TPIA design

Gatowag is a fairly unknown member of the chat room, who remains largely unknown due to his reluctance to speak, despite creating the overwhelmingly loved TPIA shirt design. He is oft in the chatrealm during live shows, although his presence remains veiled in secrecy. He has teamed with Kuhan to create and distribute NSFW and BBLiveShow related apparel through CafePress.

To shed some light on the character that is Gatowag, he is a photographer / filmmaker residing in north-eastern Texas. He just recently graduated high school and is now attending a local college. He was first inducted as a viewer and member of the chatrealm around BBLive episode 10, and was familiar with Brian from the beginning of Scam School. He did not become a contributing member of chatrealm until the end of BBLiveShow's run.

He briefly resurfaced in the after show of NSFW Episode 30 with an overwhelmingly acclaimed Night Attack adobeshop, he designed another NSFW show shirt ("Classy as Fuck."), and created an unaired 10 second film for NSFW Episode 53. He really won over the chatrealm in the highly controversial Second 10 Second Film Festival with his short films If All Went Well and A SHORT Film. Although to the dismay of the [Internet] our guest host, Jason Howell, was ever so clearly involved in some mischievous and morally questionable shenanigans by submitting his own [video] and declaring it the ultimate winner.

What is a "Gatowag"?

Phonetically, gah-toe-wag or gat-oh-wag, pending on your localization. If you're Brian or Justin, he'll accept the "gaytowag" pronunciation, but he prefers the former. Gatowag is a recursive acronym and we'll leave it at that.
