Gatowag

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. He has since abandoned Cafepress because Cafepress is terrible and can go DIAF. He now makes totally badass shirts at Spreadshirt, all hand-drawn in beautiful high resolution with a Wacom Intuous.
What is known of Gatowag is that he is a photographer / filmmaker residing in north-eastern Texas. He attends a local college. He was first inducted as a viewer and member of the chatrealm around BBLive episode 10. He did not become a contributing member of chatrealm until the end of BBLiveShow's run.
He surfaced in the after show of NSFW Episode 30 with an overwhelmingly acclaimed Night Attack adobeshop, 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"?
It's an acronym. Phonetically it's pronounced gah-toe-wag or gat-oh-wag, pending on your localization. If you're Brian or Justin, you can just call him "gaytowag" even though he prefers the former (but who really cares).
