69.181.68.5 17:23, 16 March 2007 (UTC)Name69.181.68.5 17:23, 16 March 2007 (UTC) His name is Tobias Wong, I represent some of his work, he's one of the most influential designers of his generation.

Why does it feel like this guy is just one of those arrogant pricks that thinks highly of himself and makes a wikipedia article about his fake signifcance?

nothing could be further from the truth. Especially from someone who placed this on the press section of this website -

That Tobias Wong Guy should get a grip on reality and think about the way he’s treating what I believe to be a very sensitive subject. I am really not sure that the world is ready for a box-cutter as artwork.  – Amy Willis, via internet >surface* letter to editor  08.0. +|||||||||||||||||||||||||+ (talk) 18:17, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Notability

I see that the notability has been discussed a bit in edit summaries and on editors' talk pages, but for other editors there should be at least some discussion here. --Ronz (talk) 17:25, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Neon sign reference - needs clarification

What, exactly, is "the infamous neon sign in his East Village apartment window" mentioned in the article? Need a picture, source, description, something. Esprix (talk) 03:44, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

it was a big blue sign that said "Anus". Not joking. +|||||||||||||||||||||||||+ (talk) 07:44, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

New York Times: The Mysteries of Tobias Wong

The NYT has "The Mysteries of Tobias Wong", a 3-page article about Wong and apparent sleep problems he had that may have led to his death. From page 2:

The reason for this behavior went beyond the quirks of the creative temperament, friends and family members said: Mr. Wong was, clinically speaking, asleep. For years, he had suffered from a variety of sleep disorders known as parasomnias: in layman’s terms, he was a serious, chronic sleepwalker.

During episodes, Mr. Wong would rise from bed in a zombielike trance and perform elaborate tasks (bill clients, make funny outfits for his cats) that require agency and concentration, if not full consciousness. At times, his sleep problems took the form of a related disorder that researchers call sleep terrors — essentially, a half-waking nightmare state that the subject is unable to snap out of.

May prove useful in this article. --an odd name 10:00, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

thanks for the link, its a very interesting article. I added the information in brief to the page, but perhaps another editor cares to expand it; there is a lot of stuff with which to work. +|||||||||||||||||||||||||+ (talk) 10:52, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Title of Article

Isn't he better known as "Tobias Wong", not "Tobi Wong"? If so the title should be changed with a redirect on the Tobi Wong page. ask123 (talk) 18:21, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
