I greatly admire the work of Tyler Quam. I have a shop in Maryland where I proudly display and sell his beautiful fetish carvings. I still have one of his black marble buffalos which I will keep and treasure. Although I did not know him personally, his majestic talent and artistic skill will be sorely missed. I send my sincere condolences to his family.
