Anecdotes
- Full list: here
- Kevin's forums avatar is an image from Max Ernst's collage novel A Week of Kindness or the Seven Deadly Sins (1933-34), taken at the MoMA.
- Kevin's signature on the forums mentions that he won 2018 and 2019 NSC - this is not true, as he graduated high school in 2015. This blatant lie was intended to mislead people as Kevin was a national champion and a "Kevin Wang" did win those titles, making it easy to be confused.
- John Lawrence once mistakenly asked Kevin what the progress on Imaginary Landscapes 5 was after confusing him for Kevin Wang (TJ), leading him to post a joking wrap-up message on the forums
