Look at his feedback. It's horrible. 48 negatives in the last 12 months? Not that I'm defending him, it's obvious he ripped off the style, but I can't recall, are these actual copies of SHAG, or just total look alikes?

these are direct copies of old shag pieces and as a result, they become look-a-likes.....there's one from the leeteg show a few years back, which I have an actual print of by shag..and the one featured in the link I believe is from another show or event that shag did the art for....this is not merely imitating shag's style, this is a direct lift of his original works in all it's detail ....no new elements added as far as I can tell.......to imitate a style and produce your own design in that style is one thing, but to directly copy? where is the art in that?? apparently art boy must have slept through that part in "art school".......
