I don't know how you warped my innocent little Shag post into the Kinkade tirade, but this is just awful, it makes Maui look like a sheet cake.

As for Shag and the Shark, jumptheshark.com gives it as a moment, a defining moment when you know that [it] has reached its peak. That instant that you know from now on ... it's all downhill.

I'd be hard pressed to say Shag's work is going downhill; although the elite tikist might consider him passe' as he has become mass-consume-able. Personally, I tend to think of jumping the shark as having lost relavence, and I think his images still evoke. Of course, the bottom line is that the bottom line is the yardstick of the lowest common demoninator, but in that regard, his prices have not waned.

After all, I started this thread hoping to get some of his mugs.
