Why is it unnacceptable to do a painting in "Shag's style", but it's seemingly okay to rip off other lowbrow artists actual images? Think of how many people over the years have done their own Rat Fink based art (Ed "Big Daddy" Roth), or copied flying eyeballs (Kenneth Howard "Von Dutch"). This seems to be accepted, but do a Shag style painting and some people will villify you. What gives?
