Actually, the graphic designer was Shag himself - he provided the publisher and I with a ruff draft of the final painting (based on a very slim concept I provided him with: i.e. a couple in a car driving down a road filled with Tiki Bars) which we enthusiastically approved. Then he finished the painting up and applied all of the text and logos himself. So the whole thing is a Shag design, that is to say he probably conceived the artwork while keeping in mind where he was going to place the logs and text, and then executed the whole process solo.

But, I don't want to bug him for a print right now, because he's super busy (I think his wife just had a little Shag Jr.), and he barely had time to squeeze my cover art into his schedule - and of course I am eternally grateful to him for finding the time at all.

So - I'll wait for the dust to settle before I bug him about getting a text-free scan for myself... and as far as sharing that image goes, well, we'll have to see how Mr. Agle feels about it.

Get back to me in a few months!
