Since when does Shag owe it to people to "stay cool"? As was said previously, he is in illustrator. He gets paid to do commercial art. The more jobs, the more money. He ain't Mother Theresa... who would turn down more money to do something you love to do? Any of you here?

I like my shag book, I buy shag wrapping paper for gifts, but I would never fork over the big bucks for prints or mugs. To me, he's kind of like Hello Kitty. It's fun to buy little trinkets here and there, but I certainly don't need to buy every Hello Kitty thing that hits the market*. I am not sure why some people feel they have to have everything the man ever put his stamp on... and then get upset about the prices, or the amount of Shag-ified goods (while still buying said goods at said prices). I do not understand this phenomenon.

*OK, maybe the Hello Kitty vibrator. But that's it.
