The Monitors,

I hope they release more large prints, too!
One huge Shag serigraph is NOT enough! :)
Beside, why should the Aussies get the only giant print?
Clearly, the sales of "Welcome to Our Glorious Lifestyle" have
to show Shagmart there is a demand for some truly huge Shag prints.
("The Extraordinary Evening" came close, but still sold out quickly.)

As for framing, I think what Link at Frame Fetish creates is amazing.
I can also see why, in a Tiki-filled room, that has to be the more "fun" choice,
and works better for keeping the lounge look going. As clean and elegant as
white matting and a black frame is, it might also read as "sterile" in a
full-tilt Tiki lounge.

best,

Gromit Fan

Hi Gromit,

Wow...I've always been a fan of "Welcome to your Glorious Lifestyle" print and that is amazing. I seriously hope Shag makes his future prints large like that. I don't mind paying more for the effect. I was fortunate enough to see the original at BSFA and just had a blast getting lost in the painting.

I'm also beginning to see that the plain white matting with the simple black frame seems to be the more popular choice.
