Hey Sushiman, nice to hear from you!

To my knowledge, no. :( (Nice image!)

Someone should make an online catalog of all of Shag's prints.
This website from Shag's sometimes-publishers over at Copro-Nason,
has everything up until a couple of years ago:
http://www.copronason.com/shagweb/index.htm

Also, the book, "SHAG, LTD" has every Shag
print released until about 2005.
Shag, Ltd: Fine Art Limited Editions: A Catalogue Raisonne (Hardcover)
http://www.amazon.com/Shag-Ltd-Editions-Catalogue-Raisonne/dp/0867196475/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1223919273&sr=8-10

Lovely book to look through and start coveting what others have. :wink:

I also see Shag reuses lots of elements, like the island.
The female in "Raft of Medusa" is a match for the one sitting
in the boat in "In Search of Tiki," and the figures in shadow
in "The Extraordinary Evening" were also in "The Discerning Guests,"
and the woman in the front left of "The Extraordinary Evening" is pretty
much a match in pose and facial expression to the woman in "Three Monkeys."

That may bother some people, but I love how it connects them all.
Repeated use of an element is something lots of artists do.

tiki-riviera,

You and I like "In Search of Tiki" for the same reason. I love all those
Tikis in the image. Could this even be a record for Shag of number of Tikis
in a single image released as a print?

Gromit ,

Do you happen to know whether or not a serigraph of Mr. Blue was done ?

Note this island in the background . Looks almost like the one in Medusa !
