Bora Boris, yes, that is a tiny snippet of the new work.

A few of the new panels were on preview at California State University, Long Beach, where Shag graduated from, on September 13 - 17, 2009. They are large Giclée canvases, like the ones from "The Flesh is Willing" show at the Laguna Art Museum.

Shag's take on Bosch's "The Garden of Earthly Delights" was also on display at CSULB. The new work is the same size as the Bosch piece, with dark colors and dreamlike imagery. I thought the work was completely recognizable as Shag, wildly imaginative, somewhat nightmarish (in a Shag style), and a refreshing new direction for Shag and his audience. I think most people will like it. There just seems to be a wider range of images and darker colors.

There is also a new book coming out, "Autumn's Come Undone" on October 15, 2009 from Baby Tattoo Books.
