Endless Shag merchandise - Collecting Tiki

For a very small amount you can own a Shag. So it's only logical that it gets marketed. And the market will tell them exactly when "it's too much." It reminds me of Keith Herring. When does the Shag Swatch come out? Those simple, accessible images are too easy to make into everything you can imagine. I did get Kiliki the Shag Day Planner for Xmas. Comes with a bamboo pen! The other side is that it's also pretty easy to rip Shag off. How many of us have copied every image on his site to our hard drives? How many have used them in personal projects?
