Shag is obviously a Tiki art touchstone, and I understand how you could make your misinformed comment as this image is small and hard to see..But you would really must be a tiki neophyte not to know that Miles is a masterful artist and professional animator who has been in the tiki scene at least as long as Shag, and has dozens of a-list gallery art shows, has hundreds of collectors all over the world and in particular has had a set of amazing paintings in one of the worlds premier tiki bars, the Tiki Ti in Hollywood. In the immortal words of Ice Cube: "Check yourself before you wreck yourself".
