if by "sellout" you mean compromising one's artistic integrity in exchange for money, then no, i wouldn't say he sold out at all.

shag's style is cartoony and playful and not serious at all. his artwork isnt cool because its serious about a subject, or because it tells the truth, or becuase it's uncompromising in its vision. its pop art. its cool becuase it has style. its fun. so its on a business card holder.

and its not like shag is promoting other brands. we havent seen shag collectors Coca-cola can art yet. although i dont think that would be so bad.
