Y'know what? If he puts his art on something "unrelated" to his general genre, how is that selling out? What the heck, exactly, is selling out anyway? It sounds like something a bunch of Birkenstock wearing, Che Gueverra T-shirt flogging environmental studies types cam up with.

Business is business. A livelihood is a livelihood.

Now, let's say that a new art style was all the rage, like painting with worm poop. If Shag, or any other artist for that matter, dropped everything and went out and bought a few dozen worms to paint with, that might be considered selling out.

Besides, doesn't our constant banter and referral to Shag simply serve to increase the hype? Don't get me wrong, he's cool, the art's cool. I'm a fan.
