The Changing Shag

From http://www.shag-art.com:

"Though he considers himself more an illustrator than a "fine artist"...."

From the Argonaut article on the Shag A-Z show:

"I still think of myself as an artist, as opposed to a commercial designer or illustrator," says Agle

I wondered about that too. My first thought was someone messed up the quote.

I will still be able to purchase the Shag industrial sealers and Shag orthopedic foot pads, right?

Well, there's goes my hope for getting Shag to illustrate my Children's Book "Drunky Monkey the Pukin' Primate"

Monkey- there's always Crazy Al!

"When I was an illustrator, it was just the style that I chose, and I started using it in fine art, because I hadn't really seen anybody doing that."

Interesting article. Pretty much everything you read in any interview with Shag, nothing really new, but still interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Is shag drunk on his own success,
does he have an excellent business manager or is he the tip of the spear in reintroducing tiki to popular culture?
