title: SHAG: The Collected Works
author: Shag
description: "There's something about Shag's paintings and illustrations that instantly make me feel carefree. Sitting in sweats, slurping coffee on a dripping day, in my mind I'm casting bon mots over a pool full of the coolest people on the planet.<br /><br />And sure, it may seem shallow, but what if we could live in a buoyant, optimistic world where sexy partygoers pose in fabulously transparent modern homes? Where stars twinkle over a square-jawed Romeo seducing a lingerie-clad lady over the phone, and Tiki totems lord over talked-out barflies.<br /><br />If such a place exists in the real world, please invite me. I'll bring the cocktail umbrellas." The Oregonian<br /><br />"Shag's light and dark, artistic and commercial work is all on glorious display in a gorgeous new collection titled 'Shag: The Collected Works.' This book levels Shag's wide playing field, encompassing his acrylic paintings as well as the things featuring his artwork you aren't likely to see hanging in any museum. ... It's all marvy. So is his taste in pop culture as he gives The Beatles, The Ramones, The Velvets, the Universal Monsters, 'The Twilight Zone,' 'The Planet of the Apes,' 'Star Wars,' 'Batman," and Disneyland the Shag treatment." Psychobabble
