Shag Rocks!

Great book for ppl who love Shag's unique take on mid-century modern art. Love it.

A Calendar You Won't Regret Having

This is a great calendar! Shag is one of my favorite artists. His style is truly unique and his artwork definitely puts you in a retro-lounge kind of mood. It takes you back to the wonderful ultra hip, ultra chic, ultra cool, ultra lounge, ultra laid back, cocktails & martinis era of the 1960's. This calendar also exhibits some of Shag's more humorous and playful side as well. Each month will take you to a different part of the world, from Venice to Rio, to Paris and Tokyo. This is a great introduction to the world of Shag, but also for those who are already familiar with his work, it's another great way of having his work in your home (especially since all his prints sell out so quickly!). Be sure to check out his website: www.shag.com
