Presented by Shag

From Shag’s (Josh Agle) earliest childhood memories in Waikiki, to the disintegrating Tiki bars he visited in his twenties, the influence of the exotic has always informed his art. His latest book, Shag Exotica, depicts tropical lounges, alien encounters, calypso singers, and pin-up girls, all set in a universe that exists outside the reality of this physical plane. In this lively seminar, Shag will discuss the creation of Shag Exotica– the largest collection of his work in one book to date!

Shag (Josh Agle) is a painter, designer and illustrator working in Southern California. His distinctive artistic style draws from commercial illustration from the past five decades, but the work is imbued with an attitude and sly sense of humor, which is unmistakably of our time. Solo exhibitions of Shag's work have been held in the United States, Europe, Japan, Australia and South America.
