My son (aka The Little Baron) and i were watching the extras on Miyazaki's "Howl's Moving Castle" DVD and i noticed that Pixar's Pete Docter was wearing a Shag-designed Toes On The Nose aloha shirt.

(We're trying to get our son to cut down on the smoking, but his mom and i have told him that the gogo dancers can stay as long as he feeds them and cleans up after them...)

Digging through my list of links, here's yet another one i've yet to post - a short article in Variety from April 2005 about Disneyland's 50th Anniversary.

"I have had dreams about riding the Matterhorn and the car going off track and flying off into space," he says. "I don't think Disneyland would ever let me depict that in a painting, but it's there bottled up."

Also, while looking up info about Forrest J. Ackerman, i noticed that Uncle Forry will be attending this year's San Diego Comic-Con along with Josh 'Shag' Agle!

This is his first appearance at Comic-Con.

Been forgetting to post this for a few weeks now, but the "The Juxtapoz Group Show 2006" will be Ox-Op Gallery's last show.

From "No More Pooping Bambis," from the Minneapolis/St. Paul City Pages -

[Ox-Op owner Tom] Hazelmyer takes pains to point out that he's only shutting down the brick-and-mortar entity, while expanding the gallery's online presence and launching a new line of art toys. Likewise, he hopes to continue the relationship with SooVac that commenced with part one of "Juxtapoz," which opened in SooVac's Lyndale Avenue space.

---

Ox-Op filled an unoccupied niche in these parts, mixing sold-out exhibitions by the high-profile lowbrow likes of Tiki-god Shag and creature king Gary Baseman with shows by lesser-known locals. (Minneapolis's own Charles S. Anderson graced the Ox-Op walls with the image of a deer taking a dump.)
From the Ox-Op Gallery web-site's "News" section -

We plan on focusing our energy on several big projects that have been in the works, and throwing a monster blowout like we just did with the Juxtapoz 2006 Group Show seemed the perfect bookend to this chapter of the OX-OP entity as it transforms. The show being split with Soovac was no coincidence, as they’ll be hosting several OX-OP events in the coming year. Also we want to focus on new artists, and to be honest, that becomes all but impossible with a bricks and mortar space, and simple math. Also getting artists that have quickly become more established, back to the Twin Cities as they now get flooded with offers from NYC, Tokyo, Paris, etc., has become a far more massive challenge than in years past. We hope to start hosting some online shows for some emerging talent and some old faves as well. More on that soon –so stay tuned!

Good news from Outre Gallery -

Tonya Newton of retropopart.net had an interesting Shag siting in Nevada:

Just returned from a trip to Laughlin, NV where we stayed at the River Palms. Noticed a video slot machine that sure does look an awful lot like Shag's work. I just know it's either his work or a damn good likeness. It's called "After Hours" by Aristocrat (an Australian gaming company) and is copyrighted 2003. I've looked all over online and can't find anything on this machine or anything about Shag authorizing his work to be used on a slot machine. It is very cool. Yes, I did win $20.00 on it. I want one for my home!!! There are a couple of girls, a bartender, another man, and yes even a fez monkey. The barware symbols even look like his work. Maybe you can find something out that I can't find. That one machine was the only one I saw at the River Palms (believe me, I've searched!) and didn't notice anymore in any of the other casinos I ventured into. Wonder if Shag knows?!
All i've found so far is that the Harrah's in Tahoe and New Orleans have that model slot machine too.

greg356 is now selling his White Devil Tiki Mug #179 (of 250) on the eBay.

AND FINALLY... Below are the poll results for Most Requested Serigraph -



My fav? "An Extraordinary Evening" from Detroit's "The Leisure Principle."

The Baroness's fav? "The Raft Of Medusa" from London's "The Call Of Kapu." Interesting to note that "The Raft Of Medusa" was the clear winner of the "Call of Kapu" poll with 56% - 2nd place was "Five Pills" with 20%.

The Little Baron's fav? Seeing that he's a ten-year-old boy and none of the images involve anyone falling down a flight of stairs or catching a football in the nuts, he abstained from voting.

A new poll will be popping up when the images from "On The Shoulder Of Giants" are posted in the next week or so.

Latest issue of Juxtapoz (#64, amazing looking Nathan Cabrera piece on cover) arrived in the PO Box today -

Page 13 - Upcoming group show:
Von Dutch Tribute II
May 20 to Jun 10, 2006
Copro/Nason Gallery, Santa Monica,CA

(Nice looking 420-page "Art of Von Dutch" book to be released too)

[Word of caution, it would probably be a bad idea to wear any items from that Von Dutch clothing line allo the kids were wearing a while back to this show...]


Page 54 - Shag Bearbrick pictured, last row on right

Page 55 (bottom) - Shag Bearbrick pictured, 4th row back on right

Page 99 - Open-edition "Shagquarium" still available for $20.00

Great issue, good article about the history of pinstriping and I'm really digging Lynne Naylor + Chris Reccardi's work, especially Reccardi's painting on page 45, "Spaceport Op Art," which M Modern is selling a serigraph of as part of their "The Future" group show.

-----

Speaking of shows at Copro/Nason, their latest show includes Mike Leavitt's Art Army "Juxta-Posers" with a Shag action figure featuring 11 poseable parts, cocktail, and brush.

Shag is interviewed for an article about Mamie Van Doren in the Orange County Register, hostess of January's "Blonde Bombshell" Group Show at M Modern -

"She reminds me a character from 'Valley of the Dolls,'" Agle says of Mamie, of whom he created a new painting for the show. "A little bit decadent Hollywood lifestyle - not decadent in a bad way, in a good way.

"I think of her as someone (for whom) the idea of who she is is as famous or more famous than who she is as an actress," he says.

Killing time at work by flipping through Shag Ltd. and noticed that "Making The Point" from M Modern's "My Way" Group Show (opened Nov 20, 2004) is not included. Odd.

Friday, April 14, 2006

Bland, picture-free update...

Shooting Gallery will be hosting a Shag solo show in June of 2007.

Shag has yet to officially be listed as a participant, but seeing that he was part of "Tiki Art Now" and "Tiki Art Too," I'm thinking that he will take part in this year's Otto curated show. One change - Roq La Rue will be hosting the "Tiki Art Now" group show (starting Sep 8th) - a move from Shooting Gallery in San Fran, host of 2004 + 2005's tiki group shows.

Remember last fall's "Hot Lunch" Group Show at the LaLaLand Gallery featuring "My First Cocktail"?

i wonder if the fifty signed and numbered copies of the top five winners have been released yet?

-----

A black Shag/Outre/Munktiki mug from 2002 is up for auction on eBay until the 19th. Haven't seen one of them on offer in a long while.

Wednesday, April 12, 2006

Good news to anyone lucky enough to be attending June's 'London Luau' - you will have first dibs to buy a limited edition print of the artwork, signed + numbered by Shag.

Make sure to check out Cheeytiki's site as well, especially his gorgeous Ltd Ed Britiki mug (only 18 quid)!

-----

Monica was kind enough to tell me about a true Shag rarity and include pictures!

When Nettwerk Records released the 'Maybe This Christmas Tree' compliation with Shag artwork back in October of 2004, they also produced 35 serigraphs (12" by 12") of the image.

There were 12 artists on the record and each of them got one. There were 4 people that worked for the label that each received one and the other 19 were used for giveaways at retail and through online contests.

Monica is lucky enough to have #1 of that edition.



Before anyone e-mails to ask, i don't think she is planning to sell the serigraph anytime soon (if ever).

Odd how this wasn't included in Copro/Nason's 'Shag Ltd' show...

-----

M Modern's Syd Mead solo show, 'Timeline,' and their accompanying group show, 'The Future,' open this Saturday, 15 Apr 06, with the opening reception(s) from 7:00 to 10:00 PM.

THE FUTURE is possibly our best group exhibition ever! This is an incredible line-up of our top selling artists that have shown with m modern. These works are among the best we have ever seen show up at the gallery and the visions presented by these artists are sure to have you contemplating what the future holds for quite some time. Here is a line-up of the confirmed artists for THE FUTURE:

Josh (SHAG) Agle * Glenn Barr * Tim Biskup * Dave Burke * Brad Burkhart * Colin Christian * Luke Chueh * Dave Cooper * Joshua P. Davis * Bob Dob * Korin Faught * Paul Frank * Thomas Hahn * Naoto Hattori * John John Jesse * Joe Ledbetter * Chris Mars * Mars 1 * Mark Mothersbaugh * James Naccarato * Lynne Naylor * Robert Pokorny * Chris Reccardi * Chris Remmers * Joey Remmers * Dale Sizer * Morgan Slade * Nathan Spoor * Jophen Stein * Stone * Joe Vaux * and more!

Many of these originals are very large for this group and this show will later be put out as a catalog that can be purchased from the gallery website or from the store. Look for this in the coming months.
