"

"
Call of Kapu" opens in London two weeks from today, 28 Oct 04 - no images on-line yet. Don't bother clicking the gallery link on that page - it takes you to the aforementioned useless
Paul Smith page. The Apart Gallery's site is

This original is a classic Shag subject that will only go up in value.
Isn't that bad mojo to promise that it will increase in value? What sort of guarantees are there - increase XXXX amount by XXXX time? Even investment bankers make sure to point out that they cannot promise a return.

Haven't seen one of
these in a while - a Tiki Tones necklace/charm.
Each member of the band had their names inscribed on the back of each necklace. Lord Wahini was SHAG's alter ego in the band.
Uh.... no. Shag was Lono or Shag Lono.
I wonder if Steeve Jacobs is still selling them for $5.00 a piece as the Tiki Tones web-page
states?

18.00" x 24.00"
Acrylic on Panel Framed: 30.5" x 24"

Sold (the countdown to it's arrival on eBay has begun)

Rog la Rue in Seattle is also hosting a Halloween-themed group show,
Monsters A Go Go (opening Friday, 15 Oct).
"
Surf Monsters"
Hopefully the album cover illustration for the surf compilation,
Surf Monsters, isn't the sole Shag contribution to the show.

Odd Shag find....
Tried out Amazon.com's attempt at a Google competitor,
a9.com, a few weeks back and found this image when doing a "
josh shag agle" search.
Clicking on the image's link on a9 sends you
here, a townhome write-up missing the Shag "homage" wall-painting.

Continuing the Pink Panther kick -
Stuff-O-Rama is selling some nice looking Shag/Pink Panther bar-ware.
Also, I've seen some Japan-only Shag/Pink Panther items released through
Sakamoto (site had some images, but they've gone missing). Anyway, it's the usual tchotchkes - pens, pencils, notepads, handmirrors, pencil cases, cell phone mascots, etc - everything any teenage Japanese girl would need.

Have you gotten a copy of the amazing "L.A. Modern" serigraph yet?
Give a finger to the eBay scalpers and instead call the nice folks at the
Los Angeles Conservancy office at (213) 623-2489.

Finally, the second sale of Shag's "Tiki Quartet" begins on 18 Oct - check out Tiki Central's

Nice set of images - too bad mine are packed up in a wooden crate crossing the Pacific Ocean right now.
