Foreword by Shag
Josh Agle, widely recognized as Shag (a name that fuses the last two letters of his first name and the first two letters of his last), is a California-based artist. His vibrant, audacious interpretations of the swinging lifestyles of jet-setters, cocktail lounge enthusiasts, attention-grabbing supervillains, and lively party animals have established him as one of the most celebrated painters in contemporary art.
