I've got a framed Shag in my house.

Still a 12'er at heart.

It's some sick joke.

I used to like his stuff about 15 years ago when it was new and fresh, but the times have changed and he hasn't evolved his work one bit.

The guy puts out a lot of stuff, but he's just coasting on one theme over and over and over...

I saw some in person for the first time over the weekend and I thought that it might be like the old 'the jpg doesn't show how great the print is in person'. But no, that's not the truth. Heck, I'm a Fremantle Dockers supporter and even then I was disgusted by the amount of purple on display.

I was impressed with some originals I saw recently.

If you don't like the art, that's one thing, but his prints, excuse me, his serigraphs, have consistently been some of the best examples of printing I've seen (super nice paper, thick thick inks).

Finne bringing the truth.

Finn is the mystery Shag hyper!

Yeah, ok, I could agree with that. The printing was good. But the print though wasn't.
