I’d never heard of Orange County painter, Josh Agle (aka Shag) until today, but I’ll readily admit I’m not the hippest, lounge-art, tiki-ster (like, e.g., blogging buddy MrBaliHai who has both heard and written). So, it’s understandable that when I found out that my friend Jesse Schoem has a part in a play running down south in Lalaland called Shag With a Twist I started combing the googlized web for more info on Shag and his œuvre. And I must say, I do so enjoy it.

That's how it starts, Jim...Shag is the gateway drug into the fabulous world of Exotica. Before you know it, you'll be hanging out at the Tonga Room in a leopardskin smoking jacket and a fez!
