Uncle Jazzbeau’s Gallimaufrey

evacuation assembly area

There’s some signage in my workplace parking lot which always catches my eye:

The other day, a colleague brought along a used analog camera he’d just got, and as it was loaded with film, I snapped this. A month or so later, he scanned the developed photo and sent me a JPEG.

& þe boot was shaggid

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.
