Zeitgeist's The Spirit of the Time Episode 13: SHAG

Passenger 13: American painter, illustrator, and celebrant of idealized 1950s, 60s, and 70s architecture, fashion, cocktails, tikis, and lavish lifestyles, Josh Agle (aka SHAG)!   Lost time is never found again, unless you're enjoying the art of American painter and illustrator Josh Agle, aka SHAG — the lucky 13th guest on The Spirit of the Time Zoomcast. Based in Southern California, Josh's distinctive style draws from commercial illustration of the past five decades, but is imbued with an attitude and sly sense of humor which is unmistakably of our time. His work celebrates consumerism and consumption in vividly colored, sharply rendered paintings, as well as celebrates beloved theme parks, films, television shows, and music from the mid 20th century. In 2005, he collaborated with Disneyland to create a large collection of stylized art to celebrate the park's 50th anniversary, including a park map, Hawaiian shirts, t-shirts, bags, mugs, and posters depicting every land and major attraction. Join us now for this exciting journey back in time where we'll discover how Josh Agle became SHAG!
