...Most people tend to think of Shag as being an artist and active participant in the lounge lifestyle. While these things are both true, Shag is also a published author and fan of linguistics. For instance, “Shag” is a portmanteau for “Josh + Agle,” similar to how “Jeremyriad” is a portmanteau for “Jeremy + Myriad”. While interviewing Shag for the release of his new Vannen artist watch, I took the opportunity to ask him a few uncommon questions. Kitsch culture-haters take note: there’s no tiki talk* in this Shag interview!...
