Travel through Shag's creativity chronologically, enjoying themed creations from over the years, including cocktails & games, mythical & mystical creatures, rock-and-roll, and pop culture.

SHAG: The Collected Works contains collaborations with impressive design entities, including typography creation with prolific type foundry House Industries.
