Hi,
We're selling off the last few remaining Shag items online at 6pm pst Wed., Jan. 28th. Due to the overwhelming mixed reviews from many on TC regarding Shag and the libel he's received here and due to the fact that he's my friend, this will be my last update to TC regarding Shag upcoming sales - it's my perrogative just as it is yours to post what you feel. For those of you who admire his work and appreciate his talent and our hard work, so much mahalo for your support... from a little ku in a big ku world.
Your amigo,
Holden

Hey Holden,
Can you keep me posted as to Tiki Farm / Shag stuff?
I'm quite happy with my purchases from the IATT Night.

That rots, To heck with the naysayers, I love Shags artwork, and can barley afford to collect it. PLEASE continue to post alerts concerning his artwork.
Thanks Jay

Thanks for the updates. I appreciate the information as it seems, others do as well. It seems that there has been a lot less Aloha spirit going around here lately.

Thanks for the notice Holden. I will try to pick one or two items up. Personally, I feel it is unfortunate that a few can ruin a good thing for everyone. I've always enjoyed both Josh & your own work and I will continue to purchase both. I understand where you are coming from & respect your decision....but it is a bummer. Thanks again for your continued hard work.

I don't know about anyone else, but the way I use these forums is to READ the TOPIC and then if I find it interesting I CLICK on it and then READ the post. If I find it UNinteresting to me then I DON'T click on it and move to the next topic.
Holden, please keep us informed in your Friends of the Farm emails. Aloha and Mahalo!

smogbreather,
Always have enjoyed your posts and you shouldn't have to feel any deterrence here.
Hell, look at me.

This is painfully absurd.
I can see why Holden (and Shag) would opt out of here with the way people act sometimes, but how dumb is it that it would come to this?
It's like being back in high school and having your 'intentionally uncool' friends declare that something is suddenly crap, just because it got that horrible sheen of mainstream success.
I mean - oh the horror! Someone found a way to make Tiki appeal to the masses! They're even making money off of it!
Can't people be happy for them?
Tiki Farm and Shag are significant factors in tiki culture being something that is alive today, not just something we hoard from the past.
This is just depressing.

It does suck.
I mean Holden is a salesman, and Shag is an artist. And in the terms of Shag and Von Franco, and The Pizz, it is art , not just a pack of chiki tiki ( the company not the person ) mugs.
I do think that Holden should still post here, and those who don't like his offerings, well, they've made their point.
Its just getting ridiculous. Can I be in the incredibly cool tiki-phile cabal that determines whats cool, and what isn't?

I, for one, would still love to see TikiFarm & Shag postings here. Though I may not be able to afford anything at the moment, I still enjoy seeing what's new.
