Author Bio

Shag, illustrator of Surrey Books' Tiki Drinks and Shag Party, (aka Josh Agle) is one of the hottest pop artist around today; an illustrator and painter with an admiration for the clean, tight graphic style of '50s and '60s commercial art and illustration. Shag's art appears on checks, mouse pads, clothing, even Zippo lighters. He lives with his wife and daughter in their Southern California hideout, a tiki bar/supervillain's-lair. Adam Rocke contributed the text of Tiki Drinks and Shag Party, and is the author of Atomic Bodyslams to Whiskey Zippers - Cocktails for the 21st Century, all published by Surrey Books. A native of upstate New York, he grew up at his family's resort, The Nevele, where he learned to mix a mean Mai Tai by the age of ten.
