SHAG ARTIST SERIES

This series is dedicated to one of my favorite contemporary artists, Shag. His work is directly inspired by both the illustrative commercial art of the 50’s an 60’s and modern lounge aesthetics.

LOCATION: Hendricks Park, SE Eugene

Park in the lot near the intersection of Fairmont and Floral Hill. Look for restrooms nearby and a big gravel trails that leads S/SW from them. You’ll notice a sign that warns people to pick up their doggie doo.

BOX 1: SKULL
Continue on the big gravel path. Pass 2 trails on your right and keep your eyes peeled for a smaller third path. Take it. You’ll see a mossy knob your left, and farther down the trail a mossy log/stump to your right. The box is hidden inside the large cavity on the backside of this log/stump, covered with as much bark as we could find. Please re-hide well. Head back to the big gravel path.

BOX 2: TIKI
Onward on the big gravel path, you’ll come to a major junction with paths heading off in several directions and a big cement/stone structure. Take the path that leads in the direction opposite of the white arrow. Not very far down this path look for a big, jagged broken stump on the left hand side. Be careful, since it’s up a small embankment. The box is nestled on the backside of the giant “V” itself; you’ll need a good stick for this one. It’s been hidden under some moss…please re-cover it well. Head back to the cement junction.

BOX 3: CAT
Back at the junction, follow the arrow this time. Look for a small but well-worn trail on the right, off of the main arrow path. Soon you’ll spy a large ivy-covered tree with a smaller tree hugging it tightly. Look to the backside of these trees, at the very base where the box can be found shrouded in ivy.

BOX 4: MONKEY
Stay on this same smaller trail; don’t go back to the arrow trail just yet. When you have to make a choice, choose left. Over the log. When it’s time to choose again, keep left around another fallen log. About 7 paces from this log is another on your right-hand side, completely covered in ivy. Check out the backside of this log, under a thicket of ivy, where the box is snuggled under some bark. When done, re-trace your steps back to the arrow path and the cement junction.

BOX 5: SIGNATURE
Again at the cement junction, choose the smallest of the path choices. It’s a small path that leads off behind the big cement/stone structure. Walk this path and look for another small path on the left that leads downhill to a big “snag” with a rectangular rock in front of it. At first it just looks like a huge tree, but then you notice it has no top. There is a decomposing log between the tree and the rock. Search the back left-hand side of the log. The box is wedged in the hollowing underside of the log, covered with some ivy and leaf/bark debris.
