Danger Dogs from Nepal – Folk Art from the Himalayas
ShaShi
ShaShi works with his father at Om Sai Art & Tour Service. Om Sai Art is named in honor of ShaShi’s guru Sai Baba, a popular religious yogi from South India. ShaShi’s art is consistently of high quality, and often has added surprising touches in his backgrounds. He may put a halo around a dog, banners announcing Danger Dog, or put the Dog on a magic carpet. Fittingly, the triple Danger Cats above right were commissioned by a renowned movie composer, and he placed them on a vinyl platter. Talk about synchronicity. More often than not, he signs and even dates his work. His sister runs the travel agency, and his father helps out in the shop, it’s definitely a family business. ShaShi recently had his first child, a daughter.
