David Sollie is a conceptual artist who uses visual and written language to make sly commentary.

Shackway, Inc, was founded in 1948 by Sollie’s grandfather, Bruce Milburn. From humble beginnings as an importer of items made in Occupied Japan, the company steadily grew into a worldwide marketing octopus, selling hundreds of products in dozens of markets. Sollie's work in this series is devoted to his research into the company.
