The first major anthology from the internationally renowned pop artist known for " bonkers, mordant, often joyously meaningless doodles" ( Metro). Pop artist David Shrigley's work is immediate, sometimes rude, and very funny, "like a psychotic version of Matt Groening's Life in Hell cartoons" ( The Guardian). His darkly brilliant, addictively hilarious scrawls from the subconscious have won him legions of fans and exhibitions at some of the world's finest art museums. The Book of Shrigley showcases the artist's edgy yet accessible off-kilter vision. Here are bad-tempered pets, strange attractions, work, S-E-X, knitting, wrestling, and a host of other everyday activities, dangers, and amusements laid bare in Shrigley's urgently illustrated panels and wickedly mischievous punchlines. Bursting with color and unsettlingly funny truths, The Book of Shrigley is the ideal introduction to this "UFO of the art world" ( Artsper Magazine).
