Author Biography
David Shrigley lives and works in Glasgow. He studied at the Glasgow School of Art and, since graduating in 1991, he has participated in exhibits throughout Europe and North America including the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; the UCLA Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; and the Camden Arts Centre, London. His drawings have appeared in a music video for Blur as well as numerous magazines and newspapers such as The Independent on Sunday, Cabinet, and Parkett.
Reviews"Unlike anything you've seen before, wonderfully weird and hilarious. Suggests James Thurber on a serious LSD overdose." Todd David Schwartz, CBS Radio "Shrigley's art, like a psychotic version of Matt Groening's Life in Hell cartoons, gives voice to those aspects of ourselves that we most fear and try to keep hidden, but have always longed to express." The Guardian (U.K.)
