Get Your Shit Together

Description

This is the most comprehensive book to date on the work of beloved British artist David Shrigley. His recognisable, quirky, and minimal drawings are accompanied by his witty sayings and wry observations. This large-format book celebrates his prolific artwork in colour and features some never-before-seen pieces. Shrigley's work has appeared on a wide array of merchandise, in numerous collaborations with brands such as Comme des Garcons, and as album covers for musicians such as David Byrne. His artwork famously lines the walls of Sketch of London, designed by India Mahdavi and hailed as the most Instagrammed restaurant in the world. Additionally, his work is in museum collections around the globe, including the Musuem of Modern Art in New York, the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, and the National Galleries of Scotland in Edinburgh, among others.

David Shrigley is a celebrated British artist working in a distinctive drawing style that combines handwritten humorous text with childlike imagery of animals, people, aliens, and everyday still lives. In addition to his drawing practice, Shrigley also creates large-scale installations and sculptures that are derived from these works, as well as books, videos, photography, and other media.
