Who is David Shrigley and why people love the work

A contemporary artist known for deadpan humour and wobbly, hand-lettered drawings, Shrigley has a knack for saying the quiet part out loud. The result is art you can use: mugs that call out your mood, notebooks that nudge your thoughts, cards that land the joke. It’s smart, snarky and strangely uplifting.
