David Shrigley est un artiste célèbre pour ses dessins d'humour noir et souvent troublants. Son œuvre trouve sa comédie dans le banal, l'incongru et le bizarre, employant souvent un style de dessin délibérément grossier et apparemment brut pour amplifier l'effet comique. Bien qu'il travaille dans divers médias, Shrigley est surtout connu pour ses dessins mordants, fréquemment rassemblés dans des livres et des paquets de cartes postales. Son art se caractérise par un point de vue singulier et une technique distinctive, parfois intentionnellement limitée, qui confère à son œuvre une touche unique et provocatrice.

"Get Your Sh*t Together is the first book that exclusively features recent artwork in color by beloved British artist David Shrigley. This volume celebrates Shrigley's absurd, deadpan sensibility through both his signature drawing style and accompanying text. Organized by chapters with titles such as Stupid, Nonsense, Dirt, Fear, Paranoia, Love, and Self Delusion, this collection is sure to delight die-hard Shrigley fans and new ones alike. This is the largest-format book to date on Shrigley's prolific work, and features design details such as a ribbon marker with one of his mordant sayings printed on it, as well as hand-written, humorous essays throughout" --Amazon
