This review is from: David Shrigley (Paperback)
How can you not love anything drawn or sculpted by this man! The book has many of Shrigley's quirky sketches plus the added bonus of seeing some of his sculptures...which are outstanding in their construction. It's so good, I'm seeking more of his published material! Good on you Amazon for stocking this! PS: The image of the nude water skier is not the cover for the book...It's Shrigley's dog chewing on a cast of the artists hand! Hilarious!!!
