Creative Writing cover

The cultural icon is back: but this time, with no illustrations. Creative Writing is a thoughtfully designed, black and white book of David's comic writing - pure words, pure joy, pure Shrigley.

Featuring . . .


Creative Project
The shape of a banana
Whatever you create
it must be the shape of a banana
and look like a banana
That is the only constraint
otherwise you are completely free
to create whatever you want
Let your imagination run wild

and others . . .

With a casual gesture Shrigley points to that hideous shape whose name I've never known - and then he names it. And the name is profoundly, embarrassingly familiar. I'm laughing while frantically searching for a pen, so desperate to capture the feeling he has unearthed in me -- MIRANDA JULY
Shrigley's work is very wrong and very bad in all sorts of ways * * Guardian * *
Probably the funniest gallery-type artist who ever lived -- DAVE EGGERS
Shrigley mines a mordant, scatological seam, conjuring up the dark tradition of British humour that threw up Tony Hancock and Chris Morris * * The Times * *
