Get Your Shit 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.
A personal message from the author: Lots of individuals in society
today are feeble-minded. They don't know what the HELL is going on.
Unfortunately many of these people are responsible for running THE
COUNTRY. They don't know the difference between a PRECIOUS JEWEL
and a piece of animal turd. Their ideas are MEANINGLESS,
illustrated using RUBBISH imagery (often made by a computer). The
stupid words they write are always in BAD FONTS. Yet still people
HEED this nonsense. Maybe YOU are one of these people? It's
alright. I am here to HELP you. I have a FULLY-COMPOSED WORLD VIEW.
I have STRONG opinions about EVERYTHING. And my ideas are
HAND-ILLUSTRATED and use REAL HANDWRITING that you can trust. I
know exactly what's going on and am WILLING to share my thoughts
with you. If you LISTEN to what I say then things will quickly
improve. No more weak messages. No more bad situations. Shall we
proceed?
By turns hilarious, satirical, and brilliant, David Shrigley's
full-page illustrations a combination of drawing, comics,
photography, and sculpture are sui generis: uproariously funny,
pleasantly unnerving, and, most of all, really, really cool.
Neither "graphic novel" nor "art book," What the Hell Are You
Doing? celebrates the surreal world of the artist who created Ants
Have Sex in Your Beer and To Make the Meringue You Must Beat the
Egg Whites Until They Look Like This the man Dave Eggers calls
"probably the funniest gallery-type artist who ever lived."
How are you feeling? Are you alright? If you could open your mind
like a handbag and show us what was inside, what would we see? A
bit of a mess? Don't worry. This is a self-help book. You'll feel
better very soon.
CLOSE YOUR EYES I invite you to imagine a plan for a new and better
society where everything is very coherent and makes a lot of sense
and nothing is confusing or awful OPEN YOUR EYES No need to
imagine. Here is the plan. The plan is illustrated. The plan is
quite complicated. But not too complicated. I think you will be
thrilled by it. I am certain you will be thrilled by it. No need to
read massive volumes or use the internet JUST READ THIS ONLY THIS
