Interview with one of my favourite artists; David Shrigley

David Shrigley has supplied drawings and directed music videos for Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy and Blur. He has also released spoken-word albums of his own. He makes scary and funny and smart drawings. The subjects of his art have included taxidermied animals and salt-and-pepper shakers. Mr. Shrigley’s work is in the collections of major museums. A lot of people have tattoos of his images. His materials have included teeth, paper, spray paint, bronze, and crushed ladders. We conducted this interview over the internet in the summer of 2011.
