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 . . .
