Cult artist David Shrigley grew up in Leicester and later moved to Glasgow, where he still lives, to study at Glasgow School of Art. Best known for his primitive, unnerving cartoons, but also an accomplished sculptor, his fame has grown and grown since his first solo exhibition at Glasgow's Transmission Gallery in 1995. Now 39, he's had solo exhibitions across Europe and the United States, has published dozens of books, and continutes to draw a weekly cartoon for the Saturday Guardian. He's also produced videos for Blur's “Good Song” and Bonnie Prince Billy's “Agnes Queen of Sorrow”, designed twelve different covers for Deerhoof's LP Friend Opportunity, and released a spoken-word CD called Shrigley Forced To Speak With Others, about which he recently told Dazed, “People are quite surprised it's not crap.” As if all that weren't enough, this month comes Worried Noodles, a 39-track, 2CD compilation based on Shrigley's 2006 book of the same name, with contributions from musicians like David Byrne, Franz Ferdinand, Liars, TV On The Radio, Final Fantasy and Hot Chip, all of whom have adapted Shrigley's scrawls into songs.
