ABOUT THE ART
A true test in skill and chance, and individually illustrated by David Shrigley, these cards are a revolt against modern deck formats with only black suits in the entire pack. Every spade, heart, diamond and club matches the colour of Shrigley's sense of humor. As labelled on the box, this set of cards is 'NOT FOR IDIOTS'.
ARTIST BIO
David Shrigley came into prominence through his drawings, publications and sculptural works. His drawings have a kind of throwaway beauty featuring monster children, idiots, aliens and bad parents.
Full of twisted lists and exchanges, Shrigley is a favorite both for his angst about modern living, his everyday disappointments and his endless cynicism.
