Description
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?

Praised for his dark British humour and distinctive style, David Shrigley is celebrated as one of the funniest gallery artists. Critics highlight his sharp, mordant insights and the effective blend of pathos and paranoia in his work. Reviews describe the manifesto as hilarious, astute, absurd, and profound, with a unique voice that has made Shrigley immensely popular for nearly two decades.
