Artist David Shrigley unveils eight special [limited edition art prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limitededition-print-series) both online and at his Copenhagen brick and motor Shrig Shop. Every print spotlights a [whimsical drawing of characters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keff-joons) that perfectly capture the dry British humor of the artist.

When reflecting upon his own work, Shrigley has spoken about his humor transpired through [his use of color](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edition-two) in a previous interview. He states that when he creates a drawing, he's “looking for it to be something different, to say something interesting, something that perhaps I’ve never said before, something that I don’t fully understand. So it’s a bit like a proposition to myself really.” Every single print is limited to 250 iterations - all are set to release on April 9th.
