David Shrigley, ‘Swan’ (2000)
“One day (maybe it was the early Nineties) when my life was a little less full than it is now, I spent an afternoon being stoned with a friend. We ended up in a bar and we started drawing animals without heads. The animals we drew had not been decapitated; they had been born without heads and had lived like that. Over the years there have been quite a few headless creatures in my work. Perhaps my interest in them was started on that day.” – David Shrigley

William Anastasi, ‘Subway Drawing (V. Dwan)’ (1968)
Riding the subway with a piece of paper lying in his lap, Anastasi would hold a pencil lightly, allowing the vibrations of the train to move it across the paper. He would often sign the image with the name of the person he was travelling to see.
