I just don't reckon it'll stand up too well to a Maryhill Monsoon, which occur up there about once a fortnight...

The bloke is a genius. His show at the Hayward Gallery Spring 2012 was probably the best I've been to.

To be fair to Shrigley he's a long-standing Partick fan, and he's used his newly acquired fame to attract new investment to the club.

Christ only knows what he will be doing with the shirt design and the other aspects of the club he's going to be involved in branding.

End of the day he's an artist people either love or loathe. I took my mother who has a Maters Degree in Art History to the Hayward exhibition and she didn't get it at all, I took my kids and they loved it. Like I say, I think he's a genius, and I also think he's gonna get people talking about the club. I can also see why people think he's fucking nuts.

Have you shared his drawings on Facebook before? I'm sure you have n I've always liked his style n thought they were funny.

Does he do any exhibits up here? I've followed him on Twitter to keep my eyes open for owt.

He seems over the moon with all the exposure it's got.

First time I read that I saw "Marilyn Manson". Now that would have been a good mascot.

WTF
