i’m so excited (2022) is a limited edition screenprint by david shrigley featuring one of the artist’s characteristically expressive dogs alongside the simple declaration “i’m so excited”. printed in 17 colours with a varnish overlay, the work captures a very specific kind of shrigley energy — enthusiastic, slightly chaotic and impossible not to like.
what i enjoy is how much emotion shrigley creates with so few lines. the dog looks as though it can barely contain itself, while the oversized text amplifies that feeling even further. the simplicity of the drawing is what makes it so effective: there’s no unnecessary detail, just enough to communicate the character’s complete sense of excitement.
for me, the humour comes from the complete lack of restraint. the work commits fully to its excitement, which makes it feel genuinely joyful rather than ironic. shrigley’s ability to turn such a simple observation into something immediately recognisable and funny is a big part of what makes his animal drawings so appealing.
it’s one of those david shrigley prints that tends to lift the mood of a room the moment you notice it. the combination of the expressive dog, oversized lettering and strong graphic composition gives it an immediate presence, while the underlying simplicity keeps it unmistakably shrigley.
i’m so excited is a particularly good example of shrigley’s animal-text works, where a simple character and a few words are enough to create a surprisingly strong emotional response. it’s playful, direct and full of the kind of uncomplicated optimism that makes his best work so accessible.
david shrigley has developed one of the most distinctive visual languages in contemporary british art, combining loose drawing, deadpan humour and observations of everyday life. his work has attracted an international audience across contemporary art, design and popular culture, while his limited edition prints form an important part of his wider practice.
