In the latest billboard project at the High Line park in New York, British artist David Shrigley gets at how many of us feel, most of the time, and acts as though it's something we can share with others. Shrigley always walks a fine line between the smart and the twee, but stays on the right side when he goes grim. I've been going by this billboard almost daily for the best part of a month, and it still makes me laugh, and groan. Too bad there's no Prozac cart on the High Line.
