Original artwork description:

Cheap digital watch by Texas Instruments. + FREE digital watch! (On chunky canvas.).

Digital watches were new and expensive in 1976 so Texas Instruments made one for less than $10. A design classic too. Each painting of it comes with a free digital watch; but not the one in the painting, alas.

Urban Pop art in your own home by cult artist Sly.

These are not prints as each is individually done and signed to order and consequently will vary slightly from the illustrated picture. These paintings are sprayed onto canvas 610x760x20 mm and are ready to hang.

(Also available on The Daily Telegraph, an Urbox, watercolour paper or plain paper at various prices if you search elsewhere.)

Juan Sly is likely the biggest seller of original artwork in the UK. An artist exhibiting in spray stencils, newspaper and oils, he has exhibited at the Saatchi (a proper gallery with pillars and everything!) alongside the likes of Banksy, Terry O'Neil, Tracy Emin and Vic Reeves, and has permanent collections in Ireland, Detroit and England, alongside Damien Hirst and some other artists you might have heard of, plus private collections around the globe. His works rock from humour to anti-war, sex to surreal. He is particularly fond of the stencil medium as it allows him to respond quickly to events and ideas and gives his works a gritty, illegal look. The stencils naturally allow the works to be resprayed, and consequently become affordable and disposable. He likes the fact that people can buy art which they like, and not to show off how much they can afford. You can find them in bedsits, legal offices in the Temple or stuck to a fence in Bristol.
