Grandma's Budgie (On Gorgeous Water Colour Paper) + Free Poem

Grandma's Budgie
by Juan Sly.

Grandma had a Budgie, she kept in a cage:
It didn't live to any great age.
It would squawk and scratch and make a mess then drink from a bottle and fall from its perch, "a bit like Grandpa", she said.
One night it fell and broke its leg,
so;
Grandma kindly soothed its wounds with liquid paraffin.
And splint its bones, with a match.

She forgot about the sandpaper at the bottom of the cage.
I said it didn't live to any great age.

Urban art in your own home by cult artist Sly.

These are not prints as each is individually done and signed to order and consequently vary a little from the illustrated picture. These paintings are sprayed onto gorgeous, Indian, handmade paper sheets (100% cotton rag, 320 gsm, 56x76cm).

It is likely that Juan Sly has become the biggest seller of original artworks in the UK. An artist exhibiting in mainly spray stencils 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 now has a permanent collection in Germany, Detroit and the Uk, 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. Particularly fond of the stencil medium as it allows him to quickly respond to events and ideas and gives the work that gritty illegal look. The stencils naturally allow the works to be resprayed and so become affordable and disposable. He likes the fact that people can buy art that 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.
