Urban Pop art in your own home by cult artist Sly. 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. These are not prints, as each is individually painted and signed to order and consequently will vary slightly from the illustrated picture. These paintings are sprayed onto a handmade "Urbox,” or urban box, covered in newspaper cuttings and are handmade by people who wish to work to supplement their income. The boxes measure 59x76x4 cm, look really cool, rough with an urban feel, and are ready to hang, so there is no need to buy an expensive frame. (Also available on The Daily Telegraph, watercolour paper or plain paper at various prices if you search elsewhere.)

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 collections in Germany, Detroit and the Uk, alongside Damien Hirst and some other artists you might of 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. Spiel by Steeve
