Mr.Sly is a British Artist known for his mixed media collages and his contemporary interpretation of 20th Century pop culture, combined with bold and graphic images are his unique trademark. Having experience in photo restoring and graphic design, he blends these talents in his artwork. Producing limited edition prints and originals his work can be found in galleries across the U.K and U.S.A. His art can also be seen on the streets, paste ups of his images are now part of the street art scene in many cities. Born in Liverpool, England, he has travelled widely, which has informed his appreciation of urban and street art across the world. His first foray into the art world was inspired by 1980's band Frankie Goes to Hollywood and their iconic t-shirts from their hit song RELAX. This spurred him to create artwork, which is now gaining collectors across the globe. His work is now featured in Chelsea Football Clubs health spa, L’Oreal and RedKen.
