With NHS (National Health Service) cuts across the country and the private sector being allowed to undercut the NHS services, his mural sleeping baby, now shows the Hospital as a vulnerable baby. The sleeping baby artwork shows vulnerability, and Stik relates this to the National Health Service at the moment.
“We have been left holding the baby and we are going to protect it” Stik
The prints go under the hammer on 19th May 2016 at Christies Prints and Multiples. This is a unique opportunity to own a piece of social history in the making whilst supporting our NHS. Find the link here.

A massive shout out to STIK who once again uses his art as a gain for others in need. We love this guy.
