Wall Art

The tucan has been used for decades by the Irish brewery Guinness for advertising.

I wonder who had the strange idea to use such an exotic bird conjuction with an old Irish stout beer?? But anyway it proved to be very succesful and the old and new enamel plates featuring the bird are on sale everywhere in the country. I took this picture which was painted on a wall (about 2*3 meters in dimension) somewhere in Galway.
In South America you find Ché on the walls, in Ireland a beer drinking bird...funny...
I really like the colours and the detail of the painting. It just looks so friendly, elegant and inviting.
(Well I don't have to mention that I also love their products, right?)
