Another column piece from the John D’oh gallery of stencils underneath the M32. The artist has certainly made himself at home here, and I note from his Instagram account that he has been busy down there again recently.

This simple piece features a rather stereotyped curvaceous woman holding a book and tilting her glasses. The caption says ‘love is like street art, sometimes it doesn’t last long’, which I guess can be true, there is also an additional view that might take the position ‘love is like street art, sometimes it lasts forever’. Yet more to come from this rich seam of  John D’oh gold.

Zeks has been quite visible recently, which has to be good news. His unusual style is rather refreshing and very particular to the artist. This piece was painted as part of a broader paint jam a few weeks back.

The zig-zaggy letters in white and blue, decorated with simple reversed out crosses, carry a deep black and yellow drop shadow, to the left. The letters sit on a nicely buffed wall and are immediately surrounded by some pink and purple spots. The tree to the left is by Conrico – more on this in a following post.

On his most recent visit to Bristol, it would seem that Logoe had enough time to play with his letter forms and designs. The outcome was some really excellent pieces, like this one at the entrance to the tunnel.

His script letters, filled with colour-matched vertical stripes, are accompanied by a delicious pink drop shadow, bordered with a thin white line. A purple spotty background and oval spots through the letters round it off nicely. The words ‘ontological whirlwind’  have been added to it – you must make of that what you will. Very easy on the eye.

I really like Merny’s art and his naïve style combined with themes that span politics, humour, rants and tenderness. This witty piece illustrates a well known phrase ‘he’s lost his marbles’ with a bit of a twist.

I still have all my childhood marbles, but none of them are as attractive as these. Some beautiful colour combinations in these marbles, and he has captured the glass twists in the middle of some of them really well. The words ‘There they are’ tells us that he has found his marbles. Quite charming.

I am reminded of a chilling recollection. As a child, I would often see how many marbles I could fit in my mouth – what was I thinking? But then again children often don’t think.

I must have walked past this piece on numerous occasions, but because I wasn’t looking out for the letters WES, I simply overlooked it. Having now met Wes, I have become super sensitive to his letters, and I am finding them everywhere. I couldn’t see for the looking.

There are some really nice elements to this piece; two great colours, blended through the piece, some nice black lines and ‘rivets’ on the letters (a device I like a lot) and a couple of red and white decorations at the top and bottom of the writing. I don’t think it will be too long before I have enough Wes poieces to start a gallery.

This is the second piece that I found by Sumo in rather quick succession. I have been told that the artist might be one that is well known on the pages of Natural Adventures, but until I have confirmation, I’ll not mention who, if at all, because some artists value having multiple personas.

Basically, what you see is what you get with this combination piece by Sumo. A large wrestler accompanied by the letters SUMO. I particularly like the well observed Hawaiian shirt worn by the big guy. Definitely something a little different around town.

I haven’t seen anything by Kosc for ages, so I am assuming that this is quite an old piece that I haven’t seen before, because it is quite a while since I last visited St Mark’s Avenue. I have just checked his feed on Instagram, and he painted this in August 2025.

This is a masterful combination piece with a character in green alongside four large stacked letters spelling his name. It is amazing how Kosc has been able to craft such an amazing portrait using only tones of green with black, extraordinary. I sincerely hope we don’t have to wait too long to see more from this hugely talented artist.

There are two main painting areas at L Dub; the old water pumping station and the long tunnel under the motorways. This fabulous collaboration is on the former. The main collaboration sits underneath an older piece by Hire, spelling Odiah.

Andy Council, Acer One and Paul Monsters have combined to produce this incredible fusion of geometric design and freestyle objects. The colourful background pattern is by Paul Monsters, the central peace and heart symbols by Acer One and the component objects by Andy Council. This is a masterful collaboration from three of the very best.

Alongside the outstanding Stivs piece on this hoarding under the M32 (see previous post), is this wonderful Samurai warrior piece by Conrico. The artwork is so full of freedom in the style that Conrico excels at, and conjures up thoughts of spring with all that cherry blossom.

A helmeted figure is presented alongside an old cherry tree (I assume) and an outstretched arm which is tied to a bamboo stick and holding a sword. I’m not too sure what the story of this piece is, but I am sure that there is one. Just another fabulous piece from Conrico, who is on a roll at the moment.

A couple of quick ones today, as I have a busy day – happy Good Friday to you. This is one of those slightly confusing pieces where the letters presented, and the artist are not the same person. The letters say OUST, a Bristol graffiti artist but they are painted by Stivs.

In this nod to Oust, Stivs has adopted his superb calligraffiti style. Superb lettering, with a defined midline ridge, four borders in black oranges and yellow, all presented on a light blue background with decorative spots. A truly great piece of writing from a very gifted artist.
