The return of Asre at the back end of last year has been most welcome, and his tidy writing has been featured several times on this blog. This comic-style lettering behind the railings on the swimming pool wall is an absolute gem.

What I am enjoying about Asre’s work is the precision and attention to finishing. All the fills are strong and solid, the shadows and borders cleanly presented – even the blue splash is carefully worked. Asre strikes me as being an artist who takes pride in the appearance of his work, as much as he seems to enjoy creating it. I love the subtle yellow fill spots in his letters.

Bags really doesn’t get enough attention in Natural Adventures, and I think I have many of his pieces lurking in my archives. I have tried to present more of his pieces lately, and this is a rather nice recent one on the roundabout.

I am not a fan of brown, but there is enough red and black to offset this colour preference (or lack of it) that I have. The letter shapes are easy on the eye, and the white drop shadow and grey cloudy background with spots round the whole piece off nicely. Great stuff from the No Frills crew member.

I can’t recall ever seeing anything by Sumo before, but since I found this piece, I have come across two more in different Bristol spots. If Sumo is new to Bristol, then I am very excited about it, because if this is anything to go by, we are going to be in for a bit of a treat.

It looks like Sumo’s work is rather self-explanatory. The combination piece has a rather large Sumo Wrestler character alongside some rather smaller letters in a simple clean font saying SUMO. The piece is arresting and very different, and a fine addition to the enormous variety of styles we see in Bristol. Watch this space for more soon.

Kofup, Greenbank, Bristol, March 2026

Pretty much daily, I come across pieces by artists I don’t recognise and assume that they must be visiting. Occasionally I get this wrong, for some reason, and the artist is local, but I simply haven’t seen their work before or can’t recollect it. I think that Kofup is in the former category and might be from London.

I was very taken by this piece, as it is easy on the eye and nicely finished. I like the letters, especially the rather unusual wavy fill patterns. Lots of reversed drips at the top of the letters also add character. The letters are nicely presented on a black-buffed background with a blue and green ‘cloud’. Nice work.

On 19 March 2026, King Charles III announced the declaration of the Seven Sisters National Nature Reserve (13th of 25 in the King’s Series of NNRs) and launch of the King Charles III England Coast Path, a significant event for nature, access and communities across England. You might have seen coverage of the event on the BBC or other news outlets.

He’s back! Maybe is painting again after a long pause, with this wonderful interlocking face piece, so distinctive and beautifully presented in his unique styling. I know that this isn’t a one-off and will be searching for more when I return to Bristol later this afternoon.

Maybe uses a combination of techniques to achieve his touching and imaginative pieces, and the end result is always something to examine and ponder on. Some nice shading adds to separating these two faces, augmenting the strong black outline. It is so good to see him back decorating our walls and columns once again.

Logoe, M32 roundabout, Bristol, March 2026

Logoe has been back in Bristol for a visit, and is usually the case when he comes, he has gifted us several new pieces dotted about the place. You can be reasonably certain that when you find one Logoe piece, you will find more.

This is a rather lovely example of his script writing and typical of many of his pieces. His letters are filled with ling blue vertical stripes, and are given some depth with a shallow black drop shadow. The letters are set on a decorative orange background and festooned with Logoe’s trademark oval spots. Welcome back.

The nicest street art dog walk that I do fairly regularly is the circuit up to the Narroways nature reserve which loops back down the hill and through St Werburghs Tunnel. The dog particularly likes this walk too. I get to combine three loves – my dog, nature and street art, all in the space of 45 minutes.

I was pleasantly surprised to find this unlikely piece by 3Dom on a wall just up the hill from the climbing centre. This wall has hosted a lot of terrible throw ups and tags, but 3Dom has done it proud. I love his organic designs like this one that have a familiar and yet other-worldly look to them. A nice treat for the owners of the house whose garden wall this is. 3Dom really is awesome.

In a world filled with terrifying and depressing headlines, it is refreshing to be able to enjoy a moment of lighthearted humour, and this lovely column piece by John D’oh under the M32 is just what the doctor ordered.

How often have we heard that ‘love is just around the corner’? Well, John D’oh takes the saying literally with this two-part stencil. A simple and clever piece that would bring a smile to even the most cold-hearted viewer. Just another piece in a superb ‘gallery’ of John D’oh’s work under the M32 adjacent to Eastville Park.
