Every once in a while a top-end collaborative piece appears, and when it does, it simply needs to be admired for its craftsmanship. This is a wicked three-piece collaboration from three established and gifted artists, 3Dom, Dibz and Cheo.

I don’t know if there is an overall theme here, but on the left is an anti-war piece by 3Dom featuring a warring world going up in flames, and a frog-type character seemingly in despair. The gold and blue writing from Dibz is a classic piece of wildstyle writing, delivered with total competence and control. Finally, the TV head character on the right by Cheo has overtones of Evil Edna, a character from a children’s cartoon series called Willow the Wisp. The whole thing is both brilliant and unsettling. Bravo!

I think I have said it before that one of the great joys of patrolling the streets in the search of street art is that there are so many unexpected surprises, and each one fills me with a warm feeling inside. This newt/amphibian piece by Silent Hobo at the entrance to St Werburghs tunnel is one such surprise.

I’ve not seen a piece like this by Silent Hobo before, but it is unmistakably his work. The amphibian has some human qualities, for example it is standing upright and has human arms, but the head feet and tail are truly newt-like. It would be interesting to know what the story here is, but I think it was simply something that had been on Silent Hobo’s mind for a little while.

Sumo, M32 roundabout, Bristol, March 2026

I have posted two recent pieces by Sumo, both were combination works in which a Sumo wrestler featured prominently. This time the artist has gone with letters only, and what beautifully presented letters they are.

Sumo, M32 roundabout, Bristol, March 2026

Spelling SUMO (unsurprisingly), the letters are woven together in an interesting way in both the design and the fill patterning. A very shadowy drop shadow lifts the piece nicely from the blue buffed background. I haven’t seen any more pieces from Sumo since this one, but live in hope and anticipation for more.

Creamylines, M32 roundabout J2, Bristol, March 2026

Not too long ago, Creamylines got busy painting birds on columns under the M32. I don’t quite know if this was a practice session or a takeover bit. Whatever the motivation, he has occupied about a dozen or more columns with his long-necked bird portraits.

Of course, I could have photographed every column, and filled this post with birds, but instead have chosen one or two as I think you get the idea. I am really enjoying watching on as Creamylines expands his portfolio and his presence in Bristol.

Today is not a good day from me to write a blog post – I am wrestling with some restructuring at work, and will be up against a dear team colleague, and maybe others, for the only post at my grade that will remain – down from three. Plenty of disruption and upset between now and September when the structure goes live.

This is a beauty from Neddy Ned Ned on the water pumping station at L Dub. Spelling WISKA, the dazzling piece in the bright sunshine is beautifully presented in every aspect. The yellows, pinks and blue background work remarkably well together. Great work from Neddy Ned Ned.

Wes, Dean Lane, Bristol, April 2026

Of course, having only first met Wes a month or two back, I haven’t quite worked since been finding his pieces everywhere, both old and new. This one is tucked away on the swimming pool wall behind a hedge and railing.

Wes, Dean Lane, Bristol, April 2026

This is a very bold piece heavily filled with black paint and incorporating flashes of red and yellow. It is quite unusual to see work quite so heavily dominated with black paint, but Wes gets away with it here by including a white drop shadow and contrasting blue/turquoise backdrop. Interesting piece from Wes.

This is a wonderful, colourful, up beat splash of a piece by Kool Hand, painted as part of a paint jam, I think for Kid Crayon’s birthday, but am not certain.

Kool Hand has been enjoying his writing lately, and he is improving with every new piece. The colour combinations and curvy font make this piece very easy on the eye. Time, I think, to update his impressive gallery of work (just done it).

Maybe, Brunel Way, Bristol, April 2026

Back in his favourite spot, Maybe has started painting his unique dreamy pieces once again after a lengthy break. I haven’t quite worked out his technique in full yet, but he makes good use of stencils to pick out some clear distinctions between different elements of his pieces.

Maybe, Brunel Way, Bristol, April 2026

This one features one of his favoured motifs, that of a silhouette face with pursed lips. He has selected some lovely colours, and blended the colour transitions really well. It is so good to see him out and about painting again.
