7501. St Werburghs tunnel (575)

Stivs, St Werburghs, Bristol, February 2026
Stivs, St Werburghs, Bristol, February 2026

The letters DSC give away the fact that this epic chrome monster is by Stivs. I guess, from time to time, if you are going to go big, you might as well do it loud and proud. To give you some sense of scale, these letters are probably about 11 or 12 feet tall – that is a lot of chrome paint!

I apologise for the poor photography – my iPhone doesn’t seem to like this section of tunnel and often turns out blurry images (note to self – sort it out). Stiv’s enormous letters are written in a calligraffiti style, but being so large are a little less sophisticated than some of his normal-sized pieces. A big bit of fun in the tunnel.

7500. M32 roundabout J3 (746)

Turoe, M32 roundabout, Bristol, February 2026

This outstanding piece was painted by Turoe, who credited the outline to Muster One. Painted alongside four other artists, the paint jam has turned out to be something of a masterclass of graffiti writing, and this is the second piece I have posted from the session, the first being by Hemper.

Turoe belongs to a small group of graffiti writers who have been smashing it for years (decades) on the streets of Bristol and has earned his place in the scene’s folklore. The seamless transition of colours from light green at the top to dark green at the bottom is flawless. Lots of arrows and overlapping elements from letter to letter showcase this lovely bit of wildstyle writing. Bravo!

What a superb piece from Werm in the Deaner. The symmetry created from the letters WERM is excellent, and something Werm plays with a lot in his work. This might be the tightest one yet. The brownish fill is in two tones and is best described as a chocolate mousse look – regulars will know that I am not fond of brown, but I’ll let it go in this instance.

The deep drop shadow veering to the left provides depth and the light blue background plenty of contrast, bit devices lifting the letters nicely. The red border creates a nice boundary between the letters and background, and I like the ‘cloud’ detail in the blue background. This is an interesting piece that deserves a while to enjoy it.

Creamylines is having something of a purple patch both in terms of quality and quantity of his pieces. This is one of two that I found up at Purdown on a recent dog walk, and I can’t tell you how pleased I was to see them.

There is an unbridled sense of optimism in Creamylines’ work that taps into the essentials of our existence – sunshine, landscapes, nature and people, stripping things back to core values and experiences as humans. This gorgeous piece is less busy than some of his works, allowing our eyes time to alight on some of the details. I love the watercourse at the bottom of the piece, and some of the faces peering in. Thank you Creamylines for making the world a brighter place.

This Surbiton Station wall was a lucky spot to find and has kept my posts ticking over during a rather lean spell on the streets of Bristol. This particular piece is a rather old, but nonetheless stunning combination piece by SkyHigh.

His letters, painted with the characteristic multi style blocks, are broken up with a superb parrot, confirming that SkyHigh is equally happy painting letters and wildlife portraits. A quick look at his gallery will show you that he paints these combinations quite regularly.

The blue and gold macaw is absolutely amazing, and I am in awe of SkyHigh’s skill with his spray cans to be able to create something so beautiful and so accurate. It is about time that he and Roo paid another visit to Bristol.

Hemper, M32 roundabout, Bristol, February 2026

I am off to another football match in London to watch Arsenal play Chelsea. Full of nerves that other fans might appreciate, and non fans might find puzzling. The long and short of it is that I have to get a move on. This is a wonderful piece by Hemper, painted as part of a paint jam at the roundabout a couple of weeks ago.

Hemper has had a quiet winter, following on from a superbly productive and positive 2025. His talent is there for all to see, and he has smashed it with this metallic-look writing. The letters spell HEMS and the combination of blues, greys and whites create the illusion of shining metal – such clever deception. I particularly like the crazy orange drop shadow, that appears to break the rules and gets away with it. Wonderful work.
