7573. Henrietta Street

Esme Lower, Henrietta Street, Bristol, March 2026

I love the crossover that one gets to see between the professional muralist/artist that gets paid for commissions, and the same artist painting the streets for pleasure. Esme Lower is one of those artists who seems to span these worlds with ease, and this 9is one of her commissions in the heart of Easton.

This mural is at the entrance of the Bristol Sweet Mart, the largest supplier of ethnic foods in the southwest of England. Esme Lower’s piece features some of the herbs and spices that the outlet is well-known for, and somehow captures the south Asian vibe really well. It was an unexpected pleasure coming across this piece on a recent stroll in Easton.

7572. Cumberland Basin

Werm, Cumberland Basin, Bristol, March 2026

It feels like Werm has stepped up a level recently. His work has always been technically sound, and he has always been up for adjusting his style from time to time, but there is something about his presentation and confidence that has gone up a level.

This is a super piece, which looks on the surface to be a ‘simple’ piece, probably because of it’s clean and tidy appearance. It takes a huge amount of talent and experience to create a piece like this. The symmetry of the letters is very well worked, and the seamless wavy pattern of fills, appears effortless, but is really tricky. There is a nice stripy drop shadow, and a touch of green decoration around the outside. The piece looks extra excellent because it is painted on a cleanly buffed wall. Really great stuff here from Werm.

7571. M32 roundabout J2 (16)

John D'oh, M32 roundabout J2, Bristol, March 2026 — John D’oh, M32 roundabout J2, Bristol, March 2026

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.

7570. M32 roundabout J3 (758)

Zeks, M32 roundabout, Bristol, March 2026

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.

7569. St Werburghs tunnel (576)

Logoe, St Werburghs, Bristol, March 2026

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.

7568. M32 roundabout J3 (757)

Merny, M32 roundabout, Bristol, March 2026

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.

7567. Cumberland Basin

Wes, Cumberland Basin, Bristol, March 2026

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.

7566. L Dub (84)

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.

7565. St Mark’s Avenue (14)

Kosc, St Marks Avenue, Bristol, March 2026

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.

7564. L Dub (83)

Acer One, Andy Council, Paul Monsters, Hire, L Dub, Bristol, March 2026

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.
