A fresh crop of pieces appeared in the tunnel a week or two back, and this excellent writing from RBN One was among them. The letters are a deviation from his usual ARBIEN.
The piece is painted in a sumptuous combination of reds and blues, beautifully blended. The letters appear to spell BRIAN, although i don’t know the significance of this. Not only is the wall beautifully buffed, but the letters are sitting nicely on a lilac stamp, adding an interesting dynamic. Fabulous piece from RBN One.
My mini fishing holiday comes to an end, and we head home this morning, so I’ll be keeping this short. What a fabulous piece by Mesk on the swimming pool wall by Mesk.
The yellow letters spelling MOIKY, I think, have a beautifully deep drop shadow in blue shades, helping this vibrant piece to pop from the wall. A white border separates the writing from the graffitied wall, giving some definition. A fun piece from Mesk.
An interesting and rather curious portrait piece by Minto peers out from the tunnel wall at passers by. The portrait is composed of an obvious outline and conventional eyes, while the rest of the piece is filled with fragments of shapes and colour to complete the whole.
The cartoon face a find a little unsettling, but it is a skilfully crafted piece and very much presented in Minto’s rather crowded style. Lots of ‘white space’ and busy bits. Great work from the graffiti writer.
Well, this is something a little different from Dirtygypo. I can’t think of a piece by the artist that has strayed from his typical presentation, but this piece, although instantly recognisable as the work of Dirtygypo is surprisingly different.
I love it when artists deviate from their standard and experiment. The letters are much more uniform in height and rather “blocky”. I think they spell out QUICHO. There are some interesting fill colours which have hard interfaces between them, rather than blended and the whole thing is set within an interesting frame. A look at his gallery will show how different this piece is.
A quick glance back at my archive revealed this Tera piece from back in July this year. I have now idea how this one missed the first cut, but I will make up for it here.
This is another demonic combination piece by the Tattoo artist!with the evil character sandwiched between the words ‘Tera’ and ‘Graff’. The whole scene is a perfect representation of a demonic horror apocalypse with a background of bare trees and a murder of crows.
The demon is a little lost in the whole thing, so here is a close up. Great work from Tera.

Another fine piece from the Tickz tribute hoarding and another fine piece by Soker, one of Bristol’s legendary graffiti writers. The writing here, spelling Tickz, is both outstanding and fitting.
Unfortunately, the colours are not well represented here, as the sun was directly behind the hoarding and has washed out much of the colour and tone. It is still possible to see the fine craft of the work though. Great work.
Ha ha, this one from Zake really tickled me. It was painted alongside a piece by Hire, and there was a bit of an aquatic and fish theme going on. This ‘monster from the deep’ is straight out of the bizarre horror genre of monster movies.
The half-human half-fish character is striding towards Hire’s graffiti writing with a little, maybe misunderstood, heart emanating from its mouth. A nice aquatic background scene and some fish round off the story well. Super stuff, and most appropriate while I am enjoying my annual fishing holiday.
More quick ones today, there is fishing to be done. This is another piece by Gent48 in Birmingham. It is quite an old portrait piece, but the artist is clearly respected, because the piece is still here and untagged.
The cartoon-style character is painted with a sepia tint, making it look like an old photograph. I’m not too sure what the back story is, but it is a nice piece.
