7583. St Werburghs tunnel (577)

Mr Klue, St Werburghs, Bristol, March 2026

Mr Klue has returned and taken up one of his favourite spots at the entrance to St Werburghs tunnel. To me, this one looks a little different from many of his recent pieces. The letters KLUE look much more chunky and slightly compressed.

The familiar scrolls are larger than usual and feature strongly in this piece of abstract writing. Towards the top of the piece it looks like there are vapours rising skywards. Some tiny bursts of orange hint at something going on in the piece, almost as if it is about to burst into flames. Nice work from Mr Klue, king of the tunnel.

7582. M32 roundabout J3 (761)

Billy, M32 roundabout, Bristol, March 2026

One of the great pleasures of doing what I do is enjoying the vast spectrum of different styles and approaches to street/graffiti art that it is possible to see in Bristol. Billy is the creator of wonderful bright child-like illustrations that are so welcoming and upbeat.

In this political commentary piece, a dog is holding a peace symbol in its paws and a flower in its mouth, while a war scene unfolds in the background. A very sad reflection of the state of the world at the moment. The words ‘old dog, new tricks’ suggests to me that you can’t teach an old dog (Trump/USA/Israel/Iran) new tricks (peace, negotiation, compromise).

7581. Cumberland Basin

Noise, Cumberland Basin, Bristol, March 2026

I hadn’t seen much activity from Noise over the winter months, so much so that I wondered whether he might have moved away. I needn’t have worried as he is now painting regularly again, and with some outstanding results.

I love the colour combination of this piece of graffiti writing on the long wall at Cumberland Basin. Light blues and pinks always work so well together. His letters are a little less chunky than usual, leaving room for a strong drop shadow in a slightly contrasting blue. Set on a black wall, the piece stands out nicely. He finishes with some words “time for action” which could mean any number of things, but Noise knows what.

7580. Mina Road (16)

Nice One, Mina Road, Bristol, March 2026

When I drove past this piece for the first time, I performed a monumental double-take. One of those ones when you lose control of your driving for a split second, before pulling yourself together. Such is the power and allure of Nice One’s landscapes.

Nice One has successfully brought edgy fine art to our streets. He isn’t an artist who falls for the trappings of high-end commissions, but expresses himself freely and without conditions. There are so many influences that I can see in this dreamy landscape such as Cezanne. The piece is beautifully balanced with wildflowers in the foreground on the left, and a village clinging to the hillside on the right, with a river valley running through the middle. The piece is given additional drama with a lively sky overhead. A truly excellent piece by Nice One. Bravo!

7579. L Dub (86)

It would appear that Hire prefers writing the letters ODIAH to HIRE these days and he has also changed his Instagram handle, perhaps reflecting a transition of his persona. This is a beauty painted at L Dub, in the open section of the long tunnel

The letters are very nicely constructed and filled with minimal green and black colours that contrast with the lower drop shadow. The curiosity of this piece, quite literally, is the addition of dozens of question marks scattered around the black background. It is always a pleasure finding Hire’s work.

7578. M32 roundabout J3 (760)

Conrico, M32 roundabout, Bristol, March 2026

I have already said several times this year that Conrico is on fire, and with this piece he continues to confirm my assertion. I believe that this gorgeous landscape piece was painted as part of a collaboration paint jam to celebrate Kid Crayon’s birthday.

There is a calmness about this view, and a sense of early spring created by the presence of meadow flowers and tree blossom, most likely reflecting a Japanese landscape, with a small hut or temple in the foreground. The brush-stroke quality of the piece which has a little bit of Monet about it. Superb work from Conrico.

7577. M32 Spot (220)

Stivs is an incredibly talented artist who is as comfortable painting his character pieces as he is with his calligraffiti. His has been producing pieces at a steady pace over the past few months, but I haven’t bumped into him for a long while… maybe our clocks are on a different plane.

Tucked away in a corner of the DIY skate park underneath the M32, this piece is a classic bit of Stivs Calligraffiti writing. The letters are beautifully presented with a perfect midline providing depth to the letters. There are four shades of pink in the letters for the top, bottom, left and right elevations, which leaves us with a 3D effect, as if the letters are standing out from the hoarding. Skilful work.
