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.
Kosc, St Marks Avenue, Bristol, March 2026
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.
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.
Acer One, Andy Council, Paul Monsters, Hire, L Dub, Bristol, March 2026
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.
Alongside the outstanding Stivs piece on this hoarding under the M32 (see previous post), is this wonderful Samurai warrior piece by Conrico. The artwork is so full of freedom in the style that Conrico excels at, and conjures up thoughts of spring with all that cherry blossom.
Conrico, M32 Spot, Bristol, March 2026
A helmeted figure is presented alongside an old cherry tree (I assume) and an outstretched arm which is tied to a bamboo stick and holding a sword. I’m not too sure what the story of this piece is, but I am sure that there is one. Just another fabulous piece from Conrico, who is on a roll at the moment.
A couple of quick ones today, as I have a busy day – happy Good Friday to you. This is one of those slightly confusing pieces where the letters presented, and the artist are not the same person. The letters say OUST, a Bristol graffiti artist but they are painted by Stivs.
Stivs, M32 Spot, Bristol, March 2026
In this nod to Oust, Stivs has adopted his superb calligraffiti style. Superb lettering, with a defined midline ridge, four borders in black oranges and yellow, all presented on a light blue background with decorative spots. A truly great piece of writing from a very gifted artist.
Because I observe and write about street art in Bristol on a near-daily basis, I become familiar with some of the little markers and themes laid down by artists either in the content of their work or in their style. In my rambled writings I try to point out some of these details that casual onlookers might miss. I guess that is part of what this blog is all about.
Kid Crayon, M32 roundabout, Bristol, March 2026
Kid Crayon is a favourite of mine and an artist I have been writing about for more than ten years. This is a wonderful, colourful combination piece, where the letters, in a range of colours, spell out CRAYON, where the ‘O’ is a character face with a party hat. Kid Crayon is very fond of party hats, which make an appearance from time to time in his work – this one has additional relevance as this was a birthday celebration paint jam. Great to see that the character has a crayon floating in front of his mouth, a signature emblem of KC’s work.
I have been aware of this lovely column piece by Peggy for some time, but simply haven’t been able to stop in the right place to be able to photograph it. I managed to do so on an extended walk a week or two back when I had a day off from work.
Peggy, Cumberland Basin, Bristol, March 2026
This superb floral design stands out brilliantly on the turquoise column, and is most striking. Peggy, who is a tattooist by profession, creates these pieces that are really quite unlike any other artwork we see in Bristol. Each one is quite different from the last, but stylistically consistent. It is good to see her work, especially as she doesn’t paint all that often.
Of course, I completely forgot that last week was a break from Thursday Doors, so it might come as surprise that this week is part two doors from a trip I made to Liverpool a year ago. My daughter and I went there to accompany and support my wife who was running in the Liverpool half-marathon. Between the start and finish of the race, we were kicking our heels a little and I took the chance to photograph some doors and some street art too.
This is quite an eclectic mix of doors, without any particular theme or style, that will conclude this short stay in the home of the fab four. I hope you enjoy the doors:

So that is it for this week, and from this whirlwind trip to Liverpool – next time I’ll be sharing doors from another time and another place. Have a fabulous Easter weekend.
If you have made it this far, you probably like doors, and you really ought to take a look at the No Facilities blog by Dan Anton who has taken over the hosting of Thursday Doors from Norm 2.0 blog. Links to more doorscursions can be found in the comments section of Dan Anton’s weekly Thursday Doors post and his Sunday recap.
This is a beauty by DJ Perks that I photographed on a recent visit to the tunnel at L Dub. It has the tried and tested colour combination of light blue and pink that is favoured by so many graffiti writers (not to self – prepare a pink and blue special post).
DJ Perks, L Dub, Bristol, March 2026
Although this piece was painted in 2025, it still looks as fresh as a daisy, all very clean and neat. The letter forms in places remind me a little of Inkie’s work, although the edges and shapes here are a little softer. There is a simplicity of the fills and subtlety of the decorations that contributes to the integrity of the whole. Really nice work from DJ Perks.
Another fine stencil from the ever-expanding gallery of work by John D’oh under the M32. This little spot is a haven of wit, pathos, observation and political commentary captured within the artist’s simple and authentic style.
In this piece John D’oh highlights the pleasure and mental health benefits derived by artists from painting on the streets (a very real thing), while commenting on the futility of Bristol City Council putting those serving community service to work on buffing the walls of popular graffiti spots. A great observation of his own craft and responses to it.
