What a lovely tidy and fresh-looking piece this is from Kool Hand. I was lucky enough to catch up with the artist himself as he was painting this one, and, like nearly all the artists I meet on the streets, he is a really nice and engaging bloke… why wouldn’t he be?

I think it is the freshness of this piece that makes it so easy on the eye. Everything feels solid and strong, and even the white highlights that help the piece to pop, are bold and unambiguous. A piece like this works so very well on a buffed wall, and could look quite compromised if it had been painted directly over existing busy graffiti.
My infrequent trips to L Dub are usually a real treat, because there is always something new to enjoy and even better, I can be pretty much guaranteed to find something by local graffiti artist Dun Sum. This wonderful, piece was new to me on my last visit a couple of weeks back.

Dun Sum’s fantasy animals are rooted in something familiar, but end up being otherworldly. This character appears to be a creative conflation of a snake and some kind of dragon lizard. I rather like the apparently random addition of a paddle, although there may be some story attached to that. As ever, superbly imaginative work from Dun Sum.
When it comes to commissions, there are probably two kinds of artist; those whose living is based on their artwork, and for whom commissions are factored into their income, and those who happen upon commissions that supplement their income, but whose primary income lies elsewhere. I think that Tanith Gould sits in the first category.

I lover her work, and this outstanding golden lion on the wall of The Journey Tibet to India restaurant in Easton is wonderful. Small businesses like this are enlightened when they commission such works, because they help stamp an identity and recognisable landmark for the establishment. Once they have paid for the original commission, it works hard for them every single day, giving them a solid return on the investment. I have not yet been to the restaurant, but having seen this beautifully painted lion, I am left curious and interested in going. Great work from Tanith Gould.

It would seem that every time I feature a piece by Zed in the Clouds, I find myself repeating that he is somewhat underrepresented on the pages of Natural Adventures.

This one was perhaps just too ‘noisy’ I had to include it. The chrome combination piece with a character on the left, and the letters ZED, contrast perfectly with the orange and red ‘flame’ background, which looking at it might have been from a former occupant of this wall. I think that the Zed in the Clouds piece is bounded by the blue outline, and includes the hand on the right.
When Logoe comes to town, you can be sure that you will find more than one piece of graffiti writing from him, often three or four and sometimes more. It is as if his idea of a weekend break in Bristol is to hit as many walls as possible.
Logoe, Greenbank, Bristol, March 2026
This is a lovely piece on the hoarding at Greenbank with chrome letters and a very nice colour palette to boot. The script letters are set on a lilac background and decorated with dozens of little pink ovals. A classic piece of Logoe writing.
This is another wonderful stencil piece by John D’oh, underneath the M32 in what he has made into a bit of a personal gallery. This simple, playful piece is packed with humour and wordplay.

A gorilla is featured alongside a banana which has a bit of tape over it, to give the illusion that a real banana is attached to the column.The words ‘guerilla street art is better than a grey wall’ mess with the homonym ‘guerilla and gorilla’. Fun stuff nicely executed.
This charming piece by Conrico is dated 2025, which gives you some indication of how infrequently I visit this spot. Given its age, it has lasted pretty well and hasn’t been tagged at all, the main tell-tale sign of age is the rain-splattered dust kicked up along the bottom margin of the piece.
Conrico, St Mark’s Avenue, Bristol, March 2026
A delightful and optimistic cat is featured, peering over the edge of a table on which sits some Japanese sushi, a culinary theme that Conrico has used before. For anyone who has owned cats, this is a familiar scene, especially the extended claws making ready for a smash and grab manoeuvre. Superb story-telling from Conrico.
Well, well, well, how wonderful to find this bird character portrait on a back wall of the DIY skate park under the M32. And even more exciting is that is it painted by Creamylines, showing that he isn’t a one-trick-pony at all and enabling him to branch out into a whole new world of adventure.
Creamylines, M32 Spot, Bristol, March 2026
The bird, with its long neck and big eyes lends itself to countless opportunities for expressions and variations. Although this wasn’t the first of these birds that I found, it was the first I could nail down as being by Creamylines. Watch this space from more of these charming characters.
