Logoe has been back in town recently and produced a couple of outstanding pieces. Nobody does script graffiti writing quite as well as Logoe does and this piece on the roundabout is a beauty.
Logoe, M32 roundabout, Bristol, October 2026
The main fill of the lettering is a gorgeous metallic copper which sits alongside a deep red drop shadow, which sets the whole piece off in the right direction. There is a rhythm and flow to the piece which is so easy on the eye. The scattering of spots adds life and interest. A supreme example of logoe’s work.
Eight thousand street art and graffiti posts, and still going strong. This was never planned, I just kind of fell into it. I haven’t lost my appetite for documenting the amazing street art culture in Bristol, and only occasionally don’t feel like writing a blog post – most of the time it is and has been a great pleasure and privilege. It seems appropriate that Fade, one of the Natural Adventures regulars, should feature today.
Fade, Cumberland Basin, Bristol, October 2026
This is a super-tidy piece by Fade, his letters designed and filled to perfection, with a great pink drop shadow and yellow border. The purple and pink background has a bit of a lava lamp look to it – something quite retro. A fine piece painted alongside Peggy and Jody.
There is an awful lot to admire in this paint jam piece by Vikoi, which depicts a couple of robots getting to grips with the concept of giving and receiving flowers. It is na comical piece and importantly features a four leaf clover – buying into the luck theme.
Vikoi, Lucky Lane, Bristol, October 2026
I have seen a couple of pieces in Dean Lane by Vikoi and really need to dig them out and post them (note to self… get on with it!). There is something very charming about this piece which is one of my favourites from the paint jam on Lucky Lane.
Doors 374 – Doors of Madeira (part V) – September 2025
I am feeling pretty lousy this morning, so will probably keep this short. These doors are the last set of painted doors from Funchal, the capital of Madeira. There are some beauties in this selection. I can’t believe that before we went, I hadn’t clocked these doors, given my interest in both doors and street art. This meant that discovering them was a lovely surprise. If I had read the guidebook properly, I’d have had advance warning, but somehow, it all felt rather more authentic stumbling upon them, especially with my family, who often think I contrive these opportunities.
These doors are mostly from a couple of streets that run parallel with the sea front. I hope you enjoy them:

So that’s it for this week. Wishing you a fabulous weekend when it comes.
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 an outstanding collaboration from Dibz and visiting artist Jenks. I understand from reading Jenks’ Instagram post that this is their take on the Big Pun, Capital Punishment album cover (not something I would have known – being ignorant of such things). The writing is by Dibz and the portrait by Jenks.
Dibz and Jenks, Dean Lane, Bristol, October 2026
I have a feeling that this piece might have been painted on the same day as the large Street Fighters piece I posted yesterday. The portrait is a skilled piece of work and a faithful reprodiction of the album, and of course Dibz’ writing says tthe words ‘capital punishment’ in his own stunning style. You can see what the album cover actually looks like below.
Amyleejones and Emma Char, Lucky Lane, Bristol, October 2026
This is a wonderful piece in Lucky Lane, which I understand might have been painted for World Women’s Day in March this year, and not part of the Bristol Mural Collective paint jam. It is a collaboration between Amy Lee Jones and Emma Char and really rather special.
Amyleejones and Emma Char, Lucky Lane, Bristol, October 2026
It is hard to know how the collaboration was divided up between the artisrts, but I would guess one of them took care of the portraits and the other the patterns on the clothing and the writing. It is a very calming piece and a fabulous celebration of women by women. The words ‘Like other women’ can have several meanings, which is a clever touch.
I would suggest that over the last year or so, Minto has had the most productive and high-profile period since his return to Bristol. Barely a week goes by without one of his deconstructed, elemental pieces appearing on some wall somewhere.
Minto, Cumberland Basin, Bristol, September 2026
Minto has recently taken rather a liking to using a black backdrop for his pieces, perhaps because it helps to pick out each of the little components that make up his letters MINTO. This is a very busy piece with so much going on, and so many colours and shapes, all of which contribute brilliantly to the whole. Fine work from Minto.
Shade One, Fade, Jody, Jenks, Sikoh, Dibz and Rusk, Dean Lane, Bristol, September 2026
However hard I try, I am not going to be able to do this large production wall justice. So many artists and so much quality on show in one themed piece. The artists, some of the finest around, are Shade One, Fade, Jody, Jenks, Sikoh, Dibz and Rusk, who has recently celebrated his 50th birthday. The piece is a throwback reminiscence of the video game Street Fighter (humorously labelled Street Writerz above the piece).
Shade One, Dean Lane, Bristol, September 2026
Starting with the left-hand side, Shade One portrays the character E Honda in this outstanding portrait, painted in greyscale apart from the red striped on his face. A stunning piece augmented with a fine silhouetted scene.
Fade, Dean Lane, Bristol, September 2026
Next up, is the character Dhalsim, rising high above some fiery letters by Fade. I cannot be certain who from this collaboration painted the character – perhaps someone out there could fill me in. Few, if any, of the elements were individually signed, so it is difficult to put names to all of them.
Jody, Dean Lane, Bristol, September 2026
In the centre of the collaboration is another outstanding character piece, this time by Jody, who has faithfully recreated Chun Li striking a fighting pose. Brilliantly done.
Jenks, Sikoh, Dibz and Rusk, Dean Lane, Bristol, September 2026
Moving further along the wall several characters come in to view. At the top left is Zanghief, holding a spray can (why not), possibly by Jenks. Below that is some bone writing and the head of Blanka, which I think might be by Sikoh. Top right is writing from Dibz spelling out Guile, another character from the video game, and rounding off the piece Ryu by Rusk.
Rusk, Dean Lane, Bristol, September 2026
That last character fits nicely onto one frame so Rusk gets a second mention in this post. While this is one of the most dynamic themed production collaborations I have seen, it has been a bit of a tricky one to attribute elements to artists. My apologies if I have got any of this wrong. Superb piece, which I imaging will be around for quite some time.
