7499. Dean Lane skate park (905)

What a superb piece from Werm in the Deaner. The symmetry created from the letters WERM is excellent, and something Werm plays with a lot in his work. This might be the tightest one yet. The brownish fill is in two tones and is best described as a chocolate mousse look – regulars will know that I am not fond of brown, but I’ll let it go in this instance.

The deep drop shadow veering to the left provides depth and the light blue background plenty of contrast, bit devices lifting the letters nicely. The red border creates a nice boundary between the letters and background, and I like the ‘cloud’ detail in the blue background. This is an interesting piece that deserves a while to enjoy it.

Creamylines is having something of a purple patch both in terms of quality and quantity of his pieces. This is one of two that I found up at Purdown on a recent dog walk, and I can’t tell you how pleased I was to see them.

There is an unbridled sense of optimism in Creamylines’ work that taps into the essentials of our existence – sunshine, landscapes, nature and people, stripping things back to core values and experiences as humans. This gorgeous piece is less busy than some of his works, allowing our eyes time to alight on some of the details. I love the watercourse at the bottom of the piece, and some of the faces peering in. Thank you Creamylines for making the world a brighter place.

This Surbiton Station wall was a lucky spot to find and has kept my posts ticking over during a rather lean spell on the streets of Bristol. This particular piece is a rather old, but nonetheless stunning combination piece by SkyHigh.

His letters, painted with the characteristic multi style blocks, are broken up with a superb parrot, confirming that SkyHigh is equally happy painting letters and wildlife portraits. A quick look at his gallery will show you that he paints these combinations quite regularly.

The blue and gold macaw is absolutely amazing, and I am in awe of SkyHigh’s skill with his spray cans to be able to create something so beautiful and so accurate. It is about time that he and Roo paid another visit to Bristol.

I am off to another football match in London to watch Arsenal play Chelsea. Full of nerves that other fans might appreciate, and non fans might find puzzling. The long and short of it is that I have to get a move on. This is a wonderful piece by Hemper, painted as part of a paint jam at the roundabout a couple of weeks ago.

Hemper has had a quiet winter, following on from a superbly productive and positive 2025. His talent is there for all to see, and he has smashed it with this metallic-look writing. The letters spell HEMS and the combination of blues, greys and whites create the illusion of shining metal – such clever deception. I particularly like the crazy orange drop shadow, that appears to break the rules and gets away with it. Wonderful work.

7495. St Werburghs tunnel (574)

I would describe Cort’s graffiti writing as unconventional, both in its conceptual design and also in its unusual selection of colours. These are, in my view, good attributes and what contributes to his ‘quirky’ work standing out.

This piece, spelling KORT, is so off the wall that it is quite difficult to critique, other than to say I really like it. One of the unusual features in this particular piece is the cut away squares in the letters, that provide that very distinctive look so peculiar to Cort. It is good to see more of his work appearing at the moment, as a great balance to the volume of conventional graffiti art we are so lucky to see in Bristol.

I do love the spot up at Purdown; it serves the dual purpose being a fabulous place to walk the dog, and there can often be some surprising new street art additions on the concrete slabs at the former WWII gun emplacement. This beauty by Conrico was quite fresh, the last time I went there.

I am very much enjoying Conrico’s portrait pieces, and he is in a deep purple patch of form. This bright portrait piece shows off Conrico’s style at its best. He uses his spray can more like a brush, with short bursts used to apply layers of paint, rather than long solid fills. He is, I think, the best at this technique in Bristol, and his works look like they could easily have been painted in a studio. I love the green jacket and all the folds and shades in it. This is a masterful piece, and I like the young couple sitting above it enjoying the view over the city.

Fasho, River Avon, Bristol, November 2025

Recently I posted the first piece by Fasho on Natural Adventures, and I said that I’d dig out some of his pieces from my archive, and here I am staying true to my word. I haven’t met Fasho, but I think he? belongs to a group of graffiti artists who like to stay under the radar a little, so I will respect that until such time as I meet him.

I have many more photographs of his pieces in my archives, because I like the unconventional structure of his letters, and I will endeavour to dig more of them out. The letters spell FASHO, and have this curious rounded knobbly look to them, I guess a device to stand out from the crowd, which seems to work. The letters are filled with vertical purple and red stripes of varying width, and contained within a yellow, white and black triple border. Nice work.
