Wow, this is a superb on-message piece by Daz Cat painted to celebrate Tera’s birthday. As we know, Tera is rather fond of his scary horror pieces and so Daz Cat has leapt straight in there with a cat horror piece of his own.

Daz Cat has managed to capture a menacing look in this cat portrait piece, that has a tortured face. The cat creature appears to be emerging from a flower stem, and the two orange ‘hands’ are cat-like flower heads. This is a curious and imaginative piece by Daz Cat and a thoughtful contribution to the celebratory paint jam.

7444. New Stadium Road (61)

Seed is working really hard to make an impression on the Bristol street art scene. He is being brought on by Zinso and Asre and often paints alongside Seam and Bogz. It has been a long while since these walls have been painted, and with any luck others will follow in Seed’s footsteps.

Above the large lettered piece Seed has written ‘Look mum I am a doctor’, which is rather touching and fun, and his letters include the DR letters in front. The whole piece is a little crude, but as I said before, I think that Seed is a diamond in the rough, and if he keeps on practising, he will go far. A bright and bold piece.

Sometimes you see a classic piece of writing and just say ‘yep, this is it’, and that is what I thought to myself when I saw these colourful letters from Kush. It is a rare thing to see a piece with so many colour transitions so perfectly presented.

Kush painted this alongside Haka, and the pair seem to have been paint together a fair bit recently. I know very little about Kush, but he seems to be painting more often lately, and I guess it is just a matter of time before I bump into him. I am enjoying the variety and class of his pieces.

I am not enjoying the upgrade that WordPress have made to the block editor. I do wish they’d leave things as they are. I use the Classic version to write these posts, but now it forces me into a classic editor screen, which is pants really. Old dog new tricks…

This is a rather joyful piece of writing from Kool Hand in the tunnel to celebrate Tera’s birthday. Simple in its design, the two-tone letters in yellow and lime green are bordered with a pink outline. There is a ragged edge to the letters, something that Kool Hand seems to be enjoying at the moment. A fun birthday piece.

It is always good when an artist who is the beneficiary of a birthday paint jam manages to conjure up something a little special to mark the occasion, and that is exactly what Ulow has managed to do here.

Ulow has painted a street artist character dressed well for the winter and with a spray can in his hand. What makes Ulow’s work extra special is that he paints in tones, in this case blues and pinks, rather than with a full colour palette, and the outcome is always captivating. A lovely birthday piece from Ulow.

What an absolute pleasure it was to come across this combination piece by Avem808, while walking the dog along the Bristol to Bath cycle path behind Greenbank Cemetary. I have only seen a handful of pieces by the artist, but each of them has been a cracker.

I think this is the first combination piece I have seen by Avem808 and it is composed of the letters AV and EM bookending a cartoon crocodile character in the middle. The blended letter fills are very well done, and he has an interesting take on the 3D drop shadow that seems to go in all directions, possibly to a vanishing point in the middle somewhere. A refreshing piece and I hope, an indication of what is to come this year.

Haka has had quite a quiet winter period, so I was very happy when I came across this lovely combination piece painted alongside his friend Kush. This wall hasn’t been properly refreshed for a long time, and this is a marked improvement that might encourage a little more activity here.

I am not sure who the little mouse character is, but I guess he will be from a children’s picture book, as that is where Haka draws much of his inspiration from. His letters are superb, and I love the blue drop shadow drifting off to the right. A wonderful fun piece.

I managed to catch up with Trafficity as he was finishing off this beauty on the River Avon. I seem to bump into the artist more often than chance would dictate, and so put it down to having matching ‘clocks’ of which spots to visit and when. I happens with some artists more than others.

Trafficity has produced another of his stock pieces, with the same design of letters that he always uses, but with a slightly different colour combination. What sets this piece apart from his other work is that he has spent more time on the background, and those pink flashes, which accessorises his work a little more than usual. Always steady and always outstanding.

Class always stands out, and even if one is not a fan of graffiti art, it is possible to see that this writing by Smak is rather special. There is something about the artwork in this piece that reminds me of a Bristol writer called Epok, who hasn’t been very active for several years now.

The letters SMAK are really well disguised in a stunning arrangement of colours and shapes. This is graffiti writing out of the very top drawer.
