Over the winter, Dibz has been reasonably quiet, but it is noticeable that the frequency of his newly painted pieces is beginning to pick up a little. Here he has teamed up with Rusk to create this fine combination collaboration

The collaboration is one of those where the colour palette is what joins them, with Dibz providing the writing and Rusk the character. This was an early birthday piece for Soker, so the letters spell SOKER. The colours blue and gold (yellow) work well together, and as ever, Dibz work is immaculate.

Rusk has plumped for a character piece rather than letters, but he is equally at home with either. The classic character with baseball cap and spraycan is holding a rather growly dog on a tight leish. The words say ‘every dog has its day’ – perhaps an oblique reference to Soker’s birthday. Altogether a nice piece from the pair.

The turnover at Sparke Evans Park had been quite slow over the winter months, as pretty much the whole wall had been adopted as a tribute wall for Paroe and to a lesser extent Dorns. Over time new pieces emerge, but mostly as single or doubles at most out of respect for the tributes.

With the emergence of spring, and a limited number of walls available to paint, tribute walls are a luxury that have their time but yield eventually to new art. RBN One painted this awesome piece at the far right-hand end of the wall at Sparke Evans Park. His beautiful grey letters, lifted with a great 3D drop shadow, are filled with a red mid-line and grey and white reversed out spots. The dramatic yellow background with floating blocks is a perfect host for the piece. Lovely graffiti writing.

When you have reached the heady heights of being at the top of your game, in the way that 3Dom is, it must be quite difficult to find new and exciting ideas to keep things fresh. With his new series of ‘street elves’ 3Dom has managed just that and given himself a whole new project to enjoy alongside all of his other outstanding work.

This piece isn’t signed, but I have spotted another similar piece which is, so I am pretty certain it is by 3Dom. The ‘elf’ is built up with several different colourful components or blocks that come together to create a whole portrait extended up the column. Attractive and nicely symmetrical. Watch this space for more.

A week or two back there was an EAT/DoOrDie paint jam on Stapleton Road, alongside the M32 motorway, with an X-Men theme. This piece, by SPZero76 is one of the three painted that day.SPZero76 has a special place in Natural Adventures because he was one of the first regular artists that I photographed and wrote about ten years ago. Although he used to paint more often then, his pieces are always outstanding.

The raccoons, creatures that appear in most of SPZero76’s cartoon-style work, are playing out the parts of Wolverine with its claw hand and Cyclops, who is wearing 3D specs instead of his special visor – a nice twist. An incredible scene unfolds in such illustrative detail. This is a truly fabulous piece of cartoon character street art.

Mr Klue has returned and taken up one of his favourite spots at the entrance to St Werburghs tunnel. To me, this one looks a little different from many of his recent pieces. The letters KLUE look much more chunky and slightly compressed.

The familiar scrolls are larger than usual and feature strongly in this piece of abstract writing. Towards the top of the piece it looks like there are vapours rising skywards. Some tiny bursts of orange hint at something going on in the piece, almost as if it is about to burst into flames. Nice work from Mr Klue, king of the tunnel.

One of the great pleasures of doing what I do is enjoying the vast spectrum of different styles and approaches to street/graffiti art that it is possible to see in Bristol. Billy is the creator of wonderful bright child-like illustrations that are so welcoming and upbeat.

In this political commentary piece, a dog is holding a peace symbol in its paws and a flower in its mouth, while a war scene unfolds in the background. A very sad reflection of the state of the world at the moment. The words ‘old dog, new tricks’ suggests to me that you can’t teach an old dog (Trump/USA/Israel/Iran) new tricks (peace, negotiation, compromise).

I hadn’t seen much activity from Noise over the winter months, so much so that I wondered whether he might have moved away. I needn’t have worried as he is now painting regularly again, and with some outstanding results.

I love the colour combination of this piece of graffiti writing on the long wall at Cumberland Basin. Light blues and pinks always work so well together. His letters are a little less chunky than usual, leaving room for a strong drop shadow in a slightly contrasting blue. Set on a black wall, the piece stands out nicely. He finishes with some words “time for action” which could mean any number of things, but Noise knows what.

When I drove past this piece for the first time, I performed a monumental double-take. One of those ones when you lose control of your driving for a split second, before pulling yourself together.  Such is the power and allure of Nice One’s landscapes.

Nice One has successfully brought edgy fine art to our streets. He isn’t an artist who falls for the trappings of high-end commissions, but expresses himself freely and without conditions. There are so many influences that I can see in this dreamy landscape such as Cezanne. The piece is beautifully balanced with wildflowers in the foreground on the left, and a village clinging to the hillside on the right, with a river valley running through the middle. The piece is given additional drama with a lively sky overhead. A truly excellent piece by Nice One. Bravo!
