Another fabulous mural created as part of Upfest 2105. This huge scene by DANK (Dan Kitchener) above the Salvation Army shop on the corner of Church Street and North Street is worth a trip to the area on its own. It reminds me of some of the street scenes from Blade Runner – and that is a good thing.

DANK, a London artist remains on the legal side of street art, and supports it through the large amount of commercial work that he does. He includes among his influences comics, science fiction films and black and white ’60s war films. There is a good interview with him from a couple of years ago here.

8/10
Yeah, it is really interesting how vocal he is about “legal” street art. I wondered why? Maybe because he does have so many commercial jobs?

I think that’s right – his art is great, but he is not quite mischievous enough for my liking.

Wow, love this mural. I have recently moved out of Bristol after three years studying and miss it so much already! Maybe you’d like to do me a favour as I’m a new blogger and have a look at my recent posts of pictures I took during my time there? See if you recognise them all? 🙂
