Mistaken by many for a Banksy, this wonderful stencil is actually by JPS (Jamie Paul Scanlon) and was sprayed in 2013. Clearly it draws on Banksy’s style and subject matter, but that is no surprise as JPS credits his emergence and confidence as a street artist with a visit he made to a Banksy exhibition at Bristol Museum.
I have written several posts about the work of JPS, and he remains my favourite Bristol-based artist.

That’s a sweet and uplifting image!

JPS does some of the best cat stencils around. C215 remains king but JPS is gaining ground. Second the comment by Poet Rummager! I think JPS is more positive than Banksy. Personal opinion only.

I’ve not seen any C215 stuff in the flesh, but the portraits are amazing. JPS has a good nature about him, and whilst cynical at times it is always gentle. Banksy can be brutal and confrontational. I like them both.
