Kid Crayon, March Street, Bristol, December 2015

80. Marsh Street

It is easy to work out that Bristol has been shaped, historically, physically and culturally, by the River Frome and the freshwater environment. Street names are the biggest clue. Here we have Marsh Street, but there are many other watery names, including Broadmead, Quay Street, Wade Street, Broad Weir and Ferry Street to name only a few.

I digress. This is yet another Kid Crayon whestpaste in a street that has very little other graffiti. It is a reasonably uninteresting street for pedestrians and street artists alike.

I was pleased to have found this work, because it is one of several that KC has themed with the two red stripes on the face. I’m not sure what the stripes represent and maybe I’ll never know. They make an appearance also on the faces of the characters from the mural in Fairfax Street.

Another unusual but likable work.

I am Stephen. I live in Bristol, UK. I decided to shorten my profile...to this: Wildlife, haiku, travel, streetart, psychogeography and my family. Not necessarily in that order.
