Sometimes you can hang on to a photograph for so long that it becomes a bit of an albatross. I took these pictures back in January this year, and I have some that are even older. The reason that I haven’t posted them until now is that although I know who the street artist is – Kleiner shames – who writes FOIS in his pieces, I don’t know anything about him, so I don’t have a lot to say.
I think I have actually photographed him working on a piece in Hill Street, but I’ll save that for another time. Other than that, Kleiner Shames remains a complete enigma. His work is very elaborate wildstyling of his name, with a touch of what I would call art deco influences…I think it is the curves. This work can be found on the corner between Nine Tree Hill and Armada Place, another Stokes Croft hotspot.
The observant viewers might see an iconic Rowdy crocodile on the building behind. More about that in a future post.

His full name is John Fois. Apparently he is a legend in Bristol?

I believe so, but hard to find a profile.

Agreed. Sometimes street artists will use one after their name for their Facebook and Instagram. Not him. If I run across anything I will put on the post.
