213. Stokes Croft, the Carriageworks (7)

Instagram is a wonderful thing. I have only been using it for a couple of weeks, but it is a great way of finding new works by local street artists…getting a ‘tip-off’ if you like.

Yesterday I saw a post by Mr Klue of this fresh new piece. I managed to get some pictures on my way to London for a football match. Had it not been for Instagram, I may not have seen this until next week some time, by which time it will probably be tagged.

This is a lovely collaboration between Mr Klue, with his characteristic swirly patterns, and Akarat and Hoax on the top.

Akarat and Hoax collaborate a lot, and I find it difficult to know which of them does which part. I think that the stencil work is by Hoax. Either way, this is a wonderful piece.

I am not sure of the relevance of the number 64, but it was a good year!

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.

  1. There seems to be a great deal of symbolism here–none of which I get. Why is the guy in the hoodie or hazmat suit being attacked by a swan/Muscovy duck. Why is the guy in the green hoodie look like he is crying? There is a story here for sure. Wish I knew what it was.

  2. Sublime piece. Hey, I’m writing an article based on the commercialism of street art and how it was inevitable due to social media. I was wondering if I could ask you one or two questions for my next article?

    Let me know:)

      1. Can I ask you questions via your blog? Or could I perhaps I could get your email address and send you some questions. Your opinions and thoughts will most certainly carry weight. Just from reading your blog, I can see you have an open eye for the graffiti community.
