217. Hepburn Road (2)

It is  great how things start to come together. Twelve months ago I could probably have named only two Bristol street artists, and one of them was Banksy! Now that I have been blogging about the amazing street art in Bristol for about a year, I am slowly becoming more familiar with the local artists and their styles. Some still confuse me, but generally I know what I am looking at.

This lovely collaboration appeared in January this year in Hepburn Road – a heavily sprayed alleyway, about 20m long. The robot thing on the left is by DNT (Bruno Dante), the swirly abstract is by the wonderful Mr Klue (getting a lot of posts at the moment) and the rat is by Akarat

I have struggled to separate the work of Hoax and Akarat, and still do. I now know though that the little squiggle above the rat’s head is Akarat’s signature, which shouyld make things a little easier.

Sadly this piece is now gone, but I was lucky enough to see and enjoyed passing it many times.
