Even if you haven’t seen the film series – ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street‘ you will almost certainly have seen representations or images of Freddy Krueger, the villain of the piece. If you haven’t, then here he is in all his nightmarish glory. This is a magnificent stencil piece by JPS (who else), that faithfully conveys the Krueger character.
JPS, Tropicana, Weston-super-Mare, August 2016I have written a lot about JPS and how much I admire his work, and it is when you get up close to pieces like this that you really appreciate his incredible skill. His love for the entertainment industry and the characters it creates provides him with plenty of material.
JPS, Tropicana, Weston-super-Mare, August 2016JPS seems to enjoy the horror, sci-fi and adventure genres as well as straying occasionally into cartoon characters. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again…JPS is pretty much responsible for me writing about street art in the first place, so he is in my view, a bit of a hero, an inspiration.
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.

I have been wondering around Bristol today Scooj and finally got to see some the artworks you photographed. Thanks to you I know more about the artists too – Sol
I saw a bit of it at a party once. I used to joke that Hitchcock made it so I couldn’t take a shower, and “Freddy Krueger”, so I couldn’t take a bath. Also, I’ve never liked Johnny Depp. Maybe it goes back to this too.

Hey, that’s fabulous. I hope you had a lovely time here. The turnover of art is so quick, lots of new stuff even this weekend!
