Tucked under the M32 is a well known Bristol wet-weather skate spot which has developed through great DIY work to create ramps, rails, steps etc. A busy place in the Winter. The area lends itself really well to graffiti artists as there is rather a lot of concrete in the form of walls and pillars. This is the first of many posts I will be writing about art in this area.
Silent Hobo, M32 Spot, Bristol, January 2017This is a lovely new piece by Silent Hobo. The proportions of the pillars work well for individual characters and this is a great example. I really love this, although Silent Hobo’s style is not to everyone’s liking. It is good news that he is out painting the streets again, as he appeared to have slowed down a little last year.
Silent Hobo, M32 Spot, Bristol, January 2017I don’t know where the ‘we are golden’ slogan comes from, but I like it. Positive stuff from one of Bristol’s established street artists.
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.

Hmmm it’s probably either the song of the same name by Mika (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_Are_Golden ) – can’t say I’d ever heard of that. Or maybe from the song ‘Woodstock’ by Joni Mitchell (I’m more familiar with the cover of it by Southern Comfort), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodstock_(song)

Probably a Silent Hobo earworm.
