Watching the evolution of this piece by Ebee was fascinating. I don’t think the weather was very helpful, and it probably took a lot longer to complete than the artist might have originally envisaged.

Yet another gift to Bristol from an Upfest artist, although this one had actually been living in the city for some years before ending up in London. Xenz was afforded one of the premium walls at Upfest which he sprayed in collaboration with Will Barras – more on this when I post it.
This writing feels like a ‘getting back to my roots’ kind of piece, traditional and fabulously animated. The butterflies and the birds incorporated into the piece really chime for me and give it that sense of urban/rural crossover and sense of irony. I was really happy to have found this and photographed it, because all too often pieces here disappear before you can blink.

It is great when visiting artists come to Bristol for Upfest, and then decide to remain a short while in the City adding one or two more pieces. On this occasion, Helen Bur was accompanied to one of Bristol’s great spots by Kid Crayon, where she sprayed this lovely piece.
I like these letters and especially the HB pencil which appears to be a signature icon, if her website is anything to go by. As an aside, it is interesting that she uses a pencil and was spraying with Kid Crayon, who always used to feature a crayon in his work although recently he seems to have dropped it. Artists featuring the tools of their trade.
This is a good piece, and as a resident of Bristol, it is always pleasant to see visiting artists enjoying our streets.
Autumn
A new month begins
bringing with it a season
colourful and cold.
