1571. M32 roundabout J3 (88)

What a lovely collaboration between two artists that are highly regarded in Bristol, but whose work I don’t often get to see, Ulow and Hemper. The character on the left is by Ulow and is expertly painted. It is impossible not to marvel at the subtle shades he uses and the folds in the material – a sophisticated cartoon style character.

On the right is a wonderful piece of writing from the master Hemper. I wonder if he needed an extra foot of height on this wall. I have found it hard to find out too much about Hemper, but keep coming across his work from time to time. I have found the best way to find out more about the artists is through a serendipitous meeting while they are at work. This has not yet happened between me and Hemper, although it has with Ulow.

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. 4 people involved in that piece 2 I’d never come across before did the bits on the left and the character on the extrete right – but I’ve lost the link to where I read that! really annoying!

  2. Found it – Tommy Olow’s FB page! From left to right – Atch, Howl, Ulow, Hems and Atch again with the biggie characters. Full wall we painted down the M32 in Bristol on Saturday.
