We used to eat at Jamie’s Italian on Park Street reasonably often as it was a restaurant that the whole family liked. Sadly his business overstretched itself and had to close a whole ton of branches, including this one in Bristol. On the upside though, the hoarding on the outside has been beautifully decorated with a Cheba and Inkie collaboration.

This piece speaks volumes about the independent and individual culture of Bristol – that street art is sanctioned and even encouraged onto one of the most iconic shopping streets in the city and that the piece itself is bright and cheery and a bold statement of pride about the street itself. The work was sponsored by the Bristol Buisness Improvement District (BID) and was painted at the start of July.
Looking at the artwork itself, it is quite difficult to see an Inkie piece and not read the word Inkie in it. I swear I read Inkie whenever I see it. Cheba dose what Cheba does and provides a splendid cosmic backdrop for the letters. A fine collaboration and ‘in your face’ (in a nice way) piece of Bristol street art.
Will try to get that on Monday if I have time . Spoke to Inkie yesterday and asked him if I could take pix of his old one before he painted over it. Often sen it there but because of the fence, never tried to take a shot before

If he doesn’t get one, I’ll make sure I get some today. Bit tricky with the rain yesterday afternoon and today is going to be a write-off. I’m going away on Monday, so I may miss a lot of pieces that will be finished on Monday. Kind of annoying.

Weatherwise Cheltenham has not (so far) been as bad as forecast. Lots of drizzle type rain but no heavy stuff like yesterday. Cloudy / sunny-ish at present.
