2289. Jessop Underpass (3)

 

These rabbits have bred like well… err… rabbits. There are dozens of them all over the city, and I have lost count of how many I have posted or photographed, and still I have a whole load in my archive. This particular one is relatively recent I think, as I pass this way quite frequently and hadn’t noticed it before last week.

Nevergiveup, or Nevergiveup Familia (NGU) to give him his full tag lives up to his name and has a determination to brighten up the city with his bunnies, while still keeping his hand in with some graffiti writing. I’m not sure how he finds the energy. It would take a hard soul to consider this bunny as vandalism. What would you prefer? A standard green/grey utility box with nothing attractive about it or a cheerful bunny bringing a smile to commuters’ faces? It is a no brainer, but I am waiting for the local headlines that announce Bristol City Council’s stiffening resolve to eradicate such vandalism. I hope it doesn’t come to that, I and many others in Bristol are fond of NGU’s rabbits.

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. It’s a matter of control methinks. I remember how I was when I sat on boards and councils. I can still hear the echos of “Who do they think they are?”. Grateful that I finally heard the refrain ” Who do we think we are?”

    1. I imagine his work causes all sorts of dilemmas for the council. They can’t have one rule for Banksy and another for everyone else… can they?

  2. They are probably the way forward as it’s pretty much impossible not to like them and they make people realise that street art can be exactly that instead of the mindless vandalism that unfortunately gives so many pieces a bad name
    This particular one has been there for quite a while, I think it may have been one of his Easter Bunnies . . .
