I am a huge sucker for any street art featuring a chameleon because my daughter has a beautiful panther chameleon called George, and he is really one of the most exquisite looking reptiles you could set eyes on. This is a piece by Dun Sum, an artist I’ve not encountered before, who seems to favour painting at L Dub. Looking at his Instagram account, it looks like he is a designer/illustrator by profession who does a bit of street art in his spare time.

This chameleon is wonderfully colourful and cleanly painted with a really interesting fill pattern – closely mirroring the kinds of patterns you find on these creatures. I rather like the additional concealed skull just behind its head. All in all a rather nice piece, and I’m sure not the last I’ll be featuring from this artist.
A nice piece. 🙂
I haven’t seen a chameleon here in so many years! They used to live in our garden.
Your daughter is lucky to have one as a pet. 🙂

Wow, you had them in your garden. As a nature boy I would have given my back teeth for such a thing.

I know! We were so lucky. My kids loved them and I even put one on my Mum’s blouse once when she visited. It changed colour accordingly. 😀
I don’t know why the chameleons went away – maybe climate change?

It could be climate change or other things that impact on biodiversity such as air quality, domestic animal predation, habitat loss or loss of food (insects)

Yes probably all of those things. 😦

I definitely like this piece and indeed Dun Sum’s work in general . . .

Have you seen any of it anywhere else in Bristol or only at L Dub?

He paints mostly at L Dub but he does paint elsewhere . . .

Never occurred to m that one day I would see Lawrence Weston (anearlier enclave of Roman gentry) referred to as “L Dub”. Very amusing. The reptile is amazing.

I agree with the label. It took me a while to figure it out.
