It is quite amazing just how vibrant the street/graffiti art scene is in Bristol. So far I have published 31 different artist galleries, but this is just scratching the surface of the talent in the city (and beyond). Every day I will find something by artists I have never heard of before (I am still learning), maybe because they don’t paint very often or maybe because they are new or sometimes our paths simply haven’t crossed. This really nicely worked collaboration is by Awkward and Benjimagnetic, neither of whom I know about.
From looking at their Instagram accounts, which I found by looking up #jointhecloaks featured at the bottom of the piece, it looks like both are well connected to the music industry. The skull on the right was by Awkward, and the writing by Benjimagnetic. I think that the latter does more graffiti work and has several pieces posted on his Instagram feed. On my first encounter with these two I woud say that their work is accomplished and this piece certainly caught my eye. I wonder if I’ll be seeing any more of it around the place.

Another fascinating find! Thanks for detailing the Instagram sleuthing, I’ve often wondered how you sorted out what was by which artist.

Instagram has become a great tool for digging out information. Some pieces I simply recognise from the style or concealed signature. Others I have to ask friends.

Benjimagnetic is a really nice guy and is a member of RAW
Something that he writes quite often is his distinctive style
This year he has been really busy

Just can’t understand how I’ve not seen his stuff before.

He’s old school but had a lay off from painting due to many reasons but is now making hay whilst the rain pours . . .
