Life is full of surprises, which on balance is a fantastic thing, and finding this piece by SPZero76, which had been so totally off my radar, was a joyful moment. This is a part of town I rarely visit and I was passing through between two spots that I more regularly visit. This piece has a ‘sister’ which I will post in due course.

This pirate scene is on the wall of the Seven Stars Inn, adjacent to the music venue The Fleece. I think SPZero76 probably has an arrangement with the landlord, because on Google maps, there is a different piece by him here. These pirates follow a sort of convention that the artist likes to paint, with a combination of human characters and part-mechanised characters. It is a theme he returns to again and again. The execution as ever is spectacular. A good find.
He’s painted there a few times I think but this one looks fresh so great find indeed . . .

Did you get the one the other side? I got these in 2015: https://urbanartalacarte.blogspot.com/2016/01/street-art-by-spzero76-8-7-stars-mural-1.html & https://urbanartalacarte.blogspot.com/2016/01/street-art-by-spzero76-9-7-stars-mural-2.html You were lucky. Due to Covid you didn’t have the empty barrels in the way

Fabulous. The empty barrels are on the other side, so my picture of the other wall is a bit obscured.

I was there today and realised it’s not so new after all and I have in fact seen it before but it’s still a beauty anyway
