Month: December 2022

So here it is, the very last post of 2022. May I take this opportunity to thank you all for visiting Natural Adventures this year and keeping me writing and sharing the wonderful street art of Bristol, and may I wish you a happy and improved 2023 (a change of government would be a good start).

I round off the year with this piece from Conrico painted in Elton Street on one of the high boards on the side of the Lost Horizons Arts Centre. On first inspection I thought that this was a weird piece with a man eating black doughnuts, but then I took a closer look, and if I am not mistaken, it looks like it could be a DJ with a record deck in his mouth, and he is feeding himself vinyl. Set on a trippy background and with trippy eyes, the character is certainly involved in some kind of story, something Conrico does so well in his work.

Happy New Year Folks – see you on the other side.

So we round off the year – a quite horrendous year I might add – with this lovely Vozie piece from the tunnel. I fear that in my efforts to adjust the light and colours to be more natural, I might have corrupted the piece rather more than I had intended. I have always struggled with the colours of pieces in the tunnel.

In this piece, from another recent RBF paint jam, Vozie presents us with a stunning piece, painted with the confidence and assurance of an expert graffiti writer. The colour fades are smooth and the accent lines on the edges of the letters add so much to the look and feel. Her letters are very easy on the eye, and the ‘V’ is a really great opening letter. Looking forward to seeing more of Vozie in 2023.
