Shortly after I photographed this piece (within hours/days) a parked car was set on fire in this little underpass, and there was quite a lot of fire damage to the wall next to Dott Rotten’s work. You wonder what gets in to people sometimes. I would suggest that the council did something useful and bollarded-off this pedestrian tunnel, to stop cars parking here altogether.

As with so many pieces in Bristol at the moment, this one is a tribute piece to Ben Devine, who I am guessing was a friend of Dott Rotten’s. I think that this must have been painted on an anniversary, as there are several Ben Devine tributes in Dean Lane that have been around for about a year. Characteristically stylish, this is a touching stunner from Dott Rotten.
Yeah that fire looks like it must have been really nasty at the time . . .

It still looks pretty bad. I expect nothing will be done to paint the walls here, instead the council will continue to buff the entrance to the tunnel!

Every day we slip closer to 1984.

I reckon we’ve run past it at quite a pace right into a dystopian 2023 personally . . .
