This morning, I updated the gallery of Mote’s work and tweeted it (not that anyone looks at my Twitter feed, but I did it anyway). I was surprised at how many pieces he has painted since February/March last year, and how he has really established himself as a constant presence in the city in little over a year.

This is a lovely piece on the cycle/pedestrian riverside path adjacent to a light-industrial estate. The imaginary beast contains several elements that are familiar, but the way they are assembled presents us with a weird and wonderful creature of Mote’s imagination. I love Mote’s work as it really stands out, and here are only one or two other artists doing anything like this in Bristol at the moment.
