5535. St Werburghs tunnel (386)

A couple of weekends ago I bumped into Logoe just as he was finishing off his 9th piece in 24 hours or so. What! His productivity when he visits Bristol is simply off the scale. He saves up his time and paint and then blitzes the streets when he can. It all sounds a little obsessive to me, but who am I to comment?

What is notable is that even when he is rushing through the pieces, the quality of the final outcome is consistently. While we were chatting the subject of the dots arose, and I said to him that the row of little dots or ovals were fairly unique to him. It turns out that he started introducing them to his pieces to cover up little mistakes, and then they became a feature. He admitted that they are still used to cover up mistakes sometimes.

Both of these pieces, one at each end of the tunnel, are written in a cartoony script style, with thin letters, and both spelling out LOGOE, each beautifully themed with great colours. Of course the dots are there playing their part.

I am away in Cornwall at the moment, but I have a feeling that he might have paid another visit to Bristol this weekend, and if so, I’d better make sure I have enough memory on my camera.
