Cock Dicks is a Bristol-Based artist who occasionally transfers her skills to the walls in Bristol alongside the Bristol Mural Collective. In this piece for Upfest 2024, up at the Greville Smyth Park Bowling Club, she has painted a mural containing the most iconic emblem of Bristol, some hot air balloons.
I was lucky enough to meet Cock Dicks, whose mischievous name is derived from her surname (Dicks) combined with her mother’s maiden name (Cock), while she was painting this piece and told her that I had written about her art on Natural Adventures before, and she seemed to be surprised that I knew that she had painted with the Bristol Mural Collective occasionally.
Using brushes rather than spray cans, Cock Dicks has created a rather loveable collection of balloons, each with big eyes and differing expressions cleverly portrayed by the shape of the eyebrows and mouth and angle of the eyes. This is a piece for all the family, and captures the spirit of Bristol and Upfest perfectly.

Although I did see a massive human shit in Peel Green by the new Trafficity piece which wasn’t so pleasant and then saw a wild eyed man with cock in hand taking a piss on the cycle path behind the Black Swan which was equally unpleasant . . .
