6213. Dean Lane skate park (733)

Over the last couple of months I have tried to post three pieces a day (upped from two a day before) to try and do justice to the sheer quantity and variety of artwork in Bristol. The harsh reality though is that about 60-70%, still, of the art I photograph never sees the light of day. I could make things easier for myself by being more selective and only posting ‘high-end’ pieces, but that is not what this blog is all about. Within these pages I strive to include, new entrants alongside established artists, stencils alongside graffiti writing and so on to reflect the diversity of the street art/graffiti scene in the city. So I shall plod along driven by my own enthusiasm and desire to share the amazing art in this Bristol.

This is the second piece by Dirtygypo that I have posted and it most definitely won’t be the last. His work is bright and energetic and although different in style to Grimes, for example, it leaves one with a similar feeling of excitement and positivity. These two artists, and there are others, appear to be bringing something fresh to the mainstream that we are used to here, and I thoroughly welcome it. Great use of colour and unusual letter shapes, nicely defined with a black border combine to make this a really rather good piece.
