Hillgrove street is home to one of the most iconic pieces in Bristol, which I posted back in August 2015 and was my 18th street art post. Little did I think I would still be blogging about street art ten years later. I love it when I see the work of an artist new to me, and this shopfront piece by Janey Mary Jean is rather different and refreshing.
The piece is very much in keeping with the shop, The Haunted Bookshop, and is the first of what is, I believe, intended to be a monthly commission to decorate this wall, presumably with a spooky theme. Janey Mary Jean is an artist and apprentice tattooist based in Bristol. She painted this piece with a combination of spray cans and brush work. The piece depicts a skeleton riding a turquoise horse from a castle, and why not? But it is the smaller piece to the left that really caught my eye, an owl person fitting the space perfectly. I’ll be looking out for more from Janey from now on.

The smaller piece has been there for a little while and it’s great to see a bigger piece now as well . . .
