Esme Lower (Melo) absolutely smashed it with this massive commission on the harbourside from September/October last year. The opportunity was facilitated by Upfest and supported by Bristol Bid and Redcliffe and Temple Bid.

The brief was to bring together elements of the Women’s Rugby World Cup, inspiring women of Bristol and local references to the harbour and businesses. So not too much of a challenge there then. Her upbeat cartoon scenes and characters lent themselves very well to the brief, and the outcome is hugely impressive, as the pictures below show. Well done Melo!






Certainly brightens everything up

Every time I’ve been down there to photograph this there have been multiple reasons why I can’t get any shots of it at all.
I have a feeling you no doubt strolled along with the pooch and got all this done first time ffs . . . 🤣🤷♂️

Yep, it was a single shoot. I also found it by accident. On a day in the office, so no dog in tow.
