The lifecycle of a wall is often fascinating, and under this piece by Weas(el) is a little bit of recent history that can be made out, because artists have painted over one another without buffing the wall. The sequence, over about 10 days or so was a beauty by Werm, then a piece from Seed, followed by another piece that I never saw and finally this one from Weas – I’ll show the others at the end of this post.
Weas’ work can be found literally all over Bristol – one of his tags has even made it onto a utility box very near my house. Although his ‘mega-tags’ are fun, he actually is, in my view, a much better artist when he turns his attention to his graffiti writing. His letter fills always give the impression that he is a man in a hurry, or that he likes his paint to go a long way. His letter style is quite easy on the eye, and of course combines the writing with the mega-tag I mentioned earlier. Weas certainly likes to make his mark.
