I first saw these two, Philth and N4T4, painting alongside each other, but not collaborating at Upfest 2016. Each of them was painting a portrait in their distinct styles. Since then, N4t4 appears to have stuck with his beautiful portrait pieces, and Philth has transitioned towards elaborate and stunning floral patterns.
This is a wonderful spot, above Hunters (an estate agent I think) which can be seen from quite a distance away, so you have plenty of time to enjoy it as you approach. This is one of those collaborations where the whole piece presents as one, with the portrait by N4T4 and the flower ‘print’ by Philth.
There is something rather dreamy about this piece, perhaps it is the predominant purple tone. Beautifully sited, framed and executed. Did you even notice the windows? More Upfest mmagic from the pair.
Natural adventures 
OK, after following your street art for quite a while, these Upfest selections have pushed me into “I want to visit Bristol!” Now, unlike a lot of my fellow Americans, I can find Britain on a map, and I do know that not all of Britain is England. I’ve heard of Bristol, as in “ship shape and Bristol fashion!” and even knew (basically) why there is that saying. But I never actually looked at a map to know where you are.
I assumed because of “ship shape…” that you’d be on the coast. What? On the River Avon? How? What? OK. Weird. You’re a ways away from Edinburgh… If/when the [expletive] visa stuff goes through, I plan on just touring the [favorite American expletive] out of Britain. I really want to see all of these murals.
