Continuing with my rapid-fire posts, this was written yesterday on a train coming back to Bristol from Dorchester, because by the time this goes live I’ll be in the air somewhere over Greece (I hope) with a very early start.
A stunning new combination piece from Taboo just near the main entrance to Temple Meads Station, combining his anti-style lettering with a great rendition of Disney’s Pluto. He is so very good at these combination pieces, mixing the familiar with the less so.
Scooj, this is what makes Taboo special, he doesn’t just paint, he combines. Pluto with that anti-style lettering is such a bold choice, but it somehow flows. You’ve got a real talent for finding these pieces and capturing why they matter.

Thank you. He has done quite a lot of Disney characters, sometimes distorted, alongside his writing.

That’s brilliant, taking Disney characters and distorting them alongside his writing adds such depth. It’s like he’s having a conversation with the familiar, making people see them differently. Taboo sounds like an artist who’s really saying something.
