It was great to see that the Upfest organisers had allocated a long hoarding on Greenway Bush Lane to showcase several Bristol-based graffiti writers and artists, who keep the city vibrant day in day out. Among their number is DJ Perks, who painted this nice piece on a narrow pavement with parked cars right up against it.
The work itself is a straightforward piece of writing, spelling out PERKS in decorated red letters and the ‘R’ in a contrasting green. What makes this piece different is the depth of the 3D drop shadow with a vanishing point way below the pavement, which is quite unusual, for sure. The whole thing is neat and tidy, and although not DJ Perk’s best work, certainly gives a flavour of his great talent.
