I think that the biggest compliment I can pay Hemper is that he is the most versatile graffiti writer in Bristol. He has turned his hand to so many different styles for his letters, some more conventional than others, but no two pieces are ever the same, and if he didn’t write his letters, it could be quite difficult to identify some of his pieces – quality would be the only measure.
This is a big bold piece on the roundabout, his brown-grey letters perfectly decorated with spots and bars. Outside the black border, here are hints of a thin yellow border, the sign of a great writer. The green striped drop shadow has a vanishing point somewhere between the ‘E’ and ‘M’ of HEMS. A quality piece which sits beneath a cheeky appearance by Corupt, who ‘owns’ the higher level of this wall.
