I am Stephen. I live in Bristol, UK. I decided to shorten my profile...to this: Wildlife, haiku, travel, streetart, psychogeography and my family. Not necessarily in that order.
Your face
My memories fade
and nothing lasts forever;
I can’t revive you.

528. Rivington Street, Shoreditch, London (2)
A rather lovely simple piece on the front of Franco’s Takeaway on Rivington Street by the magnificent French street artist Thierry Noir. In this work, there are several of Thierry’s figures in bright colours looking as though they are in a queue for the takeaway shop. Intentional I’m sure.
Pea souper

Thick fog wrapped around
insipid, ghostly buildings

A dark silhouette
his last vape before the train;

Mums and dads hug the

527. Moon Street (16)
This is one of the best walls in Moon Street (Stokes Croat even). It stands out, is a great size, and allows only for one piece at a time, giving the artist space to frame the piece nicely. Mr Klue is, I would suggest, the best abstract street artist in Bristol – instantly recognisable and very easy on the eye.
526. St Werburghs tunnel (3)
I have been holding back from posting these pictures, because although the collaboration between Kid Crayon and SPZero76 is magnificent, the photographs are pants. I have manipulated the light a little bit, but the colours simply don’t do the piece justice. The flash, used in one of the pictures simply bleaches the colours. All a bit rubbish and it exposes me as a non-photographer.
The composition is just crazy, characters firing water pistols at each other from flying cardboard boxes. Where did that idea come from? The styles of these two artists are quite contrasting, but the end result works really well.
Who is the lady and who is the bulldog in SPZero’s half of this collab? This is a really fun piece, long since gone. I have to say at this point that Kid Crayon really is one of my favourite Bristol artists, and finding his work anywhere is a real treat for me. To find it together with the great SPZero76 makes it just that little bit more special.
Surviving Christmas
Christmas cheer, not here;
children break for holidays…
Christmas booze more like.

*Not really – pretty excited about it all. Just wanted to have some fun with words.
525. Dean Lane skate park (28)
This is a bright and cheerful piece from back in August by Laic 217. Remember, it was warm and sunny then. This nice bit of writing follows the format favoured by Laic 217, that is, to write his name and add a feature, normally a face or figure.
Of course he also sprays the acid house melting faces, which I have featured on these pages before and which I rather like. I think I may have mentioned it before, but Laic 217 is one of those artists whose work can be found at most of the hotspots around the City. Many others tend to restrict their work to specific areas.
There is always more to come from this quiet talent.
