I can jump so high

to the moon and stars above

believe me I can.

Groundhog day

 

Saw my first today

only a fleeting glimpse; I

saw my first today.

My recent trip to the United States offered so many new experiences, and wildlife encounters…expect more to crop up in this blog.

England

 

Farewell New England;

old England awaits, flights booked

we’re on our way home.

The stillness reaches

into my soul; once again

I can breathe easy.

Abundant green growth

shares the trackside with discards

and bold graffiti.

A restful moment

261. The Bearpit (19)

19When it comes to Deamze pieces, we have come to expect some complex and elaborate wildstyle work. It is not always the case though, and this is an example of a simpler style of piece that he produces from time to time.

More like a throw up (a rapidly produced and usually spontaneous work), this clean and simple piece demonstrates the full range of talent springing from the incredibly prolific Deamze. Bristol’s greatest writer?

260. Ashley Road (7)

I can keep this relatively short and sweet. The practice hoardings at the Stokes Croft end of Ashley Road tend to have one of the highest turnovers of graffiti art in Bristol. Because of this it is easy to miss new pieces before they are over-painted, but sometimes, if you get the timing right, you will see a beauty like this.

It is no secret that I am a big fan of Face F1st, and this is my favourite to date. I really love the the way that PWA (Pirate Wall Art) is incorporated into the hair decoration. The  designs in the lettering are becoming more elaborate too.

It sounds patronising, and certainly isn’t meant to, but I find this piece really charming. Just beautiful.
