7358. M32 Spot (211)

Werm, M32 Spot, Bristol, December 2025

Alongside some of the ramps of the DIY skate park under the M32 are some low hoardings which play host to an array of graffiti, and every once in a while to something quite classy.

This is a piece by Werm, one of the most regular and prolific graffiti writers in Bristol. The letters have been reduced in height from his normal proportions, and are nicely designed to fit into this low space. |There is a winning colour combination of red and lime green going on here, with some nice darker green lines, adding perspective and seven starbursts to finish. Nice work from Werm.

Closure for victims

long-awaited sentencing

can we rest at ease

  • today, after four years of waiting, trial and verdict, we will find out what sentence will be handed out to a man who defrauded us (and 46 other victims) in 2021. It will be on the local news, for which I was interviewed. We are getting ready to go to crown court in Bristol as I write.

I wouldn’t want you to think that I had forgotten all about Scrapy. It feels like a while since I last posted any of his work. This is a quick one by the artist in the pathway behind the Black Swan pub.

I like the way that Scrapy has worked the piece into the space available on the wall, between the flat and lumpy texture. I have quite a lot of unpublished Scrapy pieces, and might have to do a bit of a mini-gallery to catch up.

7356. Peel Street Green (56)

After a couple of very busy days in London, and returning to Bristol late last night, we had a lie in thin morning, the likes of which we haven’t had for many years. What that means of course is that I have to write today’s posts in record time because we have a ton of pre-Christmas jobs to do today.

Seed, Peel Street Green, Bristol, December 2025

Seed is working really hard to make his mark on the graffiti writing scene. He has hooked up with Asre and Zinso, who will be able to guide him and teach him a few tricks along the way. I have met him only once, but his ambition and desire to improve were clear. This is a rather nice piece with large overlapping letters in a combination of greens. The lower part, I think has incorporated the artwork of the previous occupant of the spot, which fortunately is in complementary greens. Keep your eyes peeled for more from Seed.

More from Mage, this time his writing has a slightly softer feel to it. I have said before that the letters MAGE, in my view are a little unforgiving, although lots of straight lines and sharp edges. By incorporating a lower case ‘a’ and ‘e’ Mage has managed to smooth out some of the lines.

The two tone pink letters are bordered with a brown drop shadow, and you will know my feelings about brown by now, so possibly another colour would have been my preference. Mage has been a busy boy this autumn.

Posh, St Werburghs, Bristol, November 2025

Another amazing piece of detailed sketchy writing from Posh, this time as part of the Minto Birthday paint jam. Once again, I can see letter shapes here, but really struggle to be able to read them. I could assume that they might say Posh, but Who knows?

There are some nice earthy colours in this piece, but it is the sketchy scribbles and details that mark this out as a Posh piece. Nice script shout-outs to Minto and Ticks. I expect to see more of these in the new year.

I managed to sneak another trip underneath the M32 recently and picked up a couple more pictures of work by Sketch, which I might have missed last time. I haven’t seen his work anywhere else in Bristol. We really need to get this boy out and about so that more people can admire his modernist work.

Sketch, Frome Side, Bristol, December 2025

The bright and vibrant piece owes a lot to the inspiring surrealist and cubist movements, with features being spread around the face in an abstract fashion. I love these creative pieces that combine spray-painting with art movements in a brave and exciting way. More please.

Wispa and Jody, Cumberland Basin, Bristol, November 2025

I was lucky enough to be present when this piece was being painted, but stupid enough not to say hello to one of the artists. I had been chatting for a while with Esme Lower who was painting next to this piece, and needed to get back home, so said a quick hello to Jody and unfortunately didn’t talk to the lady who was painting with him as I didn’t recognise her and had to dash. What an idiot – it wasn’t until I returned to the piece that I was realised I had been standing in the presence of the brilliant Wispa. Note to self – always say hello if you get a chance.

Jody and Wispa have painted this wonderful combination piece, with the letters W_SPA from Wispa and the masked character by Jody.  I don’t know who the character is, but the metallic shine to the mask and helmet is superb. Wispa’s letters are, as ever, immaculate. Next time I’ll make sure I say hello.

More from the Minto birthday paint jam, this time from Noise, and what very classy piece of writing it is too. I think I can safely say that this is the best attended birthday paint jam I have seen in Bristol, with both walls of the tunnel occupied.

Noise, St Werburghs, Bristol, November 2025

Noise has used the tried and tested combination of gold (yellow) and red, and fancied up his letters a bit, and slimmed them down fractionally too. I like the ‘wire fence’ effect around the outside of the piece, not something I have seen before – most original.
