7384. M32 roundabout J3 (734)

Mage, M32 roundabout, Bristol, December 2025

Really quick ones today. I am unexpectedly dropping my son and a friend off at Heathrow this morning after a last minute change of plans, so am very short of time to write posts. This is a rather nice one from Mage on the roundabout.

Mage has had an incredible 2025, and his work can be seen absolutely everywhere in Bristol. It seems as if he is on a mission. The quality of his work is variable, but his energy and enthusiasm unmatched. This is a bit of a beauty, with his angular letter shapes, but those fills are to die for. Excellent stuff.

7383. Montpelier Park

Butch, Montpelier Park, Bristol, December 2025

Tucked away in the corner of Montpelier Park is a wall that is well worth a look every once in a while. At the moment, it is occupied by Butch alongside some graffiti writing by Beer.

I have always said that there is something about the letter shapes and the way that Butch overlaps them that I find most attractive, I can’t put my finger on it, but it works for me. The letters are filled with horizontal layers of blue tones and a royal blue drop shadow. Somehow this blue aggregation works really well against the predominantly red noisy graffiti background, which isn’t always the case when painting messy walls. A nice way for Butch to round off 2025.

7382. Dean Lane skate park (892)

During the second half of last year, I thoroughly enjoyed witnessing the coming together of Asre and Zinso, which felt like a perfect match in terms of writing styles. Asre has had a great year, producing no end of graffiti writing pieces and thrown in a few characters too along the way.

This is a modest piece on the wall of the Dean Lane swimming pool which includes shout-outs to his graffiti friends. The nicely designed letters are filled with four horizontally laid out shades of blue, with some reversing-out of bubbles between layers. Buffing out the wall might have helped with shutting out the noise from around the piece, but it actually is fine as it is. Looking forward to lots more in 2026.

7381. M32 Spot (213)

There is a little corner of the M32 Spot where some new, small hoardings have been erected and Hypo, painting with Posh and Kool Hand wasted no time in decorating them.

This is a smaller piece than I am used to seeing from Hypo, but it contains many of the elements of his developing style, in particular a liberal sprinkling of small spheres reflecting the main five colours of the letter fills. Nice shout-outs to Ticks RIP and Minto. Fun under the M32.

7380. Peel Street Green (57)

Bbygwya, Peel Street Green, Bristol, December 2025

The Peel Street Green spot is a funny one. Sometimes it can go for weeks without any refreshes, and other times it can change every few days. It is one of those places that I need to visit regularly just in case, it is also quite a nice walk with the dog alongside the River Frome.

This piece by Bbygwya (AKA – Lux, Luxe, Flux) was part of a birthday paint jam for Roma I think. The letters LUXIE are nicely presented, with some great fading in her fill work of pinks and greys. Her letters are given a lift with some white highlights and white corner spots. Altogether a nice piece of graffiti writing from Lux.

7379. BB Gallery (10)

Daz Cat, BB Gallery, Bristol, December 2025

Having seen an Instagram post by Conrico, I knew that there was some new work in the BB Gallery a week or two back, so I immediately hot-footed it over there to take a look. I was doubly rewarded, not only to find the Conrico piece (coming soon) but also to find this superb character cat by Daz Cat.

The bright cat person is wonderfully illustrated with lots of colour and detail, I particularly like the peace sign made with her right hand. There is an optimism and joy about the piece which I hope is a signal for a great year to come for Daz Cat and for us all.

7378. Cheltenham Road

Ryder, Cheltenham Road, Bristol, December 2025

Happy New Year. I have a feeling that 2026 is going to be a better year, I hope I am right. I was walking to my favourite Italian delicatessen a couple of weeks back and bumped into Ryder, who had just completed a window painting to celebrate the birthday of Dom Majors Studio.

The retro cartoon style cat is eye-catching and although painted for the celebration party, is still proudly displayed in the window. I have a feeling that Ryder also sprayed some paint on the bench outside, and was a little concerned that people might be sitting on it before the paint was dry. A different kind of piece from Ryder, who I always enjoy chatting to.

Fresh start

It begins again

so much to look forward to

Happy New Year folks
