I haven’t seen much from Ugar recently other than this chrome piece at Dean Lane. I like the way that writers are constantly practicing and refining their lettering and details.
I have only met Ugar one time, and it was in this exact spot, I think that he favours the relative safety of spraying at Dean Lane. I have seen his work at The Bearpit, but only collaborations with Kid Crayon.
This is the third piece I have posted by KiKi? but I am still none the wiser about who the artist is nor indeed if they are actually called KiKi, I mean from this work it might even be Steven.
A sea monster probably, which reminds me in style a little of Norse carvings. There is something naive about the piece, but technically is is very nicely finished. I am on a mission to discover more about KiKi.

A nice chrome piece from Cort in Dean Lane and one that incorporates an interesting decoration in the middle, the black lines with circles at the end, which reminds me of the work of the magnificent Joan Miro.
When I see Cort pieces, I am alwaus on the look out for Laic217, as they often paint together, but not on this occasion. I know little about the artist, but he seems to be a little overlooked on the scene, in spite of some really terrific work.

You wait for ages to see a piece by Mr Klue, and then two come along at once. I love the style that Mr Klue uses, both his colour selections which are often in these blues and purples and his abstract style.
I think that this piece is also a very clever bit of writing, although I might be reading too much into it. I think that I can make out the letters KLUE, but it might just be wishful thinking.
Run Z is a Bristol abstract artist that I have not yet had the fortune to run in to yet and one about whom I know very little. His pieces are very distinct, using bright colours and organic patterns that swirl across the wall.
We are lucky in Bristol to have several specialists in abstract street art like Run Z and I think it all adds to the overall complexion and variety of the Bristol street art scene. I’m on a mission to hunt down more of his work.

Tireless and irrepressible, words I am sure I have used to describe Mr Draws in the past. His habit must cost him an absolute fortune in paint. Until I had a go myself, I hadn’t realised how much paint one can get through to cover quite a small area of wall.
This quick one in the Bearpit has an interesting ‘bleed’ from the shadow into the letters, giving it the effect of degrading in front of our eyes. More to come from Mr Draws, before he moves to Germany.
The unmistakable seismic tag of Jee See. This is just a quick one in Dean Lane skate park. I am interested in this tag, because he uses different 3d skadows for divverent letters, so the SEI shadow downwards, the SMI shadow to the right and the C shadows upwards, which makes for an interesting perspective. Helpful to me to in learning how to work these shadows.
I understand the Jee See used to be a teacher, so there is really nothing to stop me picking up a can and getting busy. I get inspiration from artists like Jee See who find spots around the city and practice their work.
