7580. Mina Road (16)

Nice One, Mina Road, Bristol, March 2026

When I drove past this piece for the first time, I performed a monumental double-take. One of those ones when you lose control of your driving for a split second, before pulling yourself together. Such is the power and allure of Nice One’s landscapes.

Nice One has successfully brought edgy fine art to our streets. He isn’t an artist who falls for the trappings of high-end commissions, but expresses himself freely and without conditions. There are so many influences that I can see in this dreamy landscape such as Cezanne. The piece is beautifully balanced with wildflowers in the foreground on the left, and a village clinging to the hillside on the right, with a river valley running through the middle. The piece is given additional drama with a lively sky overhead. A truly excellent piece by Nice One. Bravo!

7579. L Dub (86)

It would appear that Hire prefers writing the letters ODIAH to HIRE these days and he has also changed his Instagram handle, perhaps reflecting a transition of his persona. This is a beauty painted at L Dub, in the open section of the long tunnel

The letters are very nicely constructed and filled with minimal green and black colours that contrast with the lower drop shadow. The curiosity of this piece, quite literally, is the addition of dozens of question marks scattered around the black background. It is always a pleasure finding Hire’s work.

7578. M32 roundabout J3 (760)

Conrico, M32 roundabout, Bristol, March 2026

I have already said several times this year that Conrico is on fire, and with this piece he continues to confirm my assertion. I believe that this gorgeous landscape piece was painted as part of a collaboration paint jam to celebrate Kid Crayon’s birthday.

There is a calmness about this view, and a sense of early spring created by the presence of meadow flowers and tree blossom, most likely reflecting a Japanese landscape, with a small hut or temple in the foreground. The brush-stroke quality of the piece which has a little bit of Monet about it. Superb work from Conrico.

7577. M32 Spot (220)

Stivs is an incredibly talented artist who is as comfortable painting his character pieces as he is with his calligraffiti. His has been producing pieces at a steady pace over the past few months, but I haven’t bumped into him for a long while… maybe our clocks are on a different plane.

Tucked away in a corner of the DIY skate park underneath the M32, this piece is a classic bit of Stivs Calligraffiti writing. The letters are beautifully presented with a perfect midline providing depth to the letters. There are four shades of pink in the letters for the top, bottom, left and right elevations, which leaves us with a 3D effect, as if the letters are standing out from the hoarding. Skilful work.

7576. Brunel Way (353)

Creamylines, Brunel Way, Bristol, March 2026

As pieces go, this one by Creamylines, is on the small side. It is painted on a column under Brunel Way, but even at this size it packs quite a punch. 2026 has definitely been a bumper year so far from Creamylines, who appears to have come out of his shell a bit, and is painting new character pieces as well as his ‘stained-glass’ effect pieces like this one in more places around the city.

Everything that is fun about Creamylines’ work is crammed into this small space; the sun, the birds, figures, hills, trees and eyes. It is all here squished together into a coherent landscape. Such wonderful and uplifting work.

7575. M32 roundabout J3 (759)

RBN One, M32 roundabout, Bristol, March 2026

I was lucky enough to meet RBN One while he was painting this piece alongside Corupt. I couldn’t recall seeing his work before, but it turns out on closer inspection of my archives that I have seen his work, but never posted it because I didn’t know who he was. RBN One hails from the Chippenham area if I remember correctly, and comes to Bristol every once in a while.

The letters spell ‘ARBIEN’ – spoken phonetically as RBN… clever stuff. The whole thing is quite beautiful. His letters are clean and clear, filled with a variety of spots, shapes and lines. His drop shadow is flawless, and serves to lift the piece from the wall. All in all a feast for the eyes. Expect to see more here soon.

7574. L Dub (85)

I have a feeling that this piece by Veks, spelling ‘MUM’, might have been painted on or around St Patrick’s Day, although I can’t be sure. I rather like these personal tribute pieces to family and friends, they show a certain amount of love and respect which is a very good thing indeed.

The letters are beautifully presented and filled with the colours of the Irish tricolour. A superb drop shadow, subtly striped, is bounded by a light orange border. Some finishing touches of shamrocks around the outside of the piece are accompanied by a couple of butterflies. Great stuff from Veks.

7573. Henrietta Street

Esme Lower, Henrietta Street, Bristol, March 2026

I love the crossover that one gets to see between the professional muralist/artist that gets paid for commissions, and the same artist painting the streets for pleasure. Esme Lower is one of those artists who seems to span these worlds with ease, and this 9is one of her commissions in the heart of Easton.

This mural is at the entrance of the Bristol Sweet Mart, the largest supplier of ethnic foods in the southwest of England. Esme Lower’s piece features some of the herbs and spices that the outlet is well-known for, and somehow captures the south Asian vibe really well. It was an unexpected pleasure coming across this piece on a recent stroll in Easton.

7572. Cumberland Basin

Werm, Cumberland Basin, Bristol, March 2026

It feels like Werm has stepped up a level recently. His work has always been technically sound, and he has always been up for adjusting his style from time to time, but there is something about his presentation and confidence that has gone up a level.

This is a super piece, which looks on the surface to be a ‘simple’ piece, probably because of it’s clean and tidy appearance. It takes a huge amount of talent and experience to create a piece like this. The symmetry of the letters is very well worked, and the seamless wavy pattern of fills, appears effortless, but is really tricky. There is a nice stripy drop shadow, and a touch of green decoration around the outside. The piece looks extra excellent because it is painted on a cleanly buffed wall. Really great stuff here from Werm.

7571. M32 roundabout J2 (16)

John D'oh, M32 roundabout J2, Bristol, March 2026 — John D’oh, M32 roundabout J2, Bristol, March 2026

Another column piece from the John D’oh gallery of stencils underneath the M32. The artist has certainly made himself at home here, and I note from his Instagram account that he has been busy down there again recently.

This simple piece features a rather stereotyped curvaceous woman holding a book and tilting her glasses. The caption says ‘love is like street art, sometimes it doesn’t last long’, which I guess can be true, there is also an additional view that might take the position ‘love is like street art, sometimes it lasts forever’. Yet more to come from this rich seam of John D’oh gold.
