It was when I found and photographed this lovely little collaboration between Kool Hand and Daz Cat, that I noticed a lot of water cascading down some steps directly behind me – it turns out there had been a massive water main burst and the underpasses under Brunel Way were being flooded. You can see the scale of the flooding in this short clip on my Twitter feed. By the time I got back to my parked car it was 6 inches underwater. Had I parked where I normally do (there were no spaces), the car would have been under about 2 feet of water, so I thanked my lucky stars.

The collaboration, was I suspect from the writing, a late afternoon or evening session, ‘the graveyard shift’. To the left is a baseball capped orangutan from Kool Hand, which is pretty much his trademark mega tag. To the right is a squirrel by Daz Cat, and I have to say that I am really enjoying his experimentation with so many different animals at the moment. This is a fine collaboration

There are two outstanding Calligraffiti writers in Bristol at the moment, an they are Stivs and Todoaciem. The latter has been rather quiet of late, so it was great to see this new piece by him on the M32 Cycle path.

As is customary, Todoaciem spells out in the beautifully crafted and regular letters the word CIEM. The script is outstanding and the colour transitions in the fill very nicely done. We are blessed to have such high quality calligraffiti here in Bristol.
