523. Raleigh Road (4)
The second of two recent works by Voyder, following on from my previous post. This is a highly accomplished piece that on first inspection looks like a giant sticker that has a couple of kinks and tears in it, but take a closer look and it is just an illusion, the whole piece is sprayed.
I love this amazing attention to detail and deception, this really is a very clever piece, and demonstrates the versatility of Voyder. The work sits comfortably alongside Deamze on one side and a Beastie and Decay collaboration on the other. Both to follow soon.
I have to keep checking this piece to look at how Voyder has sprayed the crease. It really is masterful and creative. One of the best.
522. M32 Roundabout, J3 (24)
This is the first of two recent works by Voyder that mark him out as one of the truly outstanding graffiti writers in Bristol. This piece of writing, set to his typical hand-writing style, shows off his incredible use of colours, providing an effect that makes the whole thing look like it is illuminated.
I have said before when writing about Voyder that it is great to see his work in an accessible setting, as many of his grand pieces are sprayed in derelict buildings where one requires more guts than I have to enter such places. I love this work.
521. Wapping Wharf (1)
Wapping Wharf is a new Harbourside development in Bristol that includes residential flats and some rather upmarket restaurants and food outlets. At one end there is a rather unusual block of ‘container’ shops and cafes called @cargo. It would appear that at one end of this block there is a public art space, and the first piece to be displayed there is this beautiful work by Gemma Compton.

520. Partition Street (2)
It has been a long while since I saw anything new from Silent Hobo, and this one is mercifully close to where I work, so taking a look is a daily occurrence. This will actually be the first of two posts on this piece, as it is unfinished in these pictures, and was completed about a week later.
Look out for the update when this character will be joined by his posse.

519. Dean Lane skate park (27)
It would appear that Mr Draws has recently had an epiphany. The master of drawing mountains has started to do some writing, which is all rather exciting really. I have seen several of his new pieces in the Stokes Croft area, and this one in Dean Lane is rather good.
I enjoy his selection of colours and the block capitals. Turning the A upside down seems to work really well. Adding this new dimension to his portfolio can only be a really good thing. I wonder where this adventure will take him. I note it has recently taken him to Leake Street in London.
