Logoe and Mamil visited Bristol a few weeks back and decorated several spots with their script writing, including this beauty in Dean Lane. Unfortunately, in their enthusiasm, they painted over a tribute piece for Dorns, which upset a few people in the local graffiti community. This wall, however, was up for grabs and the pair did a great job.
I have been an admirer of Logoe’s work for several years, and he has developed his script writing into a serious art form. Set on a stripy wall, the letters spell out LOGOE as if they were written with joined-up writing on a page, with the addition of a deep drop shadow. His trademark oval spots complete the piece nicely.
This trip with Logoe is the first time that I have encountered Mamil, and I have to say I rather like his clean skinny letter style. The two circular forms at each end of his letters add so much to the structure and flow of the piece, without which the writing could be quite ordinary. You might be able to make out the shape of a bicycle, which is a clever way to present your letters. The style is easy on the eye. Great collaboration from the pair.
As I mentioned before, though, two other collaborations that Logoe and Mamil painted on their trip were tagged/dogged before I encountered them. It is a pity that ‘respect wars’ like this break out, but there is little I can do to help, and have to observe as an onlooker. The images below show you what happens if you disrespect a tribute piece…
