7381. M32 Spot (213)
There is a little corner of the M32 Spot where some new, small hoardings have been erected and Hypo, painting with Posh and Kool Hand wasted no time in decorating them.
This is a smaller piece than I am used to seeing from Hypo, but it contains many of the elements of his developing style, in particular a liberal sprinkling of small spheres reflecting the main five colours of the letter fills. Nice shout-outs to Ticks RIP and Minto. Fun under the M32.
7380. Peel Street Green (57)
The Peel Street Green spot is a funny one. Sometimes it can go for weeks without any refreshes, and other times it can change every few days. It is one of those places that I need to visit regularly just in case, it is also quite a nice walk with the dog alongside the River Frome.
This piece by Bbygwya (AKA – Lux, Luxe, Flux) was part of a birthday paint jam for Roma I think. The letters LUXIE are nicely presented, with some great fading in her fill work of pinks and greys. Her letters are given a lift with some white highlights and white corner spots. Altogether a nice piece of graffiti writing from Lux.

7379. BB Gallery (10)
Having seen an Instagram post by Conrico, I knew that there was some new work in the BB Gallery a week or two back, so I immediately hot-footed it over there to take a look. I was doubly rewarded, not only to find the Conrico piece (coming soon) but also to find this superb character cat by Daz Cat.
The bright cat person is wonderfully illustrated with lots of colour and detail, I particularly like the peace sign made with her right hand. There is an optimism and joy about the piece which I hope is a signal for a great year to come for Daz Cat and for us all.

Happy New Year. I have a feeling that 2026 is going to be a better year, I hope I am right. I was walking to my favourite Italian delicatessen a couple of weeks back and bumped into Ryder, who had just completed a window painting to celebrate the birthday of Dom Majors Studio.
The retro cartoon style cat is eye-catching and although painted for the celebration party, is still proudly displayed in the window. I have a feeling that Ryder also sprayed some paint on the bench outside, and was a little concerned that people might be sitting on it before the paint was dry. A different kind of piece from Ryder, who I always enjoy chatting to.

7377. M32 Cycle path (302)
There are a few writers who stick to their letters and work on improving them from piece to piece, this being one of them. This might be the best I have seen so far from Roma, which was painted alongside Bbygwya (Luxe/Flux).
The turquoise, blue and black colours work well together in this piece and the steady drop shadow in white contrasts nicely. A light blue plasma streak runs through all the letters, giving off a bit of a glow, which adds interest to the whole idea. Some scribbled butterflies finish the piece off nicely. All good work from Roma.

2025 has been an outstanding year for Bloem and Sub, with both artists making great strides forward with their work. In particular, Sub’s steady progress is beginning to bear fruit as he introduces more ideas into his letters, particularly with his fills.
I have always felt that Sub’s letters were a little over large, but now that he is being more creative with his fill patterns, the space lends itself to something quite grand, like this repeating black and white pattern. This must have taken a while to complete freehand, but it was certainly worth the bother. A deep 3D drop shadow in dark red sets the piece off beautifully.
In the middle of the two pieces is a wonderful character piece of Betty Boop, skilfully and faithfully reproduced by the pair. I have a feeling that both artists were involved in the creation of this character. It is not the first time that Betty Boop has appeared in Natural Adventures (see below).
Bloem continues with her outstanding work, and this Burberry check piece is simply brilliant. The letters spell out BLOEM, and the check design flows beautifully through the piece, swishing in all directions. I love the red smily face and strap handle. This is a supremely well crafted piece and a wonderful collaboration. Bravo!
