Think I’ll sleep on it

nothing else mattress.

This interesting piece by Deamze was most likely sprayed at the same time as this awesome work by Voyder. They often work together, and the two pieces were close to one another on the same wall.
This Deamze piece is intricate and skillfully worked and has the trademark cartoon element woven into the work. The face reminds me of one of the characters from the Beezer comic, or was it Beano…it is the top lip that does it. The Bash Street kids?
Deamze continues to delight with his work dotted around the city, although only those with their eyes open will enjoy it.

Some of the most satisfying graffiti art is often the simplest. RIP is a great example of an artist who is highly accomplished at producing multi-layer stencil canvas pieces, but is equally at home with sharp, witty street stencils like this one. RIP is from Staffordshire, but a regular visitor to Bristol where he works with other SSOSVA artists.
There are actually two RIP stencils, the lower one of which I have seen in several other places. It would appear from the writing above this work that stencils are not to everyone’s taste. I like this picture because it speaks loudly of the way street art is and the sense of anarchy (albeit benign) that surrounds it.

This is the third piece I have posted on this blog by OHMS, and one photographed way back in May. I am still none the wiser though about the artist, or group of artists that produce these fine works. Each piece is usually accompanied by a reference to the Splab Gang, which I guess is a crew. I’m sure someone will tell me more about OHMS eventually, but for now we will all be in the dark.
The pieces always feature the letters OHMS and fabulously unique filling in of the letters. What is different here is that most graffiti artists fill in the letters with solid shading to provide depth and perspective. Not OHMS…these seem to be filled in with elaborate decorations that have a flatter look to them, but are beautifully designed. There is still something mysterious about these pieces, and this is a fine example.

Your face
My memories fade

I can’t revive you.

A rather lovely simple piece on the front of Franco’s Takeaway on Rivington Street by the magnificent French street artist Thierry Noir. In this work, there are several of Thierry’s figures in bright colours looking as though they are in a queue for the takeaway shop. Intentional I’m sure.
