8003. Cumberland Basin

This is another stunning piece from my archives that missed out on being posted last year and which I am pleased to be posting now, albeit very late. It is a great piece of writing by RBN One, which was painted as part of a wider paint jam.

White backgrounds are quite unusual for writers, so it is important to work with it rather than against it, and RBN One has done that perfectly with this grey and white lettering, nicely defined with a black border and stripy drop shadow. The orange fiery ribbon around the outside of the letters acts as a good separator between the writing and the white wall. A beautifully worked and presented piece.

Every now and then I like to delve into my archives and unearth pieces that for one reason or another never made it into the pages of Natural Adventures first time round. I have thousands of pictures of such pieces, and it always saddens me that they don’t all make the cut. This is a piece from a year ago by Mr B, an artist who hovers just at the edge of my radar.

There are a lot of hoardings in this area, but not too many non-commission pieces painted on them. This combination features a bird, I think a crow, and some rather good writing spelling MrB. A good piece and one that alerted me to the artist’s presence. I’ll be keeping an eye out for his work and indeed have another one lined up in a week or two.

Logoe has been back in town recently and produced a couple of outstanding pieces. Nobody does script graffiti writing quite as well as Logoe does and this piece on the roundabout is a beauty.

The main fill of the lettering is a gorgeous metallic copper which sits alongside a deep red drop shadow, which sets the whole piece off in the right direction. There is a rhythm and flow to the piece which is so easy on the eye. The scattering of spots adds life and interest. A supreme example of logoe’s work.

Fade, Cumberland Basin, Bristol, October 2026

Eight thousand street art and graffiti posts, and still going strong. This was never planned, I just kind of fell into it. I haven’t lost my appetite for documenting the amazing street art culture in Bristol, and only occasionally don’t feel like writing a blog post – most of the time it is and has been a great pleasure and privilege. It seems appropriate that Fade, one of the Natural Adventures regulars, should feature today.

This is a super-tidy piece by Fade, his letters designed and filled to perfection, with a great pink drop shadow and yellow border. The purple and pink background has a bit of a lava lamp look to it – something quite retro. A fine piece painted alongside Peggy and Jody.

There is an awful lot to admire in this paint jam piece by Vikoi, which depicts a couple of robots getting to grips with the concept of giving and receiving flowers. It is na comical piece and importantly features a four leaf clover – buying into the luck theme.

I have seen a couple of pieces in Dean Lane by Vikoi and really need to dig them out and post them (note to self… get on with it!). There is something very charming about this piece which is one of my favourites from the paint jam on Lucky Lane.

Not feeling great this morning so this will be a quickie. A wonderful pink-letterd piece by RBN One painted alongside his often collaborator, Corupt.

Great letters, lovely drop shadow and superb background. An all-round fine piece of graffiti writing.

7997. Dean Lane skate park (951)

Dibz and Jenks, Dean Lane, Bristol, October 2026
Dibz and Jenks, Dean Lane, Bristol, October 2026

This is an outstanding collaboration from Dibz and visiting artist Jenks. I understand from reading Jenks’ Instagram post that this is their take on the Big Pun, Capital Punishment album cover (not something I would have known – being ignorant of such things). The writing is by Dibz and the portrait by Jenks.

I have a feeling that this piece might have been painted on the same day as the large Street Fighters piece I posted yesterday. The portrait is a skilled piece of work and a faithful reprodiction of the album, and of course Dibz’ writing says tthe words ‘capital punishment’ in his own stunning style. You can see what the album cover actually looks like below.

This is a wonderful piece in Lucky Lane, which I understand might have been painted for World Women’s Day in March this year, and not part of the Bristol Mural Collective paint jam. It is a collaboration between Amy Lee Jones and Emma Char and really rather special.

It is hard to know how the collaboration was divided up between the artisrts, but I would guess one of them took care of the portraits and the other the patterns on the clothing and the writing. It is a very calming piece and a fabulous celebration of women by women. The words ‘Like other women’ can have several meanings, which is a clever touch.

Minto, Cumberland Basin, Bristol, September 2026

I would suggest that over the last year or so, Minto has had the most productive and high-profile period since his return to Bristol. Barely a week goes by without one of his deconstructed, elemental pieces appearing on some wall somewhere.

Minto has recently taken rather a liking to using a black backdrop for his pieces, perhaps because it helps to pick out each of the little components that make up his letters MINTO. This is a very busy piece with so much going on, and so many colours and shapes, all of which contribute brilliantly to the whole. Fine work from Minto.
