531. M32 roundabout, J3 (25)
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.
530. Gathorne Road (1)
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.
529. Dean Lane skate park (29)
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.

527. Moon Street (16)
This is one of the best walls in Moon Street (Stokes Croat even). It stands out, is a great size, and allows only for one piece at a time, giving the artist space to frame the piece nicely. Mr Klue is, I would suggest, the best abstract street artist in Bristol – instantly recognisable and very easy on the eye.
526. St Werburghs tunnel (3)
I have been holding back from posting these pictures, because although the collaboration between Kid Crayon and SPZero76 is magnificent, the photographs are pants. I have manipulated the light a little bit, but the colours simply don’t do the piece justice. The flash, used in one of the pictures simply bleaches the colours. All a bit rubbish and it exposes me as a non-photographer.
The composition is just crazy, characters firing water pistols at each other from flying cardboard boxes. Where did that idea come from? The styles of these two artists are quite contrasting, but the end result works really well.
Who is the lady and who is the bulldog in SPZero’s half of this collab? This is a really fun piece, long since gone. I have to say at this point that Kid Crayon really is one of my favourite Bristol artists, and finding his work anywhere is a real treat for me. To find it together with the great SPZero76 makes it just that little bit more special.

Christmas cheer, not here;
children break for holidays…
Christmas booze more like.

*Not really – pretty excited about it all. Just wanted to have some fun with words.
524. North Street, Standard (3)
It would appear that the wonderful Hannah Adamaszek recently paid a visit to Bristol and left us with this beautiful portrait on North Street. The colours and earthy tones are typical of her amazing work, and the face is calmness itself.
