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.
Surviving Christmas
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.
523. Raleigh Road (4)
The second of two recent works by Voyder, following on from my previous post. This is a highly accomplished piece that on first inspection looks like a giant sticker that has a couple of kinks and tears in it, but take a closer look and it is just an illusion, the whole piece is sprayed.
I love this amazing attention to detail and deception, this really is a very clever piece, and demonstrates the versatility of Voyder. The work sits comfortably alongside Deamze on one side and a Beastie and Decay collaboration on the other. Both to follow soon.
I have to keep checking this piece to look at how Voyder has sprayed the crease. It really is masterful and creative. One of the best.
522. M32 Roundabout, J3 (24)
This is the first of two recent works by Voyder that mark him out as one of the truly outstanding graffiti writers in Bristol. This piece of writing, set to his typical hand-writing style, shows off his incredible use of colours, providing an effect that makes the whole thing look like it is illuminated.
I have said before when writing about Voyder that it is great to see his work in an accessible setting, as many of his grand pieces are sprayed in derelict buildings where one requires more guts than I have to enter such places. I love this work.
521. Wapping Wharf (1)
Wapping Wharf is a new Harbourside development in Bristol that includes residential flats and some rather upmarket restaurants and food outlets. At one end there is a rather unusual block of ‘container’ shops and cafes called @cargo. It would appear that at one end of this block there is a public art space, and the first piece to be displayed there is this beautiful work by Gemma Compton.
520. Partition Street (2)
It has been a long while since I saw anything new from Silent Hobo, and this one is mercifully close to where I work, so taking a look is a daily occurrence. This will actually be the first of two posts on this piece, as it is unfinished in these pictures, and was completed about a week later.
Look out for the update when this character will be joined by his posse.
