Time of sad slumber
where dreams offer comfort and
relief; growing up.

The walk
On cobbled stones and
across the New Cut; the sun-
drenched streets of Bristol.

Here is a lovely clean piece by another member of the PWA crew, following on from the Face F1st work that I posted a few days ago.
This fine double-mouthed creature is typical of Soap’s work. Beyond that I can really tell you nothing about the artist. Sometimes it is better like that.
I’m not sure who the alien ZAP figure (to the right) is by, but you can see there is quite a gap in quality between them. I like soap’s work, I just don’t get to see enough of it.

Millipede
Not so fast matey
a thousand legs is quite some

Following on seamlessly from from post 165 you can see that the PRSC outdoor gallery in now occupied by Soker and 3Dom.
There is a lovely thread of vapour that joins the two pieces coming from the mouth of the curious 3Dom creature on the right (when ever was a 3Dom piece not curious?) and weaving around the Soker burner.
I love these collaborations that bring together wildstyle burners with more conventional art pieces – more will follow.

165. Jamaica Street (3)
Jamaica Street is home to the People’s Republic of Stokes Croft (PRSC) outdoor gallery. To anyone who walks around this area, this wall is a regular stop off point. This wonderful wildstyle burner is by DNT and partners the bear by Mr Sle7en that I featured recently.
The whole piece spells out ‘Bristol’ and uses the fabulous colours to bring out the design. This piece always cheered me up in the mornings on my way to work, and supports the theories that say that street art brings about a sense of civic pride and coherence. It is certainly the case in Bristol.
The piece has now gone and been replaced by a collaboration between Soker and 3Dom – see my next post.

Anyone who reads this blog regularly will know that I have a real soft spot for Face F1st. Part of the PWA crew (Pirate Wall Art), Face F1st’s pieces are always low-key and often tucked away.
What I like about this piece is the calming image and simplicity in the artwork. Nothing flashy, but a pleasing end result. I have posted another Face f1st piece here.

Just writing my name
This wall is probably the most over-painted practice wall in Bristol.For any pieces to last here, they have to be pretty good. This brilliant and colourful work by Deamze remained intact and untagged for a long while, but like all good things it has now gone.
It is impossible not to like this and other works by Deamze – his lines are so sharp and his colours always work in complete harmony with the lettering and characters.
