161. Albert Park Place (2)
Yesterday was a red-letter day for me. I must have gathered up some 50 or more new (to me) pieces around Bristol. Something has to give…either I stop taking pictures or I post more often. Whatever happens, my backlog is getting serious.
This is an absolutely outstanding piece by Sepr and Piro. I have written on many occasions about Sepr and his wonderful work, indeed his work previously adorned this wall. Piro is a bit of a mystery to me, and I am having to do a little more digging around.
Together this collaboration is almost perfect. The colours are amazing and the balance between the characters and the burner works really well.
The piece is relatively recent, I believe it was sprayed in early march, and it retains its freshness.
I absolutely love this work and I also love the location, it has a small footfall…this is a work of love.

160. Stokes Croft, The Art House
Hardly a day goes by when I don’t stop to take a quick look at this familiar and wonderful piece. It is a constant when all around it is in continual flux.
‘Dandy Lion’ is a private commission, presumably for the householder, and has commanded great respect from the tagging community over the years; it remains unscathed.
Both the lion and the mouse are delightful. You can see the care and preparation that went into the work on the Lucas Antics website.

159. Jamaica Street (2)
On the practice wall outside the People’s Republic of Stokes Croft, is a very different piece by Mr Sle7en from the one featured a couple of days ago.
This time a humorous piece, somewhat critical of middle-class activists and people, well…a bit like me I suppose. Ouch! It is very funny, and I love the bourbon biscuit. Lots of nice Bristol references, and some more Buzz tributes just to the right of the picture.

A blustery day
in a pooh bear sort of way;

158. The Bearpit (8)
It is Easter Sunday today. I wish you a happy day. This is a recent piece by the extremely prolific Tom Miller. It can be found on the south tunnel end wall of the Bearpit, which is the exact site of another of his recent works featured here.
His ‘imaginite’ concept is in full flow here, combining hard reality with soft imagination. I find his works counselling, and am always excited when I discover a new piece such as this one.
Probably more accustomed to a gallery wall, it looks like Miller really enjoys creating his street pieces.

157. Stokes Croft, the Carriageworks (5)
Slap bang next to the Tom Miller piece posted on 13 March 2016, is a striking collaboration by two Bristol street artists not yet featured on my blog, Mr. Sle7en and Klue.
I have seen works by both of them, but only recently worked out who they are. The top part, a rather typical three-eyed character is by Sle7en (Luke Sleven), who describes himself as a ‘freelance artist, illustrator, painter, muralist, aerosol alchemist, and all round artisan’. The lower part is by Klue (Klue Wone), an artist, illustrator and designer, whose wall pieces are very distinctive, with colourful angular swirls mingling to form beautiful freestyle designs.
There will be more from these two to come.
