With the turnover of pieces being rather slow this year, I have a quick opportunity to rifle through my archive, and this is a delightful piece by Umbral and Dai Luk painted at a Bristol Mural Collective paint jam in Lucky Lane last September.

The slightly fierce looking stylised calico cat is notable for its long curly tail. The piece is set on a blue background with a blue pattern running behind and in front of the cat. This is what I would term a true collaboration, where both artists have combined their skills to create the single piece. The calico cat is spinning its luck, but isn’t what I’d call a calico cat – but I am splitting hairs. Great shutter collaboration.
