Turnover underneath the Brunel Way flyover has been relatively slow in recent months, and I have reduced my visits slightly to reflect this. The last time I passed by though, I was delighted to find these three distinctive bats on separate columns by Rowdy.

If there was one artist in Bristol who represents the beating heart of the city’s street art scene, it would, in my view, be Rowdy. His crudely painted animal characters can be found all over the city, and some have been around for years.

These three bats are full of mischief and character, and so utterly unmistakable as the work of Rowdy. Rowdy is an artist I haven’t yet met, which is a pity, but perhaps I’ll get lucky sometime and find myself in the right place at the right time.

Having seen an Instagram post by Conrico, I knew that there was some new work in the BB Gallery a week or two back, so I immediately hot-footed it over there to take a look. I was doubly rewarded, not only to find the Conrico piece (coming soon) but also to find this superb character cat by Daz Cat.

The bright cat person is wonderfully illustrated with lots of colour and detail, I particularly like the peace sign made with her right hand. There is an optimism and joy about the piece which I hope is a signal for a great year to come for Daz Cat and for us all.

Happy New Year. I have a feeling that 2026 is going to be a better year, I hope I am right. I was walking to my favourite Italian delicatessen a couple of weeks back and bumped into Ryder, who had just completed a window painting to celebrate the birthday of Dom Majors Studio.

The retro cartoon style cat is eye-catching and although painted for the celebration party, is still proudly displayed in the window. I have a feeling that Ryder also sprayed some paint on the bench outside, and was a little concerned that people might be sitting on it before the paint was dry. A different kind of piece from Ryder, who I always enjoy chatting to.

I am very fond of this little wall beside the river. It is all that remains of a small disused pump house or something, linked to the water company pumping station nearby. This piece, by Guimeujoven, has remained in my archive since July, because I couldn’t identify the artist. Thanks to Paul H, who did the detective work on this one, I now know the artist and am free to post the piece.

This is a really nice character piece worked up in four autumnal colours and so different from the kind of character pieces we are used to seeing in Bristol. The Brazilian artist is based in Exeter and I am somewhat surprised that we haven’t seen more of his work here, and a little saddened, because it is absolutely amazing… a quick glance at his Instagram feed is highly recommended. A mystery solved.

It somehow feels right to be celebrating Christmas Eve with this uplifting piece from Creamylines. The artist has had a great year and finding this piece on a rare visit to the Bristol to Bath cycle path gallery felt right and proper.

The piece is larger and wider than most of his other pieces, but contains all the usual themes, ideas and style. The introduction of a character to the top right of the piece could indicate an additional direction for Creamylines, although his work is so unique, I don’t think it needs to change for the sake of it.

I wouldn’t want you to think that I had forgotten all about Scrapy. It feels like a while since I last posted any of his work. This is a quick one by the artist in the pathway behind the Black Swan pub.

I like the way that Scrapy has worked the piece into the space available on the wall, between the flat and lumpy texture. I have quite a lot of unpublished Scrapy pieces, and might have to do a bit of a mini-gallery to catch up.

I was lucky enough to be present when this piece was being painted, but stupid enough not to say hello to one of the artists. I had been chatting for a while with Esme Lower who was painting next to this piece, and needed to get back home, so said a quick hello to Jody and unfortunately didn’t talk to the lady who was painting with him as I didn’t recognise her and had to dash. What an idiot – it wasn’t until I returned to the piece that I was realised I had been standing in the presence of the brilliant Wispa. Note to self – always say hello if you get a chance.

Jody and Wispa have painted this wonderful combination piece, with the letters W_SPA from Wispa and the masked character by Jody.  I don’t know who the character is, but the metallic shine to the mask and helmet is superb. Wispa’s letters are, as ever, immaculate. Next time I’ll make sure I say hello.

I am really impressed that Face 1st has kept up with his intention to visit Bristol from time to time after his move to Herefordshire last year. I guess he knows he can paint freely in Bristol, and he probably has plenty of friends here to visit.

This is a rather unusual combination piece from Face 1st and Zake, featuring some fancy ‘gold’ letters by Face 1st with an incredibly deep drop shadow, and a (satanic) portrait piece in the middle by Zake. Set on a fiery background, there is a hint that this might have been a Halloween piece, but I am not too sure. Some nice shout-outs to Soap and Chill from the PWA crew.

Now it is the turn of The Art of Sok to celebrate Minto’s birthday with this outstanding piece in the tunnel. The Art of Sok is one of the best cartoon-style character artists out there, creating near-perfection with each piece he paints.

I am guessing that the character in this piece is a werewolf, given that there was a Halloween theme happening in this paint jam, and he has a full moon on the back of his jacket. The cheeky character is holding a thick marker pen and appears to be having a lot of fun. Behind is a wonderful silhouetted spooky landscape, which ran through several pieces on this side of the wall. Beautiful artwork and a fun design.
