I don’t venture to Devon Road very often, but the irregular visits I make are pretty much always worth it. On my most recent visit, I found this interesting design piece by Rozalita (Rhozi). The black and white bull’s head on a red background has a bilateral symmetry, and more than just a passing resemblance to the Pizza Express logo (without the horns and ears).

Unfortunately, it was raining when I took the pictures and I hadn’t noticed a raindrop on my lens until I was saving the photographs onto my computer – it is an occupational hazard, but one I should be more careful with. I think I might just about have got away with it. The character above the bull’s head is the chinese character for bull, and is used in the Chinese zodiac, which is what this piece is about I am guessing. Lovely work and something a little different from Rozalita.

This is a rather lovely recent piece from Andy Council to celebrate the Chinese New Year and the year of the Rooster. The colours are fantastic and he has created a special Chinese take on the Clifton suspension bridge – a nice touch.

The piece is not very far away from the turkey that he sprayed back in November. Andy Council is probably one of the most well known street artists in Bristol, as he combines his pleasure spraying with all sorts of design commissions in the city. A popular artist who is at the heart of the Bristol street art movement.
