Mr Sce and Buser, River Avon, Bristol, May 2026

Mr Sce and Buser have collaborated before in Bristol, in pretty much this exact spot, from recollection. This time they were part of a wider paint jam which had something of a jungle theme, which has carried through into these pieces beautifully.

This blue and gold macaw, by Mr Sce is a beauty. Parrots of all types are a favourite of street artists, and when I have run out of new material to share I can do special posts featuring parrots or dogs or cats or specific cartoon characters – food for thought. Mr Sce has captured the attitude of this macaw really well, and done a great job.

Buser paints in Bristol a littler more often than Mr Sce, but still isn’t quite what I’d call a regular. This is a tidy piece of writing full of colour and surrounded by a variety of tropical plants and flowers. Very nice work indeed from the pait.

Dibz and Fade, Dean Lane, Bristol, April 2026

Dibz and fade have been knocking out collaborations with unstoppable pace recently, and I must confess it is stretching me just to be able to keep up with their activity.

This is an outstanding collaboration where both artists have contributed to the final offering. The letters spell addict, and I am guessing reflects their obsession with graffiti writing. A stunning fill and cosmic background show off their talent perfectly.

Hire and Zake, Dean Lane, Bristol, April 2026

This is a rather fun collaboration between Hire and Zake in Dean Lane. I can’t remember if these two have collaborated before, they probably have, but this is still a bit of a treat from the writer and the character artist.

On the left, Hire has written his letters in a rather compact block, which is quite unusual, as he typically spreads his letters out a fair bit. The fills of orange and light blue have been nicely done and work surprisingly well together. A deep drop shadow is bordered with a drippy pink line with light highlights woven in.

I’m not too sure what to say about Zake’s character piece, as it is all a little bit strange. A bald man with a huge mouth and multiple teeth has a little finger puppet attached to the end of his long tongue. The puppet character, which looks like some kind of lizard monster is spraying pink ‘vomit’ over Hire’s piece, thus creating his drippy pink outline. A great read-across between the two pieces in this collaboration.

Desi and Mr Two Gram, M32 roundabout, Bristol, January 2026

Desi and Mr Two Gram are a couple who often paint together, and here is one of their recent collaborations. Their styles are quite different, and so the collaborative part of their work is limited to the fact that they paint side-by-side. To the left Desi has painted her VEIL letters presented beautifully which include her trademark heart.

To the right Mr Two Gram has painted a chrome and purple piece, which although an unlikely combination, actually works rather well. I feel that Mr Two Gram is rather underrepresented on Natural Adventures, and ought to address that. His work is often quite low-key and modest, so perhaps I don’t pick up on it as much as I might. It is always great when these two get out and paint together.

Mamil and Logoe, Dean Lane, Bristol, December 2025

Logoe and Mamil visited Bristol a few weeks back and decorated several spots with their script writing, including this beauty in Dean Lane. Unfortunately, in their enthusiasm, they painted over a tribute piece for Dorns, which upset a few people in the local graffiti community. This wall, however, was up for grabs and the pair did a great job.

Logoe, Dean Lane, Bristol, December 2025

I have been an admirer of Logoe’s work for several years, and he has developed his script writing into a serious art form. Set on a stripy wall, the letters spell out LOGOE as if they were written with joined-up writing on a page, with the addition of a deep drop shadow. His trademark oval spots complete the piece nicely.

Mamil, Dean Lane, Bristol, December 2025

This trip with Logoe is the first time that I have encountered Mamil, and I have to say I rather like his clean skinny letter style. The two circular forms at each end of his letters add so much to the structure and flow of the piece, without which the writing could be quite ordinary. You might be able to make out the shape of a bicycle, which is a clever way to present your letters. The style is easy on the eye. Great collaboration from the pair.

As I mentioned before, though, two other collaborations that Logoe and Mamil painted on their trip were tagged/dogged before I encountered them. It is a pity that ‘respect wars’ like this break out, but there is little I can do to help, and have to observe as an onlooker. The images below show you what happens if you disrespect a tribute piece…

Scrapy and Daz Cat, M32 roundabout, Bristol, January 2026

I have said before on Natural Adventures that there are several different kinds of collaborations, ranging from light-touch painting together to hardcore total assimilation of two or more artists into a single piece. This collaboration by Scrapyardspec (who prefers to be referred to as Scrapy) and Daz Cat sits somewhere in the middle of the spectrum. Their styles are distinct, but the colour scheme is common, and the outcome is a single piece.

The fusion, has a Scrapy character with googly eyes nestled atop a Daz Cat cat. Although the styles are so different, the collaboration works well, and from a viewers perspective it is always great to see artists adapting and working together. By the time I got to the piece, some idiot had tried to slap a poster or two over it, but these had been ripped off, leaving a bit of a mess in the middle. Nice combination.

Hire and Ceus, Dean Lane, Bristol, February 2025

I’m off to a football match this morning and will shortly be catching a train to London, so today’s posts are likely to be fairly swift. The next few posts are ones from earlier this year that somehow got left behind in my archives. This was a nice collaboration from Hire and Ceus back in February.

Some unusual writing, spelling out Odiah, one of the words Hire likes to use, and his trademark rabbit. All looking rather smooth in the winter sunshine.

Ceus appears to have left these shores now, and I think that this might have been amongst the last ones he painted in Bristol. A fine collaboration.

Miso, Zase and Real143, Dean Lane, Bristol, September 2025

For a short period in September, we were privileged to see a few pieces from Zase, a well known Bristol street artist, painting alongside what I assume were friends who were visiting. It would seem that it took the enthusiasm of these friends to encourage Zase to his some walls – good news indeed. This is a collaborative wall on the side of the swimming pool at Dean Lane by Miso, Zase and Real 143.

Miso, Dean Lane, Bristol, September 2025

First up, and setting the tone with an unusual colour scheme, is this rather nice blocky piece by Miso. The piece cleverly plays with light and shade, giving the impression that the upper half is in shadow, which it isn’t. The effect is accentuated by darker shades on the upper half, and bright highlights glowing like lights. Playful stuff.

Zase, Dean Lane, Bristol, September 2025

In the middle Zase has written out his name in his anamorphic style, playing tricks with the eyes, creating an extraordinary three-dimensional effect. Again, the use of light and shade helps to create this illusion.

Real143, Dean Lane, Bristol, September 2025

To the right, and continuing the colour scheme, is another anamorphic piece, this time by Real143, and adopting a quite different overall style. This piece is much softer, with flowing rounded lines that together build an object with depth running deep into the wall. All three pieces play tricks with our eyes and this is a very special collaboration indeed.

Werm and Scrapyardspec, River Avon, Bristol, July 2025

In my mind, some collaborations were just meant to be, and this magnificent joint venture from Werm and Scrapyardspec is simply awesome. Two utterly different styles, a writer and a character artist, have combined with skilful design and colour sharing to create a piece that just works brilliantly.

There is nothing pretentious about this combination piece, just two artists comfortable with what they do where the resulting whole is greater than the sum of the parts. The letters by Werm are nicely executed with straightforward fills and a bold white border. Scrapyardspec’s goofy character replaces the ‘E’ of ‘WERM’ and is integrated into the word with the clever use of an orange border bringing everything into the single piece. Excellent work, full of the joy of street art friendship.

Dibz and Fade, Dean Lane, Bristol, July 2025

I can’t think how many times Dibz and Fade have teamed up in the last couple of years, but it must be into dozens, and this piece shows the true nature of total collaboration, where both artists created this incredible work together, and it isn’t possible to know who painted what. Lots of crew shout-outs are scattered around the outside of the piece in pink. Wildstyle writing at its best.

The piece spells out, rather appropriately, ‘Wild Style Addicts’ which probably sums up these two rather well. The gold and purple colours complement one another well, and it all looks very neat and tidy on the black wall.
