7585. M32 Spot (221)

When you have reached the heady heights of being at the top of your game, in the way that 3Dom is, it must be quite difficult to find new and exciting ideas to keep things fresh. With his new series of ‘street elves’ 3Dom has managed just that and given himself a whole new project to enjoy alongside all of his other outstanding work.

This piece isn’t signed, but I have spotted another similar piece which is, so I am pretty certain it is by 3Dom. The ‘elf’ is built up with several different colourful components or blocks that come together to create a whole portrait extended up the column. Attractive and nicely symmetrical. Watch this space for more.

Creamylines, Brunel Way, Bristol, March 2026

As pieces go, this one by Creamylines, is on the small side. It is painted on a column under Brunel Way, but even at this size it packs quite a punch. 2026 has definitely been a bumper year so far from Creamylines, who appears to have come out of his shell a bit, and is painting new character pieces as well as his ‘stained-glass’ effect pieces like this one in more places around the city.

Everything that is fun about Creamylines’ work is crammed into this small space; the sun, the birds, figures, hills, trees and eyes. It is all here squished together into a coherent landscape. Such wonderful and uplifting work.

John D'oh, M32 roundabout J2, Bristol, March 2026 — John D’oh, M32 roundabout J2, Bristol, March 2026

Another column piece from the John D’oh gallery of stencils underneath the M32. The artist has certainly made himself at home here, and I note from his Instagram account that he has been busy down there again recently.

This simple piece features a rather stereotyped curvaceous woman holding a book and tilting her glasses. The caption says ‘love is like street art, sometimes it doesn’t last long’, which I guess can be true, there is also an additional view that might take the position ‘love is like street art, sometimes it lasts forever’. Yet more to come from this rich seam of John D’oh gold.

7560. Cumberland Basin

Peggy, Cumberland Basin, Bristol, March 2026

I have been aware of this lovely column piece by Peggy for some time, but simply haven’t been able to stop in the right place to be able to photograph it. I managed to do so on an extended walk a week or two back when I had a day off from work.

This superb floral design stands out brilliantly on the turquoise column, and is most striking. Peggy, who is a tattooist by profession, creates these pieces that are really quite unlike any other artwork we see in Bristol. Each one is quite different from the last, but stylistically consistent. It is good to see her work, especially as she doesn’t paint all that often.

7558. M32 roundabout J2 (16)

Another fine stencil from the ever-expanding gallery of work by John D’oh under the M32. This little spot is a haven of wit, pathos, observation and political commentary captured within the artist’s simple and authentic style.

In this piece John D’oh highlights the pleasure and mental health benefits derived by artists from painting on the streets (a very real thing), while commenting on the futility of Bristol City Council putting those serving community service to work on buffing the walls of popular graffiti spots. A great observation of his own craft and responses to it.

7550. M32 Roundabout J2 (15)

This is another wonderful stencil piece by John D’oh, underneath the M32 in what he has made into a bit of a personal gallery. This simple, playful piece is packed with humour and wordplay.

A gorilla is featured alongside a banana which has a bit of tape over it, to give the illusion that a real banana is attached to the column.The words ‘guerilla street art is better than a grey wall’ mess with the homonym ‘guerilla and gorilla’. Fun stuff nicely executed.

7535. Brunel Way (352)

He’s back! Maybe is painting again after a long pause, with this wonderful interlocking face piece, so distinctive and beautifully presented in his unique styling. I know that this isn’t a one-off and will be searching for more when I return to Bristol later this afternoon.

Maybe uses a combination of techniques to achieve his touching and imaginative pieces, and the end result is always something to examine and ponder on. Some nice shading adds to separating these two faces, augmenting the strong black outline. It is so good to see him back decorating our walls and columns once again.

7532. M32 roundabout J2 (13)

In a world filled with terrifying and depressing headlines, it is refreshing to be able to enjoy a moment of lighthearted humour, and this lovely column piece by John D’oh under the M32 is just what the doctor ordered.

How often have we heard that ‘love is just around the corner’? Well, John D’oh takes the saying literally with this two-part stencil. A simple and clever piece that would bring a smile to even the most cold-hearted viewer. Just another piece in a superb ‘gallery’ of John D’oh’s work under the M32 adjacent to Eastville Park.

7513. M32 Spot (216)

Creamylines, M32 Spot, Bristol, February 2026

There is no stopping Creamylines at the moment, he is without doubt the most productive street artist in Bristol at this time, and he has hit a purple patch at a time when many other artists are only just awakening from their winter slumbers.

This is an awesome example of Creamylines’ work, with a huge sun drawing the eye in. There is so much positivity in this piece, forever making connections between people and our environment. His style, variously describes as ‘patchwork quilt’ or ‘stained-glass window’ is quite unique and puts him in a category all of his own. There is so much to like about this, and searching out all the different hidden components is a fun experience. Keep it up!

7460. M32 Spot (215)

Conrico, M32 roundabout, Bristol, January 2026

Conrico has been smashing it out of the park lately, particularly with his portrait work, which can be a welcome relief from overdosing on graffiti writing. This is a wonderful column piece underneath the M32, and a perfect showcase of Conrico’s work.

In this piece, Conrico has painted a young woman sitting cross-legged with her hand held out and the letters GYS (Graveyard Shift) emblazoned on her palm. There are loads of layers and textures in her clothes, and what is quite remarkable is that the piece is entirely painted with spray cans and not a paint brush in sight. Fine red and white outlines are carefully applied to give definition and sharpness. This is simply brilliant, both in composition and execution.
