Creamylines

7338. Brunel Way (343)

Creamylines, Brunel Way, Bristol, November 2025

Productivity underneath Brunel Way, a flyover which offers several concrete walls and pillars, has dipped in recent months, due to the ‘occupation’ of the main walls by high-end productions or tributes, both of which tend to have longevity. The knock-on effect is that people don’t go down there to paint much, and nothing will change for a while, until those walls get tagged or re-painted.

Fortunately, the odd piece is still being painted, mainly on the pillars and smaller flat surfaces and this is yet another beauty from Creamylines who, it has to be said, has had a purple patch this year. The landscape in this one is mountainous, and reminds me of the film title ‘The Hills Have Eyes’… I wonder why. All the ingredients are there for a classic Creamylines piece, and I like the addition of his text ‘Drawing Everythings’.

Creamylines, M32 Spot, Bristol, October 2025

By now, regular readers will know that I am very fond of the work of Creamylines and will note that I am thrilled by the uptick in his activity this year. This particular piece, underneath the busy M32 motorway, is a little larger than most of his work to date.

Unusually, this piece is dominated by reds and purples, where many of his other pieces tend to be yellows, greens and blues. The piece is crammed full of people, eyes and mountains, all set below a glorious red rising sun, with his customary silhouetted birds. A piece full of connection with nature and our surroundings.

On a column a few meters away, I found this small piece by Creamylines, which although dogged with graffiti that reads “Do you remember who you are?” “Everything and nothing”, gives us a sense of a slightly more refined work from the artist, which might have been painted with a brush rather than spray paints. All good work from the busy artist.

I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of Creamylines’ bright and optimistic pieces, and I am forever grateful that he seems to be upping the frequency with which he is painting. These things add up to an overwhelming sense of wellbeing and a distraction from the rather depressing world around us.

This is another column piece from Creamylines albeit in a part of town that I haven’t seen him venture to before. This one is a little tidier than some of his pieces, and incorporates a myriad of colours. Eyes, faces, hills, birds, mountains and a gorgeous sun are all incorporated in this landscape as I have come to expect. Fabulous fun, and more to come from Creamylines.

7189. Dean Lane skate park (868)

Creamylines, Dean Lane, Bristol, September 2025

It seems as though Creamylines has found a new lease of life, and although the last piece I posted by him was actually a repeat (thank you, Paul H for pointing this out), this is a spanking new piece in Dean Lane (one of several scattered around the city). This slab of concrete in the skate park lends itself really well to Creamylines’ bounded work (which makes me wonder whether he has ever painted up Purdown, it might suit him).

Instead of the more familiar portrait orientation, this is a landscape piece, that gives Creamylines more scope to broaden out his scene. Everything you’d want to see from this uplifting view is there. Water in the foreground, passing through to woodlands and fields and houses, all bathed in the light of a golden sun, with a couple of clouds and some birds. Calmness and joy.

7172. New Stadium Road (60)

Creamylines, New Stadium Road, Bristol, August 2025

I noticed that while I was away on holiday, Creamylines has been posting a few videos of him painting his work about the place. I hope that now I am back I will be able to find some of them.

As ever, his work intrigues, with such a unique style that is particularly well-suited to columns, like this one under the M32. In a bit of a departure from most of his pieces, Creamylines has included a seascape into his work, giving him the opportunity to introduce a fish into his ‘stained-glass’ world. Some interesting characters and figures look on.

7105. Brunel Way (330)

Creamylines, Brunel Way, Bristol, July 2025

I was very happy to see that Creamylines dropped two pieces under Brunel Way recently, probably in the same session, one of which I posted a week or so ago, and this is the other, which was painted low to the ground on the end of a wooden skate ramp.

Once again, Creamylines has presented a colourful landscape view, with fields and hills leading up to a sky dotted with clouds and a large yellow sun. There are plenty of figures or sentinels throughout the piece, which is given a serene and natural look, courtesy of the birds in flight. A calming piece in a crazy world.

7089. Brunel Way (327)

There is something about Creamylines’ work that simply seems to tick all my boxes, and I always get a little endorphin rush when I find one of his pieces, especially as they are rather infrequent. His ‘stained-glass window’ style is unlike anything else in Bristol.

The column landscape piece contains all the things you’d expect to find in one of Creamylines’ works. A landscape of hills peppered with figures, faces and eyes, topped with breaking clouds and silhouettes of birds on a rising/setting sun. What is interesting is that the artwork is quite crude, but the outcome sophisticated. This is a wonderful and uplifting piece from Creamylines.

Creamylines, BB Gallery, Bristol, March 2025

I don’t often trek along to the Bristol to Bath cycle path gallery, maybe only twice a year, but recently was rewarded for a visit with this magnificent piece by Creamylines. It is no secret that I am a big fan of the artist and love his ‘stained-glass’ landscapes.

This work is wider than most of his pieces and there is a lot more going on, with many little figures, eyes and birds to find. In addition, he has included a green character grinning in the top right. Of course, the central focus is on the sun and sky at the top end of the landscape. There is something tranquil about the piece. Bravo.

One of the most elusive artists in Bristol is Creamylines, probably due to the infrequency of his work. I haven’t yet met him, the chances of bumping in to him while he is painting is minimal, and that is a pity, because I’d love to tell him how much I admire his work.

There is always a sense of joy and optimism in Creamylines’ creations that momentarily transports one away from the troubles of daily life. His pieces resemble stained-glass windows in the way that they are segmented, with black lines separating each of the small ‘panels’ of artwork. The landscape scene takes us from the sea through hills and mountains ending with a bright sun and birds in the sky. It is almost heavenly. People and eyes are scattered throughout the piece, perhaps demonstrating our interdependence with our surroundings. How much I would love to see more of Creamylines’ uplifting work.
