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!

Another day and another wonderful piece from Creamylines, an artist who has been knocking it out of the park recently. Unlike most artists in Bristol, Creamylines tends to paint solo, and maybe that’s just how he likes it. It would be interesting, one day, to see him collaborate with others, it could bring about some exciting outcomes.

The central element of this composition is a friendly snail carrying the landscape narrative on its back, and that landscape contains the smorgasbord of sun, birds, hills, ponds, faces, figures and abundant nature that we might expect. Charming and full of the good things in life, I am so much enjoying Creamylines’ purple patch.

Creamylines is having something of a purple patch both in terms of quality and quantity of his pieces. This is one of two that I found up at Purdown on a recent dog walk, and I can’t tell you how pleased I was to see them.

There is an unbridled sense of optimism in Creamylines’ work that taps into the essentials of our existence – sunshine, landscapes, nature and people, stripping things back to core values and experiences as humans. This gorgeous piece is less busy than some of his works, allowing our eyes time to alight on some of the details. I love the watercourse at the bottom of the piece, and some of the faces peering in. Thank you Creamylines for making the world a brighter place.

Such is the low turnover of street artwork at the moment, I get very excited by any new piece I find, with most of my visits to the usual spots yielding precious little. Naturally, finding this cracker by Creamylines made my day recently.

I am very fond of this little recess and there have been many lovely pieces painted here, so it is fitting that Creamylines should adopt it. All that we would expect to see from the artist is here, and I would like to credit Suzette with her description of his work as being “like a vintage quilt”, which I thought most fitting. I have a feeling that someone has added some sun rays, which slightly disrupt the piece… I would be surprised if it was a Creamylines addition. Uplifting work.

Going through my archive, I found this beauty by Creamylines, which I photographed last September. I don’t quite understand how this one slipped through the cracks, as I like to post every piece of his that I find… but it did, so I am posting it now.

The theme is what I’d expect to see; The sun, some clouds, a landscape, this time with mountains and a number of figures, faces and eyes scattered throughout the piece. There is joy and humour here, and a connection with our landscape that is most potent. Creamylines’ pieces are a wonderful distraction from the urban grind of everyday life. Thank you Creamylines.

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.

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’.

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.

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.
