Creamylines has been working on an array of community art projects in recent months which has taken up a fair amount of his time, and, as a result he hasn’t been painting walls all that frequently. This piece under Brunel Way has bucked that recent trend.

This time his column landscape has more of a nighttime feel to it, even though there is a large sun at the top of the piece. Perhaps it is sunset. Water, fields and an urban scene all contribute to this overall English landscape, and in such a small area of wall too. He certainly crams it all in. Another winning piece from Creamylines.

Not too long ago, Creamylines got busy painting birds on columns under the M32. I don’t quite know if this was a practice session or a takeover bit. Whatever the motivation, he has occupied about a dozen or more columns with his long-necked bird portraits.

Of course, I could have photographed every column, and filled this post with birds, but instead have chosen one or two as I think you get the idea. I am really enjoying watching on as Creamylines expands his portfolio and his presence in Bristol.

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.

Well, well, well, how wonderful to find this bird character portrait on a back wall of the DIY skate park under the M32. And even more exciting is that is it painted by Creamylines, showing that he isn’t a one-trick-pony at all and enabling him to branch out into a whole new world of adventure.

The bird, with its long neck and big eyes lends itself to countless opportunities for expressions and variations. Although this wasn’t the first of these birds that I found, it was the first I could nail down as being by Creamylines. Watch this space from more of these charming characters.

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.
