113. Stokes Croft, Palmer’s (2)

Back in September I posted a tribute to Mibsy at this exact location.

Recently it would appear that another much loved member of the Bristol graffiti community has passed away, and tribute pieces are popping up everywhere, as tags, burners or full scale walls like this one.

There is little documented information about Mike Buzz, but there is this quote taken from the Bristol Graffiti and Street Art FaceBook site; “one of the nicest guys in the graffiti game. Buzz says love life. Rocking in paradise”

This is a lovely work by Deam, Ames and Skank, and once again reaffirms just how close the graffiti and street art community is in Bristol. It is also good to see that there is a small reference to Mibsy on this new work. There will be more posts on Buzz soon.

104. Jubilee Street (2)

I have just been checking up on Streetview to recall the place I photographed this wall. It is Jubilee Street, and the amazing thing is that there has been a massive turnover of high quality street art in this area (since the last release of Streetview in 2014). Obviously I will have to venture here more frequently.

I have delayed posting this fabulous piece because I wasn’t sure who sprayed it – then I saw the signature in the chewing gum under the shoe. The artist is Deam. I have plenty more of his works to post in the future. I have a feeling that SPZero76 might have had a hand in this too.

I love this work and I love the area.

103. Frogmore Street (5)

This collaboration rounds off, for the time being, the different works of Bristol artists in this area. The wall in question is directly below the Banksy, and adjacent to the 45RPM and RichT wall.

It is a cheerful piece by Silent Hobo, Cheo and Deam (who seems to sign himself with variants of Deam, Deamz or Deamze). Each artist has sprayed a separate part of the wall in their own distinct styles.

The wall has been repainted reasonably regularly, although this has remained for a couple of years. I fully expect it will change again this year. The wall gets a load of attention from visitors who come to look at the Banksy above it.

I am fond of this work.
