Hardly a day goes by when I don’t stop to take a quick look at this familiar and wonderful piece. It is a constant when all around it is in continual flux.
‘Dandy Lion’ is a private commission, presumably for the householder, and has commanded great respect from the tagging community over the years; it remains unscathed.
Both the lion and the mouse are delightful. You can see the care and preparation that went into the work on the Lucas Antics website.

Slap bang next to the Tom Miller piece posted on 13 March 2016, is a striking collaboration by two Bristol street artists not yet featured on my blog, Mr. Sle7en and Klue.
I have seen works by both of them, but only recently worked out who they are. The top part, a rather typical three-eyed character is by Sle7en (Luke Sleven), who describes himself as a ‘freelance artist, illustrator, painter, muralist, aerosol alchemist, and all round artisan’. The lower part is by Klue (Klue Wone), an artist, illustrator and designer, whose wall pieces are very distinctive, with colourful angular swirls mingling to form beautiful freestyle designs.
There will be more from these two to come.
