This piece is difficult to describe in its entirety. It is an epic piece to celebrate one year on from the Goldie inspired Ikea wall, and also to honour DJ Randall, and this particular spot has been used by the THK crew for a few years now to pay tribute to the departed musician. The paint jam included work from Goldie, Jody, Dibz, Posea, Zuke, Soker, Cheo and Fade. It is worth noting that this piece hasn’t been touched since it was painted in August.

From the left, the collaboration begins with a piece of graffiti writing by Goldie and some flowers by Zuke. Some bright and rather beautiful work here to get things going.

Next up is a portrait of DJ Randall by Jody, one of many renditions of the artist that has graced this spot. Once again, the portrait piece is embroidered by some flowers by Zuke. The greyscale piece is punctuated only by a gold tooth and gold ring.

Dibz is up next, with the letters AMBER (I think), and of course, there are some more flowers surrounding the letters, and a trademark Bee by Cheo. The letters are beautifully filled, and the drop shadow has a wonderful pulsating effect.

The steel case with the Metalheadz logo and record sleeve are by Posea and each of the contributing artists has signed the sleeve, almost as if it were a tangible object.

Finally, the epic wall is rounded off with writing from Soker, a toucan smoking a cigar and a python by Cheo and the letters THK by Fade, once more festooned with Zuke’s flowers. The whole wall is a bit of a masterpiece, that has been enjoyed by many this year.

All year long, Dibz and Fade have been decorating this wall with alarming regularity, and they have been joined along the way in their endeavours by Andy Council, Jody and Acer One (amongst others) and this time are joined by Goldie, Acer One and Jody. A production tribute wall to honour the musician and DJ, Randall.

The whole production is very nicely balanced which given the configuration, which starts with a Goldie piece that embroiders the words ‘The R’. This is a really nice dedication and beautifully painted. The colour selection is reflected in the rest of the collaboration. It is always great to see Goldie visiting Bristol for a bit of a paint.

Fade is next up and he has compressed his piece to accommodate Goldie next to him and support the balance I was talking about earlier. With the orange and turquoise letters, Fade has written the letters ‘DJ’ which are as immaculate as you might expect. Both sets of writing are adorned with flames, which extend for the entire collaboration.

The centrepiece is  a shared space with Acer One lettering across the top of an outstanding Jody portrait of DJ Randall. Acer One has written ‘Too hot to handle’ which I am guessing is part of a slogan rhyming with DJ Randall. Not being a music specialist myself, I am unable to shed too much light on the artist or his work.

The Portrait is a faithful and beautifully painted, and certainly a fitting tribute.

The production rounds-off on the right with a wide piece of wildstyle graffiti writing from Dibz. The Turquoise and orange letters spell Randall, so the whole production spells out:

“The R, Too hot to handle, DJ Randall”.

Wonderful stuff from this quintet of talented artists.
