There is little doubt about it… Mage has recently stepped up a level. He has been turning out pieces on an incredibly regular basis and playing with his creative fills. All that hard work and practice is paying off, and his work is becoming more sophisticated, lifting up the ranks of Bristol writers.

These letters in Sparke Evans Park are quite sensational. The simple spotty effect is so clever and creates a uniformity and vibrancy in the piece. Combined with a beautifully worked drop shadow, this piece pops perfectly and stands out from the crowd. One of his best pieces yet IMO.

The last couple of visits to Bristol by Logoe have resulted in only two or three pieces, which is worth mentioning, because typically we get to see a rash of five or six per visit. This piece was painted over the Christmas holiday period, I think, and bears all thee hallmarks of a great piece of Logoe writing.

The colours are suitably subtle, and the palette nicely worked out. The dots are rather different in so much as they are running in vertical rows rather than the customary horizontal splash we usually see. The letters ‘Logoe’ are really nicely written, but if I am perfectly honest, slightly masked by number and size of dots. Another fine piece of writing.
