657. M32 roundabout J3 (32)

At a recent gathering of crews at the M32 roundabout, there was this stand out piece. Most of the works (several to follow) were wildstyle writing, but slap bang in the middle of them this Sled One composition breaking up the pattern.

I think that this is an exceptional work. The way the light bursts out of the anthropomorphised fridge is extraordinary. There is also a story going on, as is usually the case for Sled One’s pieces, which I think is that the man is grabbing some hot dogs from the fridge which in turn will consume the man. Or something like that.

It has been a little while since I saw a new piece by Sled One and this has been worth waiting for. I like the nice touch of the fridge wearing a feathered cap. There is a lot to look for in this ‘cartoon’ style piece. It made me happy.

No more packed lunches

thank heavens; reclaiming time

lost from our mornings.

Memories of a café

 

The Penny Farthing

used to be here; tea and cakes

with my grandmother.

Together alone

 

Me and my pizza,

the chef, waiter and bar girl;

empty restaurant.

City food

 

Wonderful smells drift

in and out of the street stalls

selling World cuisine.

Expensive cheap

 

Cheesecake price reduced;

if only the reduction

applied to contents.

Regimented rows

  • Anyone in Bristol who finds themselves at Temple Meads Station really must look out for this locally famous bakery. It can be accessed via a staircase on the left hand side of the station short term car park, and is in one of the archways underneath.

Lazy Sunday

 

The Sunday roast is

in the oven; my tummy

rumbles hollow tunes.
