It is such a good feeling when new graffiti writers on my radar start to appear once, then twice and then all of a sudden everywhere. Examples might include Raid, Dirtygypo, Grimes, Jevoissoul, Nips, Butch and so on, and now I am hoping that Fudge will be joining their ranks.

Her last piece (and first I became aware of) was on the M32 roundabout and included a large eyed cartoon character. This one in Montpelier Park is a straightforward piece of writing, but there is something rather pleasing about her letters and her fills too are rather nice and dreamy. I’ll be looking out for more from Fudge.

Ooh, it looks like we have another writer on the streets in Bristol, possibly two, and the subject of this post is Fudge. I think I may have spotted her getting ready to paint this piece (slightly controversially covering up Haka’s wonderful Pooh Bear piece, but I think she is new in town, so that is ok), with a friend (Mare?), but as they didn’t have any paints out of their bags, I didn’t approach them, because that might have seemed a bit weird (one of the challenges of being a white male of a certain age, I’m afraid).

I have to say that this combination piece ticks a lot of my boxes. Full of fun and joy a large-eyed character appears to be blowing a bubble gum FUDGE, or at least pursing her lips are pursed in the direction of the letters. The character is well drawn and the letters, fills and borders indicate a certain amount of experience. I am very much looking forward to seeing more from Fudge, and have at least one other piece ready to post.
