7467. Surbiton Station, London

SkyHigh, Surbiton Station, London, February 2026

Last weekend my wife and I went to London for a football match and stayed with her brother and family in Surbiton. To get to the match we had to catch a train from Surbiton Station and you can only imagine my joy, when I saw this mural buy SkyHigh, and several others tucked around the corner. Over the next few days I’ll be posting some of these.

SkyHigh is perhaps better known for his outstanding writing, but has also produced some extraordinary wildlife pieces, and this domestic nature scene certainly hits the mark. I believe that this mural was painted several years ago (December 2021?), but is still looking pretty fresh.

SkyHigh has captured the robin and the red squirrel perfectly, although there aren’t many (any) red squirrels in this part of the country. What a magnificent sight for commuters to return to after a dull day at work. Bravo!

7466. Cumberland Basin

Creamylines, Cumberland Basin, Bristol, February 2026

Such is the low turnover of street artwork at the moment, I get very excited by any new piece I find, with most of my visits to the usual spots yielding precious little. Naturally, finding this cracker by Creamylines made my day recently.

I am very fond of this little recess and there have been many lovely pieces painted here, so it is fitting that Creamylines should adopt it. All that we would expect to see from the artist is here, and I would like to credit Suzette with her description of his work as being “like a vintage quilt”, which I thought most fitting. I have a feeling that someone has added some sun rays, which slightly disrupt the piece… I would be surprised if it was a Creamylines addition. Uplifting work.

7465. River Avon (111)

Creamylines, River Avon, Bristol, September 2025

Going through my archive, I found this beauty by Creamylines, which I photographed last September. I don’t quite understand how this one slipped through the cracks, as I like to post every piece of his that I find… but it did, so I am posting it now.

The theme is what I’d expect to see; The sun, some clouds, a landscape, this time with mountains and a number of figures, faces and eyes scattered throughout the piece. There is joy and humour here, and a connection with our landscape that is most potent. Creamylines’ pieces are a wonderful distraction from the urban grind of everyday life. Thank you Creamylines.

7464. Lucky Lane (18)

Umbral and Dai Luk, Lucky Lane, Bristol, September 2025

With the turnover of pieces being rather slow this year, I have a quick opportunity to rifle through my archive, and this is a delightful piece by Umbral and Dai Luk painted at a Bristol Mural Collective paint jam in Lucky Lane last September.

The slightly fierce looking stylised calico cat is notable for its long curly tail. The piece is set on a blue background with a blue pattern running behind and in front of the cat. This is what I would term a true collaboration, where both artists have combined their skills to create the single piece. The calico cat is spinning its luck, but isn’t what I’d call a calico cat – but I am splitting hairs. Great shutter collaboration.

7463. River Avon (110)

Haka is another of those artists who is at the very heart of the Bristol graffiti art scene. His authentic and good-natured style, and occasionally, although less so in recent years, politically motivated work has been replaced in the last three or so years with lighthearted children’s picture book combinations. This piece is just a straightforward piece of graffiti writing.

This bright and optimistic piece is painted on some relatively new hoardings alongside the River Avon, surrounding a new development – you can see the initial concrete pillars, which I am guessing will be lift shafts for the new building. Haka has produced a lovely clean piece with great yellow and orange colour separation and plenty of fill decorations. A drop shadow veers off to the right, and the whole thing is contained in a green background splat with orange crack lines. A really nice piece of graffiti writing.

7462. St Werburghs tunnel (567)

Neddy Ned Ned and Jest Soubriquet, St Werburghs, Bristol, February 2026

It has been really hard work finding new pieces so far this year. The near constant rain has kept most artists at home. I am expecting a deluge of work once the sun returns, and my files for March and April to be overflowing. At least St Werburghs tunnel seems to offer refuge for those brave enough to venture out, like Neddy Ned Ned and Jest Soubriquet.

Neddy Ned Ned, St Werburghs, Bristol, February 2026

I really wasn’t expecting this piece, so it definitely came as a pleasant surprise. The letters, spelling out WISKA are by Neddy Ned Ned, and are full of colour, with delineated horizontal stripes running through the letters in colour sequences. The drop shadow has a disappearing point in the middle of the piece, and the upper half colours are black and green and the lower half, red and green. A nicely thought out piece.

Jest Soubriquet, St Werburghs, Bristol, February 2026

The portrait piece by Jest Soubriquet is really striking, especially the lips and eyes. I feel that the top half of the head needs to be higher, as the proportions don’t quite work. I like the mix of a realistic face with stylised hair, it works for me. Nice to see these two painting together.

7461. St Werburghs tunnel (556)

Zinso, St Werburghs, Bristol, February, 2026

This is an interesting augmentation piece by Zinso, using the underlying work by Conrico to make his mark. This kind of addition takes us into the murky waters of convention and respect, particularly with this Conrico piece, which had only been present for a few days, celebrating Tera’s birthday. While I rather like augmentation pieces, I do feel that they should have a period of clear space between the original and the addition.

Zinso, St Werburghs, Bristol, January 2026

The skull face that has been added is neat and crisp, and very much what you’d expect from Zinso. It also provides a totally different look and feel from the original by Conrico. As I have said many, many times on Natural Adventures, it is a jungle out there.

7460. M32 Spot (215)

Conrico, M32 roundabout, Bristol, January 2026

Conrico has been smashing it out of the park lately, particularly with his portrait work, which can be a welcome relief from overdosing on graffiti writing. This is a wonderful column piece underneath the M32, and a perfect showcase of Conrico’s work.

In this piece, Conrico has painted a young woman sitting cross-legged with her hand held out and the letters GYS (Graveyard Shift) emblazoned on her palm. There are loads of layers and textures in her clothes, and what is quite remarkable is that the piece is entirely painted with spray cans and not a paint brush in sight. Fine red and white outlines are carefully applied to give definition and sharpness. This is simply brilliant, both in composition and execution.

7459. Dean Lane skate park (900)

Benjimagnetic, Dean Lane, Bristol, January 2026

It has been a while since I last saw Benjimagnetic paint the letters BEN, as he appears to have preferred the letters GRO lately. The colour selection for this piece is absolutely fabulous, and the two tones of purple add to the splendour.

The whole thing is much more contiguous than some of his pieces, which can be rather more deconstructed. There is a really subtle, but effective, thin black drop shadow to the left of the letters, offering some definition. The letters are set on a chrome background which includes a little line drawing sketch around the outside. A classy piece from Benjimagnetic.
