- On seeing an urban male mayfly that hatched a little too early. I’m not sure that I have ever seen one in Bristol before.

Happy Easter folks. It looks like today has the makings of a perfect blue-sky day, but it is a little cloudy just now. At least it isn’t raining. This is a little Easter treat, although it was painted a while back, from Smak, whose work these days is not as frequent as it once was.
The SMAK letters in a kind of brown/brass colour are set on a background of pink and blue, and have a kind of ‘brushed metal’, look to them. A modest piece from one of the best graffiti writers in town.

The writing says MOTEL, quite why I’m not sure, it always feels a bit random to me. The artist is Dog Bless the Band, whose name is definitely one of the more creative ones, competing strongly with ‘In the Allotment’ and Stupid Stupid Meathole (remember him?). In this piece the M reminds me of a cartoon elephant – that might just be me though.
Dog Bless the Band always uses understated colours – muted is probably the word – almost as if he doesn’t want to draw attention to the piece. Whether this is modesty, or simply a palette preference is hard to know, but it is certainly a feature of his work. There is something rather animated about the writing, perhaps it is the patchwork style in the fills or the flowing curvy lines. The red and yellow border bring vibrancy to this quiet and peaceful piece.
