I have hung on to this picture for an absolute age. No particular reason. It is by DNT, and it resided in a little side lane off Stokes Croft. I just like it – it is a well crafted piece of writing, and it simply and joyfully says Bristolz.
I have nothing more to write – sometimes writing too much takes attention away from the graffiti. Enjoy.
This little side street just off Stokes Croft is a very popular spot with DNT and his friends, one of whom is Mr Klue. We are used to seeing rather more abstract pieces from Mr Klue, so this seated figure with a hat would have to go down as one of the more unusual pieces by him.
I really like the calmness of the work and it’s distinctive style. He is an artist I am really enjoying at the moment.
It is great how things start to come together. Twelve months ago I could probably have named only two Bristol street artists, and one of them was Banksy! Now that I have been blogging about the amazing street art in Bristol for about a year, I am slowly becoming more familiar with the local artists and their styles. Some still confuse me, but generally I know what I am looking at.
This lovely collaboration appeared in January this year in Hepburn Road – a heavily sprayed alleyway, about 20m long. The robot thing on the left is by DNT (Bruno Dante), the swirly abstract is by the wonderful Mr Klue (getting a lot of posts at the moment) and the rat is by Akarat
I have struggled to separate the work of Hoax and Akarat, and still do. I now know though that the little squiggle above the rat’s head is Akarat’s signature, which shouyld make things a little easier.
Sadly this piece is now gone, but I was lucky enough to see and enjoyed passing it many times.
I am going to be clear about this. I want to find more pieces by Face F1st. I love the simplicity of the lines. The sentiment of the faces. The cool colours.
I have not been able to find out much about the artist other than that they belong to the PWA (Pirate Wall Art) crew.
This little side street in Stokes Croft is bursting with street art with a very high turnover. There is a lot more to come from here.
