Hanging out to dry,
ugly guzzling grubbers will
transform and amaze.

warm, humid weather triggers

10. Claremont Road
Another large mural from Zase and Dekor just off the Gloucester Road in Bishopston.
I’m not sure how long it has been here, but I live nearby, and I can’t recall seeing it before.
I would love to know the backstory to this one. The wasps are beautifully sprayed and the movement in their wings cleverly portrayed. As usual we have the trademark Zase wildstyle signature taking up a large part of the piece, but not dominating it.
A good mural.
6. @Bristol
A beautiful commission on an outside wall of the excellent @Bristol museum. It is called ‘The Honey Bee’, and highlights the importance and plight of our pollinators.
ATM is an artist who went to art school in Sheffield and now lives in London and is famous for his striking pictures of birds. I am drawn by his highly ethical position on the natural world, and his images are reminders of species at risk, that were once abundant. My only criticism, which seems a little harsh, is that his work is not very edgy, and I like a bit of edge.
I understand from his Twitter feed that he painted a mural last weekend at Bristol’s world-famous Upfest. I will seek it out soon.
