1637. St Werburghs tunnel (35)

It would appear that when Inuk came to visit Bristol recently he may have painted two or three pieces. This is the second that I am posting, and the first that I found. I didn’t write about it straight away because at the time of taking the picture I didn’t know the artist.

The writing is big and bold and spells out INUcK, which I guess is a variation on his name. I very much like the little character at the right hand end of the piece, who offers a little additional interest and decoration on the work.

1615. Dean Lane skate park (147)

On the left hand side of the long wall at Dean Lane is this lovely piece of writing from INUK. I have never come across this graffiti artist before, but have been able to find out a little bit about him from the Interweb thing. He comes from London and took his name from the Inuit of Greenland. He chose INUK because he used to get called Eskimo as a boy.

He seems to be a man on a mission to keep on doing something that he just really enjoys, and takes pride in what he has done. This piece is nicely done – great to have a background and then some real effort put into the letters and fills. There are some similarities with Inkie’s style, possibly the striped 3D fill and thick black outline on the letters. This Londoner is welcome to return any time.
