Jevoissoul – Natural adventures

7203. River Avon (95)

Jevoissoul (slow), River Avon, Bristol, September 2025

I haven’t posted much from Jevoissoul for a while, but this piece alongside the River Avon was perhaps just too good to miss. This book ended combination piece is really neat and tidy and speaks to the artist’s progress over the last year or two.

The letters SLOW are beautifully painted in strong solid colours, without decorative fills, but sometimes less can be more, and it definitely works here. Great colour combinations too. The characters are unmistakably by Jevoissoul, and he has really made these in his very own stylised cartoon design, with their distinctive comic mouths. It is a pity that he ran out of brown for the background. All in all, a great piece.

As if it were needed, this combination piece is further evidence that Jevoissoul is on an upward trajectory. Probably the most noticeable aspect of his improvement is the tightness of his work, and by that I mean his lines are clean and his fills tidy. When he first started out, His work felt a little cluttered and hurried, but I don’t get that feeling so much now.

To the left, our familiar character, complete with grimace, appears to be losing his cap, which creates a sense of movement in the piece. Jevoissoul’s artwork is becoming more sophisticated, with a two-tone light/shade aspect to the face. The letters also have a sense of movement, indicated by the black accent lines around the outside. Good colours and nicely blended horizontal strips fill the letters nicely. Perhaps there could be a little bit more interest in the letters themselves, but now I am just being picky.

6671. Stapleton Road

Jevoissoul and Omie, Stapleton Road, Bristol, January 2025

The new hoarding at the very top end of Stapleton Road has been colonised pretty quickly, and I can see it becoming a popular spot over the coming months. Omie and Jevoissoul have teamed up to paint one section of the virgin hoarding, and started off with a rather fetching pink background.

Jevoissoul is fast becoming one of the most active street artists in Bristol, with his stylised character faces and ‘SLOW’ writing appearing pretty much all over the city. Hardly a day passes without stumbling on another new piece. Since I first became aware of his work, his pieces have become much tighter, with strong, tidy black lines and solid fills. This is a good example of his improvement.

Omie, Stapleton Road, Bristol, January 2025

Having met Omie over the Christmas break, it is so nice now to visualise the face and person behind the great writing. What I particularly like about Omie’s work is that every piece is utterly unique and different from anything else I have seen by him before. His creativity is admirable. I like the colours and the brush-stroke effect he has achieved with this piece. I wonder how long this collaboration will remain before others get to test out this new spot.

6628. Sparke Evans Park (114)

Jevoissoul, Sparke Evans Park, Bristol, December 2024

Jevoissoul, who prefers to be called @slowlane100 on Instagram has had a very good year, and built up his repertoire from basic character pieces to tidy combination pieces, with writing that has seen a steady improvement. This wonderful piece, in Sparke Evans Park, shows how constant practice pays dividends.

The letters SLOW are bookended with two characters, one with a cap and one without, and both with the characteristic mouth design that epitomises Jevoissoul’s work. There is a lot to like in this combination piece, but overall it is the neatness that comes across most. I am looking forward to a further year of improvement.

6577. Dean Lane skate park (786)

Jevoissoul, Dean Lane, Bristol, November 2024

Super-quick posts this morning, as Christmas shopping beckons and a very busy day ahead. I am quite looking forward to going to some actual ‘physical’ shops, as I am getting a little sick of on-line shopping. Today’s post is a piece by Jevoissoul, who is living up to his promise of having a busy year painting the streets of Bristol.

Jevoissoul’s characters have a very distinctive look, crossing over between a sketch and cartoon style. This cheeky chappy, with his baseball cap coming adrift (a nice touch) is nicely painted and finished, and marks the continuous improvement shown by the artist. The placement was at the edge of a production piece, but respectfully managed to avoid overwriting any part of it.

When I first met Jevoissoul, he told me that he had planned to paint his stuff as regularly as he could all over the city, and it would appear that he has lived up to his word. His distinctive character is more frequently these days accompanied by the letters SLOW, to create larger combination pieces.

Jevoissoul, River Avon, Bristol, November 2024

While his characters are not necessarily evolving, they are getting tighter, and the same can be said for his letters. It would appear that Jevoissoul is enjoying decorating walls, and It would be great to catch up with him again and chat about his work, past and future. A tidy piece from Jevoissoul.

6351. Dean Lane skate park (747)

Jevoissoul, Dean Lane, Bristol, August 2024

Jevoissoul told me when I first met him that he would be hitting the streets of Bristol hard, and he has lived up to his work. Barely a week goes by without another of his distinctive character pieces appearing at one of the hot spots around the city. His character is sometimes accompanied by the word SLOW in combination pieces like this one.

Sometimes Jevoissoul’s work can be a little ragged, but this combination piece is pretty tight and nicely filled and finished, indeed it might be one of his best to date. I have a whole raft of his work that I haven’t yet posted and think I might have to do a small collection post at some point, just to catch up, something I have said about many of our most prolific artists numerous times. Nice work from Jevoissoul

Jevoissoul, Dean Lane, Bristol, June 2024

When I first met Jeviossoul, he was just starting up with his character portraits, but he promised me then that he would be hitting the city hard with his ‘slow lane’ pieces. True to his word, he has been productive, particularly on the fringe spots, but occasionally hitting some of the more popular walls like this one in Dean Lane.

I like to think of Jevoissoul as a bit of a diamond in the rough, who has an interesting style that he is improving. It is not only his style that is getting better, but his technique is definitely on the up too. This piece might be his tidiest yet, and features his character with an orange cap, swallowing an acid tab, with the words ‘one love’ in accompaniment. Watch this space to see how he progresses.

5831. Purdown (67)

Jevoissoul, Purdown, Bristol, January 2024

I think I have met Jevoissoul only once, and we had a great discussion about his emergence on the scene and his likely direction of travel. He told me at that point that he had ambitions to be very busy and to paint all over Bristol. Fast-track a few months, and he appears to be realising his plans, with new pieces popping up all over the place.

This typical piece is on one of the square concrete slabs of the WWII gun emplacement at the top of the hill at Purdown, with commanding views across Bristol. The picassoesque character is clutching a rather large joint from which a slug of smoke wafts upwards. I like Jevoissoul’s work and I would like to see him develop his ideas to create new scenarios. I’m sure this will come in time.

5772. Brunel Way (252)

Jevoissoul, Brunel Way, Bristol, December 2023

I am rather fond of Jevoissoul’s work. It doesn’t have the sharpness or precision of writers like Dibz or Smak, nor does it create extraordinary characters in the way that Sled One or 3Dom can, for example, but it has a charm and authenticity that underpins the vast spectrum of art and graffiti that we see in Bristol. On such solid foundations great things are built.

Jevoissoul has painted two of his characters with ‘Popeye’ smiles. The fills and shading is basic and effective, creating some contrast and depth in its simplest form. No Jevoissoul piece is complete without the word ‘slow’ in attendance, although I don’t know why he writes it, nor why it is pointed at the character on the left. One for the next conversation I have with the artist.
