I was very happy to see that Creamylines dropped two pieces under Brunel Way recently, probably in the same session, one of which I posted a week or so ago, and this is the other, which was painted low to the ground on the end of a wooden skate ramp.

Once again, Creamylines has presented a colourful landscape view, with fields and hills leading up to a sky dotted with clouds and a large yellow sun. There are plenty of figures or sentinels throughout the piece, which is given a serene and natural look, courtesy of the birds in flight. A calming piece in a crazy world.

There is so much more to this piece than first meets the eye. For a start, Conrico could have simply written his name on the wall, but no, he has treated us to an entire landscape into which his name fits.

The landscape looks like something out of The Lord of the Rings, Mount Doomesque. The meeting of the water and the sky in a dramatic fiery battle provides the perfect setting for the lime green 3D letters. The whole composition is balanced and exciting, and the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Great work from Conrico.

This is a fine collaboration from two artists who never seem to stop, both totally dedicated to their art and sharing it with us. This is the kind of collaboration which is more about artists painting together rather than any kind of fusion between their styles, colours or design.

On the left, Conrico presents a portrait of a woman in the foreground, who looks like she is taking a selfie in front of an island paradise – probably a Japanese island in the East China Sea. Conrico’s portraits are improving all the time and becoming more of a feature of his work. Of course, he has enough paint to add in his letters, with a feint reflection in the inviting sea.

To the right, Werm’s letters are beautifully presented, with the middle two letters a little smaller and ‘sitting on top’ of the rest of the piece. Lots of depth and intricate design work in this graffiti writing. Both artists have very different technical styles, but this collaboration works incredibly well.

I don’t often trek along to the Bristol to Bath cycle path gallery, maybe only twice a year, but recently was rewarded for a visit with this magnificent piece by Creamylines. It is no secret that I am a big fan of the artist and love his ‘stained-glass’ landscapes.

This work is wider than most of his pieces and there is a lot more going on, with many little figures, eyes and birds to find. In addition, he has included a green character grinning in the top right. Of course, the central focus is on the sun and sky at the top end of the landscape. There is something tranquil about the piece. Bravo.

The curved wall at Dean Lane has played host to so many fabulous pieces (and some not so fabulous). This collaboration from Conrico and Daz Cat is a wonderful piece, full of creativity and colour, with the two distinct styles coming together in great harmony.

The left hand side of the wall belongs to Conrico, who has written his name in one of his familiar landscapes, with a distant monster that might be Godzilla emerging from the stylised choppy sea. To the right, Daz Cat has painted a sage-like old fish/axolotl type character watches on as if he might have the answer to an unknown question. Is that an orange platypus in his packet? Lots of stories in this brilliant collaboration.

One of the most elusive artists in Bristol is Creamylines, probably due to the infrequency of his work. I haven’t yet met him, the chances of bumping in to him while he is painting is minimal, and that is a pity, because I’d love to tell him how much I admire his work.

There is always a sense of joy and optimism in Creamylines’ creations that momentarily transports one away from the troubles of daily life. His pieces resemble stained-glass windows in the way that they are segmented, with black lines separating each of the small ‘panels’ of artwork. The landscape scene takes us from the sea through hills and mountains ending with a bright sun and birds in the sky. It is almost heavenly. People and eyes are scattered throughout the piece, perhaps demonstrating our interdependence with our surroundings. How much I would love to see more of Creamylines’ uplifting work.

I love the way that street and graffiti artists are so quick to find new hoardings, a job, in fairness, made much easier when they are adjacent to an existing known spot. So it is with these hoardings near the M32 Spot. Nice One has painted another of his stunning landscape pieces on this virgin board and it looks fantastic.

The winter scene features a rural landscape with bare trees and a church tower, all covered in snow. It is a pretty scene and one that is rarely seen in street art. Nice one is an interesting character who combines a subversive edge with a fine art and design style, and he is producing some of the best artwork in Bristol at the moment (in my opinion). A wonderful piece.

This piece by Perspicere is opposite the Banksy tree on Hornsey Road, London, and was photographed while walking to a Football match with my son a couple of weeks back. Not only was I not expecting the Banksy piece, but this thread installation by Perspicere was a superb bonus.

It was a dark and foggy evening when we were passing by, and I dare say that this piece is probably best viewed in daylight. The threads, suspended from the edges of the board, combine to make out  a mature oak tree in a field, casting a long shadow. It is a wonderful composition and another beauty from the artist who uses this specialist technique. Another unexpected joy.

This is a stunning piece of graffiti writing by Smak, incorporating a landscape view, framed in a wide rectangle. It is similar to a piece that he painted on the M32 roundabout a little while ago. I have a feeling that this piece was from around the same time, but I have only recently got round to photographing and posting it.

The letters ‘SMAK’ are concealed, and I have to say I am assuming they are there rather than knowing that they are there. Within the overall design, there are fragments of a tropical paradise and plenty of palm tree references throughout. This is a truly classy piece from a very classy artist.
