- Yesterday I discovered the unlikeliest patch of orchids sandwiched 30 meters from two major motorways. Untroubled by interference, these beautiful pyramidal orchids were thriving. A truly wonderful and unexpected find.

More from L Dub, this time by Donz, who, like Dun Sum, seems to favour this spot over any of the other Bristol graffiti haunts. Donz is notable for his colourful pieces that use strong and contrasting colours that he works well together.
The letters in this piece are nicely done, and I particularly like the orange star over the ‘O’ of DONZ. Donz has taken care with the presentation of the piece, starting with a nicely buffed white wall and an interesting yellow glow around the letters. I see, all of a sudden a fried egg, and once seen it can’t be unseen (sorry). The letters are finished with a deep two-tone 3D drop shadow, to help the letters pop. A colourful extravaganza.
7019. L Dub (67)
I have to keep reminding myself what ABC stands for, and it is, of course, Art Beat Crew, which is a collection of friends and artists who operate mostly out of Lawrence Weston. This is a really funky cartoon-style portrait piece by the fabulous character artist Dun Sum.
Although he occasionally makes the journey into Bristol centre, Dun Sum paints most of his pieces on the subway walls in Lawrence Weston. It is a quiet backwater, with plenty of wall space and little disturbance. It also has a very small footfall, mainly graffiti artists and dog-walkers, so few get to see his talent. This is a beautifully presented character with big hair and beard, although cleverly Dun Sum has painted the moustache and eyebrows in a slightly different tone and style. Reflections in the goggles add a nice touch. A bit of fun from Dun Sum at L Dub.
