Really quick ones today. I am unexpectedly dropping my son and a friend off at Heathrow this morning after a last minute change of plans, so am very short of time to write posts. This is a rather nice one from Mage on the roundabout.

Mage has had an incredible 2025, and his work can be seen absolutely everywhere in Bristol. It seems as if he is on a mission. The quality of his work is variable, but his energy and enthusiasm unmatched. This is a bit of a beauty, with his angular letter shapes, but those fills are to die for. Excellent stuff.

Zbomb, M32 roundabout, Bristol, March 2025

This is rather a nice tidy piece from Zbomb painted as part of a collaborative wall with Hemper and Hypo, I seem to recollect, although it was from way back in March and my memory is not what it used to be.

His name is n appropriate description of his work, a letter Z and a cartoon style bomb. His work is often less polished than this one, which demonstrates that when he takes the time he is more than capable of turning out something rather good. A fun piece from Zbomb.

Bags and Biers, M32 roundabout, Bristol, November 2025

During the second half of 2025, there has been a definite uptick in the number of pieces painted by Bags and Biers, the latter of which appears to have rediscovered his mojo after a fallow period. These two have paired up numerous times in the past, and combine their styles nicely in this piece by adopting a shared colour scheme.

The No Frills pair have gone for chrome writing on a dark blue background, with Bags adding a bit more curvature to his letters than normal. He has included some nice apostrophe drops.

Biers has written his heavily disguised WD40 letters and added several red inverted crosses for decoration. He too has included some tear-drop apostrophes, something that is quite a theme for the No Frills crew. All good stuff and a nice way to round off the year.

Logoe, M32 roundabout, Bristol, November 2025
Logoe, M32 roundabout, Bristol, November 2025

This year, Logoe’s visits to Bristol have been less frequent, and he hasn’t been blitzing the streets as much as he has done in the past, which, from my point of view, makes things a little more manageable. This is a nice piece painted recently on the M32 roundabout.

This is a lovely piece of script writing in yellow, with a deep purple drop shadow. But the piece is more than just the writing; the whole wall contributes to the outcome, with a blue background incorporating vertical rows of spots transitioning into vertical lines on the far right-hand end and a liberal scattering of signature oval spots running horizontally through the letters. Altogether a pleasing piece of script graffiti writing from Logoe.

Mage, M32 roundabout, Bristol, November 2025
Mage, M32 roundabout, Bristol, November 2025

Mage used to write under a different name, and then went for something completely different. I’m not sure that he could have picked four more difficult letters to write, especially in their capitalised format… lots of lines, angles and complication. Maybe that was the challenge.

This is a well presented chrome piece with a nice deep blue drop shadow, set on a green splash. All neat and tidy, but what lifts this piece to a different level is the wonderful string of spots in yellow and purple, running through each of the letters, without which the piece would probably feel quite basic. A lovely idea well executed.

Sub, M32 roundabout, Bristol, November 2025

Sub’s improvement over the last couple of years is marked, and his persistence admirable. He paints regularly and in lots of different spots, constantly refining his technique and turning out some distinctive pieces.

In this piece, his blended fill is really well done, transitioning seamlessly from grey to turquoise. He has also managed to achieve a fascinating cloudy pink line running through his letters, a great effect. I think that these letters have slightly softer edges than some of his previous pieces, and it is a good look. Clean, tidy with interesting ideas… what’s not to like?

Serm, M32 roundabout, Bristol, November 2025
Serm, M32 roundabout, Bristol, November 2025

Serm is a Bristol graffiti writer whose work I don’t get to see all that often, and I think he is probably on the lower end of the productivity scale. His quality, however, shines through, and it is always great to see his pieces when they do appear.

This is a fine red and white piece (colours close to my heart) spelling out SERM, which has a few small hints at Halloween, the biggest of which is the ‘happy Halloween’ message bottom left, and a scattering of bats and bloody drips. His 3D drop shadow is customarily deep, and it looks like he was running low on grey-white paint, an occupational hazard for graffiti/street artists. Another fine piece to add to his gallery.

Roma, M32 roundabout, Bristol, November 2025
Roma, M32 roundabout, Bristol, November 2025

Although I have posted a couple of pieces by Roma before, I know little about the artist. There is something rather pleasing about the letter shapes, or perhaps it is simply the connection and love I have for the city of Rome.

This is a nicely presented chrome piece with a deep drop shadow in red and thin black border. The ‘o’ of ROMA is a little skull. The writing is nicely decorated with a small wave of blue stars and spots running horizontally through the letters. A rather nicely considered sand presented piece.

Hypo, M32 roundabout, Bristol, September 2025

There is not a lot more I can say about Hypo that I haven’t said in numerous previous posts. He has upped his game considerably over the last two years or so, both in terms of quality and quantity of pieces. During that time he has jumped up a couple of levels, which you can see if you take a glance at this revised gallery of his work.

Hypo, M32 roundabout, Bristol, September 2025
Hypo, M32 roundabout, Bristol, September 2025

In this piece, Hypo uses loads of colours, indicating that it could be a ‘dregs’ piece (one which uses up what is left in spray cans) although, Hypo typically does like to use a wide range of colours. Some of his recent pieces have incorporated small spheres for decoration, and they do a great job of adding something a little extra in this work. More magnificent graffiti writing from Hypo.

Noise, M32 roundabout, Bristol, October 2025
Noise, M32 roundabout, Bristol, October 2025

Although the letters in this piece are a little skinnier than one might expect from Noise, they are nonetheless unmistakably his. Of course, the fact that the letters spell NOISE removes any doubt whatsoever about the artist.

I would say that this is, in my view, one of Noise’s best pieces yet. By thinning his letters, he has created more scope for borders and intricate design, that perhaps his fatter letters restrict a little. The two tones of red and orange throughout are beautifully blended, and perfectly offset by the light blue border highlight. Even the grey buffed wall has been disrupted and made more interesting with some cracks. A really nice piece.
