Billy, M32 roundabout, Bristol, March 2026

One of the great pleasures of doing what I do is enjoying the vast spectrum of different styles and approaches to street/graffiti art that it is possible to see in Bristol. Billy is the creator of wonderful bright child-like illustrations that are so welcoming and upbeat.

In this political commentary piece, a dog is holding a peace symbol in its paws and a flower in its mouth, while a war scene unfolds in the background. A very sad reflection of the state of the world at the moment. The words ‘old dog, new tricks’ suggests to me that you can’t teach an old dog (Trump/USA/Israel/Iran) new tricks (peace, negotiation, compromise).

Conrico, M32 roundabout, Bristol, March 2026

I have already said several times this year that Conrico is on fire, and with this piece he continues to confirm my assertion. I believe that this gorgeous landscape piece was painted as part of a collaboration paint jam to celebrate Kid Crayon’s birthday.

There is a calmness about this view, and a sense of early spring created by the presence of meadow flowers and tree blossom, most likely reflecting a Japanese landscape, with a small hut or temple in the foreground. The brush-stroke quality of the piece which has a little bit of Monet about it. Superb work from Conrico.

RBN One, M32 roundabout, Bristol, March 2026

I was lucky enough to meet RBN One while he was painting this piece alongside Corupt. I couldn’t recall seeing his work before, but it turns out on closer inspection of my archives that I have seen his work, but never posted it because I didn’t know who he was. RBN One hails from the Chippenham area if I remember correctly, and comes to Bristol every once in a while.

The letters spell ‘ARBIEN’ – spoken phonetically as RBN… clever stuff. The whole thing is quite beautiful. His letters are clean and clear, filled with a variety of spots, shapes and lines. His drop shadow is flawless, and serves to lift the piece from the wall. All in all a feast for the eyes. Expect to see more here soon.

Zeks, M32 roundabout, Bristol, March 2026

Zeks has been quite visible recently, which has to be good news. His unusual style is rather refreshing and very particular to the artist. This piece was painted as part of a broader paint jam a few weeks back.

The zig-zaggy letters in white and blue, decorated with simple reversed out crosses, carry a deep black and yellow drop shadow, to the left. The letters sit on a nicely buffed wall and are immediately surrounded by some pink and purple spots. The tree to the left is by Conrico – more on this in a following post.

Merny, M32 roundabout, Bristol, March 2026

I really like Merny’s art and his naïve style combined with themes that span politics, humour, rants and tenderness. This witty piece illustrates a well known phrase ‘he’s lost his marbles’ with a bit of a twist.

I still have all my childhood marbles, but none of them are as attractive as these. Some beautiful colour combinations in these marbles, and he has captured the glass twists in the middle of some of them really well. The words ‘There they are’ tells us that he has found his marbles. Quite charming.

I am reminded of a chilling recollection. As a child, I would often see how many marbles I could fit in my mouth – what was I thinking? But then again children often don’t think.

Kid Crayon, M32 roundabout, Bristol, March 2026

Because I observe and write about street art in Bristol on a near-daily basis, I become familiar with some of the little markers and themes laid down by artists either in the content of their work or in their style. In my rambled writings I try to point out some of these details that casual onlookers might miss. I guess that is part of what this blog is all about.

Kid Crayon is a favourite of mine and an artist I have been writing about for more than ten years. This is a wonderful, colourful combination piece, where the letters, in a range of colours, spell out CRAYON, where the ‘O’ is a character face with a party hat. Kid Crayon is very fond of party hats, which make an appearance from time to time in his work – this one has additional relevance as this was a birthday celebration paint jam. Great to see that the character has a crayon floating in front of his mouth, a signature emblem of KC’s work.

Zed in the Clouds, M32 roundabout, Bristol, March 2026

It would seem that every time I feature a piece by Zed in the Clouds, I find myself repeating that he is somewhat underrepresented on the pages of Natural Adventures.

This one was perhaps just too ‘noisy’ I had to include it. The chrome combination piece with a character on the left, and the letters ZED, contrast perfectly with the orange and red ‘flame’ background, which looking at it might have been from a former occupant of this wall. I think that the Zed in the Clouds piece is bounded by the blue outline, and includes the hand on the right.

Biers, M32 roundabout, Bristol, March 2026

December, January and February were very wet months in England, and as a result artists had difficulty getting out to paint. My archives for those months were thin to say the least. I can happily report that the improved weather in March means that I have a host of pieces to share, some of which won’t make it beyond the cutting room floor which is regrettable.

One artist who has emerged from a sleepy winter is Biers, who has reinvented his letters for 2026 which read RABIES. I rather like what he has done here and will be looking out for more from him. This is a really nicely worked and tidy piece of writing, keeping the basics tight – good letter shapes, good drop shadow and lovely consistent thin yellow border. Biers has even set the piece nicely on a green cloud background with spots. A classy piece of graffiti writing.

Bags, M32 roundabout, Bristol, March 2026

Bags really doesn’t get enough attention in Natural Adventures, and I think I have many of his pieces lurking in my archives. I have tried to present more of his pieces lately, and this is a rather nice recent one on the roundabout.

I am not a fan of brown, but there is enough red and black to offset this colour preference (or lack of it) that I have. The letter shapes are easy on the eye, and the white drop shadow and grey cloudy background with spots round the whole piece off nicely. Great stuff from the No Frills crew member.

Logoe, M32 roundabout, Bristol, March 2026

Logoe has been back in Bristol for a visit, and is usually the case when he comes, he has gifted us several new pieces dotted about the place. You can be reasonably certain that when you find one Logoe piece, you will find more.

This is a rather lovely example of his script writing and typical of many of his pieces. His letters are filled with ling blue vertical stripes, and are given some depth with a shallow black drop shadow. The letters are set on a decorative orange background and festooned with Logoe’s trademark oval spots. Welcome back.
