Following on directly from the previous post, here is another wonderful piece from the concrete sprawl under the M32. This is by 3Dom from back in September 2016, and you might get a flavour of what he thinks of it from a hashtag he used on his Instagram feed: #skullsareprettyboringafterawhile.
This work by Soker goes back to the lovely late summer days of September 2016. The colours are suitably striking, and the writing typical of Soker’s style
I’m not sure why it has taken me so long to post this piece, because I rather like it, and in an archive of pictures it leaps out at you. It is here now though and that should be enough.
This piece is the second I have posted from a Halloween session down at the M32 junction3 roundabout by the ASK crew. The first was an unusual piece from Epok and this one is by SledOne.
SledOne has incorporated a pumpkin into his wildstyle name and absolutely nails this piece, as he has a tendency to do. The colour palette matches the other participants in this session, which would appear to have been a lot of fun. My apologies it has taken so long to report.
Taking a quick look back to Haloween last year and a gathering of several street artists from the ASK crew, who produced several pieces with ghoulish themes. This one is from Epok and unusually for him included a rather good character of Frankenstein’s monster.
The colour selections are up to his usual high standards and the letters mistily disguised, which is a bit of a departure from his trademark strong shapes and sharp lines. I like this piece very much as it demonstrates the range of Epok’s work. I am just sorry that I didn’t have time to post it last year.
I have said enough about how great Sled One is, so I’ll not dwell on repeating myself, but simply show you some pictures I took earlier in the Summer of one of his awesome pieces.
As with many of his murals, there is a story to be told here, but his stories always seem to be a little obscure, and I’ll be damned if I can figure them out.
His cartoon style of creating animals has a dream-like quality to it. Always beautifully sprayed, but something slightly weird in their looks or mannerisms.
In this piece we see a cat and a mouse, the latter of which bears a resemblance to the character Scrat from the Ice Age films. The mouse is running off with cheese, but the cat looks like he’s having none of it.
This is a fun piece from Bristol’s best.
Another fine example of wildstyle writing down at the M32 roundabout by the inexhaustible Sled One. This piece has a metallic look to it, not only in the colour palette but also in the angular nature of the lettering and embellishment.
I have probably said as much as I need to in previous posts about how much I admire the work of Sled One. Always beautifully executed, never ever disappointing.
Another nice piece by Deamze on the M32 roundabout wall, on the St Pauls side, from back in July 2016. It is quite an unusual piece, rather stylised and reminiscent of stained glass.
This interesting piece by Deamze was most likely sprayed at the same time as this awesome work by Voyder. They often work together, and the two pieces were close to one another on the same wall.
This Deamze piece is intricate and skillfully worked and has the trademark cartoon element woven into the work. The face reminds me of one of the characters from the Beezer comic, or was it Beano…it is the top lip that does it. The Bash Street kids?
Deamze continues to delight with his work dotted around the city, although only those with their eyes open will enjoy it.
This is the first of two recent works by Voyder that mark him out as one of the truly outstanding graffiti writers in Bristol. This piece of writing, set to his typical hand-writing style, shows off his incredible use of colours, providing an effect that makes the whole thing look like it is illuminated.
I have said before when writing about Voyder that it is great to see his work in an accessible setting, as many of his grand pieces are sprayed in derelict buildings where one requires more guts than I have to enter such places. I love this work.
This is an old one by 3Dom that still remains rather majestic despite some weathering. It can be found on the cycle path that runs alongside the M32 between the two roundabouts and is fairly inconspicuous.
Although an old piece, it has many of the dream-like oddities that are common to 3Dom’s work. I am really rather fond of this one.
