Tera has exploded onto the Bristol street art scene in a matter of only weeks. The tattooist (by trade) has only recently picked up spray cans under the watchful eye of Kid Crayon and is already creating some impressive productions, that are not only ambitious, but also really well executed. Some people are born naturals, and Tera is definitely one of them.

At the entrance to St Werburghs tunnel, this is an awesome ‘horror’ piece that has so much to admire about it. The greyscale central character and hooded figures are brought to life with the green glow, which works exceptionally on the skull’s face as part of the overall shading. Tera describes this as a toxic medieval zombie fella – well, it works for me.

3020. Dean Lane skate park (326)

The lock down easing has in my view been far to rapid and aggressively in favour of the economy, and I fear that we will pay for it further down the line, however these things are finely balanced. One of the upsides has been the productivity of street artists whose collective energy was paused for three months. Now, I simply can’t keep up. Many pieces are gone by the time I go to photograph them. I got this one by Hire though and glad that I did.

As always, the spiky medieval style, that reminds me of a battle in full swing with swords and pikes clashing, spells out HIRE. The blended orange fills are very nicely done, and I rather like the (deliberate) fragmented white edging… an unusual touch. Oh, so much great art to share, but it is difficult to do it on two posts a day.
