127. The Bearpit (3)

This is another wonderful Tom Miller from The Bearpit. It is called ‘Together’.

I love his ‘Imaginite’ concept, and have always been a fan of the surrealists. His works look a bit like Yves Tanguy meets Jackson Pollock with some Magritte thrown in…or something like that.

82. Stokes Croft, the carriageworks (2)

This mural recently (Nov/Dec 2015) appeared on the frequently renewed wall at the carriageworks in Stokes Croft.

It is one of the more unusual works I have seen in the area. Surreal, and beautifully sprayed. It is outstanding.

It appears to me signed by Miller, or Millen or something like that, but I have drawn a blank on any information about the artist. If anyone knows who it might be, please let me know and I will update the post.

As with all works here, it will be gone soon, sprayed over by another artist, so I am glad to have captured this curiosity.

UPDATE – after some more research I have discovered that the artist is Tom Miller, a recent graduate of the University West of England. He has produced some wild prints and I am very tempted to buy one.
