Mr Sce and Buser have collaborated before in Bristol, in pretty much this exact spot, from recollection. This time they were part of a wider paint jam which had something of a jungle theme, which has carried through into these pieces beautifully.

This blue and gold macaw, by Mr Sce is a beauty. Parrots of all types are a favourite of street artists, and when I have run out of new material to share I can do special posts featuring parrots or dogs or cats or specific cartoon characters – food for thought. Mr Sce has captured the attitude of this macaw really well, and done a great job.

Buser paints in Bristol a littler more often than Mr Sce, but still isn’t quite what I’d call a regular. This is a tidy piece of writing full of colour and surrounded by a variety of tropical plants and flowers. Very nice work indeed from the pait.

This wonderful collaboration piece alongside the Bristol Avon came as a complete surprise. I am familiar with Buser, but I have never seen anything by Mr SCE before and assume that he was visiting.

The combination collaboration shares some commonality with the orange blast around the writing and portrait. Buser’s letters are well crafted although the colour combination is a little too overpowering for me, and there is quite a lot of brown in there. I am beginning to wonder if brown is the colour of 2025.

The two-tone portrait by Mr SCE is beautifully painted and it is a bit of a shame that it is so off the beaten track, although it is likely to remain here longer than in some of the more accessible spots in Bristol. Such is the quality of this portrait, that I will certainly be looking out for Mr SCE’s work in the future.
