I have seen a few pieces by Mysto about the place recently, and feel like I might have seen work by the artist before in Bristol, but I’d have to go back through my archives (an impossible job) to be certain. There is something very captivating about these large letters and how they are presented.

The most striking thing about this piece, on first inspection, is the overall diamond shape within which the letters ‘MYSTO’ sit. The 3D ‘barcode’ shadow is consistent and lifts the letters very neatly. The highlight is the beautiful fill work which seamlessly blends three tones of green in horizontal layers across the piece. This is a nice accomplished piece of graffiti writing from Mysto.
