Fossil hunting in Bracklesham Bay is a passion of mine.
15. Leonard Lane (2)
Tucked away in Leonard Lane on a white plank of wood is this unusual piece of street art by Wolfskulljack. It would appear from her Facebook page that street art is a bit of a departure from her usual illustrations.
Wolfskulljack interestingly misspelled her name on the signature, which made me doubt its authenticity, but it is definitely hers.
This is the first time I have seen her street work and I suspect, given that she is an illustrator, that there won’t be too much more. She comes from Cheltenham and who knows, maybe if she does get a taste for street art, we’ll see more of it in Bristol.
A mysterious and beautifully detailed drawing

14. Leonard Lane (1)
I have found a very rich seam of fabulous wildlife street art in a tiny little lane in the centre of Bristol. I stumbled upon this by accident, and only now on searching the interweb, have found out that it is a very recent initiative organised by Human Nature.
This will be the first of several posts from Leonard Lane.
One of the most striking images in the lane is a beautiful stencil of a dodo by Stewy, another Bristol street artist, who works in Bristol, London, Brighton and Manchester amongst other cities.
There are strong influences from Banksy in his work, and I particularly like the choice of site for the work. there is another of his stencils in the lane which I will come back to in another post.
This is a perfect storm for me… a street full of wildlife street art.
