It has been a while since I last posted anything by Kid Krishna. I think he has spent a while out of town and only returned a few weeks ago. I have seen one or two of his simple CRIE pieces, but this is the first more ‘arty’ work I have seen for ages.

In this comboination piece, we see some characterful writing in white, bordered and detailed in red, and in the middle of the letters a curious yellow hand (with legs) holding a smiling ball. I am not at all sure what all of this means, but certainly enjoy the creativity. Great to have Kid Krishna back on the streets of Bristol.

Although Kid Krishna is going through one of his slower periods at the moment, it provides me with a little space to catch up on his work. This is a cracking piece on one of the less pleasant walls to paint, but, because of that, turnover tends to be quite slow. The ‘flowerbed’ is used as a public toilet, and there is a nasty piece of razor wire that has been deposited some years ago and never dealt with.

It is difficult to make out the letters CRIE in this piece, but I have to take it on trust that they are there. The pink letters appear to be breaking their way through a purple cloud, and then there is a little character, an eye with limbs and wings adding further interest to the dynamic piece. I was there yesterday and it is still intact.
