520. Partition Street (2)

It has been a long while since I saw anything new from Silent Hobo, and this one is mercifully close to where I work, so taking a look is a daily occurrence. This will actually be the first of two posts on this piece, as it is unfinished in these pictures, and was completed about a week later.

I have to say that it feels a little incongruous being so close to the Zesk piece next to it as the styles are quite different, but considering it on its own, it is a lovely piece.

The hashtag #standwithscotty is a reference to Scotty Cranmer, a BMX professional cyclist who earlier on this year had a very bad accident. He is making a slow recovery, and for all updates on his progress, you can look at the link.

Look out for the update when this character will be joined by his posse.

I have visited the Three Tuns pub on many occasions. A few years ago it was an office favourite for farewell dos – at that time the public sector was being hit by harsh cuts, and many of my friends lost their jobs. It may become a favoured venue again as further cuts are in train for this year.

This cheerful mural by Zesk has appeared very recently (Early January 2016) and is something of a departure from his usual wildstyle burners. As with many of the street artists in Bristol, Zesk has close links with the hip hop music scene. There is little more I can tell you about him, but he keeps his Flickr account up to date.

There is something about this piece that reminds me of some of Inkie’s work. I think it will grow on me, especially as I will walk past it most days.
