Mesk, Peel Street Green, Bristol, August 2026

Mesk is in a great rhythm, producing at least one or two pieces a month, either alone or collaborating with others. His distinctive large letters, spelling MESK, need no signature, as his style is quite distinctive.

The yellow appearance of the letters in this piece is a clever bit of work, because it is only the top layer of the letters that is actually yellow, the next two layers being green and olive, but which look like shaded yellow. The whole thing is set on two backgrounds… a black buffed wall and a blue frame, both of which contribute to helping the letters stand out. Some nice drips, highlight starbursts and tidy drop shadow round off the piece very neatly indeed.

Hemper, Peel Street Green, Bristol, July 2026

A year or two back Hemper was smashing out pieces on a ridiculously regular rhythm, but since then has been a little quieter, although I have noticed a slight increase in his activity over the last couple of months. His work is always of such quality and class that it is always a pleasure to his pieces.

This one in Peel Street Green, picks up on a theme he has used before, of a chequered background, looking almost like a tablecloth, over which is painted a rather crude, but beautifully worked piece of bubble writing spelling HEMS. The yellow letters , drips and all contrast brilliantly with the backdrop. The message “Instagram makes you moody” possibly speaks to all of us. A very nice piece.

ARSA, Peel Street Green, Bristol, July 2026

This is a rather nicely presented piece from ARSA that perfectly fits the wall and the surroundings. One of the things that strikes me is the fact that the grass is still green in this picture, but blistering heat and dry weather for much of June and the whole of July have rendered this green a brown now.

The calculated symmetry of this piece, with a couple of deviations, is admirable. The fill colours have been thoughtfully applied in horizontal layers, but with hard edges between each colour. ARSA’s work tends to be quite angular and sharp, and I can’t recall seeing a soft, rounded piece with blended fills by him – now that would be a challenge…

210, Peel Street Green, Bristol, July 2026

I am so pleased to be able to post this piece by 210. Pleased because I have many of his pieces in my archive, but until recently didn’t know his name. Now I have to go back and dig some of his other works out, because to my eye this is fantastic. The artist can often be found painting alongside, ARSA, RBN One and Mesk. I don’t know much more about him yet, but will try to find out.

The bilaterally symmetrical piece is so easy on the eye. Although the pattern is quite complex, there is a softness and clarity to it that steers clear of being ‘too clever for its own good’ which some technical pieces can be at risk of falling into. The colour selection works exceptionally well, even if they aren’t my favourites. A really classy piece by 210. Watch this space as I attempt to unlock some more from my archives.

Sub, Peel Street Green, Bristol, June 2026

Sub is one of the more prolific writers in Bristol, and hardly a day goes by when I don’t see one of his pieces somewhere around the city. This is a reasonably recent one from the long wall at Peel Street Green.

There is a rather nice steely quality to the fill in these SUB letters and the letter surface has a bit of an iridescent sheen, reminiscent of a Pigeon’s breast feathers. Sub has played a little with the letter designs which are veering a little towards a calligraphy script. Nice piece from a hard worker.

Vermo, Peel Street Green, Bristol, May 2026

I believe Vermo to be one of the most unusual graffiti writers I have come across. His letters are separated by space and appear as hovering ‘bubbles’ which are connected only by the void between them.

This technique lends itself very well to being slapped onto any wall, regardless of what already exists there, without the need to prep the wall or buff it. In this combination piece, the letters are accompanied by a little character pointing, in the bottom left-hand corner. There is white plasma bolt running across the piece, which at first glance might look a bit like the piece has been dogged, but it is definitely part of the composition. Something different from Vermo.

Biers, Peel Street Green, Bristol, April 2026

In socialising his new moniker, Biers appears to have found a new energy for his graffiti writing, which is great as I know he was struggling a little to find his mojo a little while back. The RABIES letters seem to work nicely and have gone down well.

This is a really classy chrome burner that is nicely proportioned to fit the wall section. The monotony of the chrome is offset by the orange border and red bubble surround, which add a fiery appearance to the piece. I am very much enjoying these letters and Biers’ resurgence.

Zake, Peel Street Green, Bristol, January 2026

This character piece from Zake almost feels like a throwback to some of his earlier work, which focussed on just the head of a character. Of course, his style has developed since then , but this piece is uncluttered by other ideas and incorporations.

This wall is a particularly good spot for character artists, because it is too square for graffiti writers. As ever, Zake has created a face with so much depth created with clever use of shades and tones, and some subtle white flashes. Great grinning work.

Zinso, Peel Street Green, Bristol, November 2025

Another quick one from me, as my time is a little compressed. Zinso is becoming one of the most productive writers in Bristol at the moment, and turning out some impressively clean pieces, like this one.

There is so much to admire here, the colour selection, the fill patterns and the explosive yellow flashes surrounding the piece. First class work.

Bloem, Peel Street Green, Bristol, December 2025

I can think of few artists I would rather post on my birthday than Bloem. I have enjoyed her emergence and development so much over the last couple of years and I genuinely can’t think of a much better birthday present.

This is a stunning mural piece, beautifully crafted, full of all the things you’d expect from Bloem… hands with long nails, chains and flowers. I suspect there is loads of conscious or unconscious symbolism here, but I’ll not attempt to analyse it. The split between the two colour schemes of pink and blue is expertly worked. All in all this is a stunner. Bravo!
