Posh – Natural adventures

7482. M32 roundabout J3 (743)

Desi and Posh, M32 roundabout, Bristol, February 2026

Here we have a lovely Desi piece which reverts back to her DESI letters, rather than her VEIL letters that she has been favouring in recent months. If you look closely, you will notice that she has been joined with an impish addition by Posh.

Desi’s letters are filled with four shades of purple containing reversed out spots through the colour courses. The letters are finished well with a black drop shadow and fine yellow border.

Posh, M32 roundabout, Bristol, February 2026

The addition of a Posh character exclaiming the words ‘eh up’, perhaps betraying a Derbyshire or Yorkshire origin, is a bonus bit of fun. Different artists, different styles, most likely painted at different times.

7354. St Werburghs tunnel (555)

Posh, St Werburghs, Bristol, November 2025

Another amazing piece of detailed sketchy writing from Posh, this time as part of the Minto Birthday paint jam. Once again, I can see letter shapes here, but really struggle to be able to read them. I could assume that they might say Posh, but Who knows?

There are some nice earthy colours in this piece, but it is the sketchy scribbles and details that mark this out as a Posh piece. Nice script shout-outs to Minto and Ticks. I expect to see more of these in the new year.

7349. M32 Spot (210)

There are a lot of contenders for surging artist of the year in Bristol, and what I mean by that is artists who have been about a while, but taken huge steps forward in 2025. Candidates would include, Zinso, Asre, Creamylines and of course, Posh.

In the latter half of the year, Posh appears to have been concentrating on his graffiti writing. His style is difficult to pin down, but I would describe it as ‘busy abstract scribble’. It is obvious that there are some letters here, but far less obvious what those letters might be. Posh likes to work with darkish colours, and has used this blue/green combination a few times recently. This is a nice piece, tucked away in a corner of the M32 spot.

7294. St Werburghs tunnel (539)

Posh, St Werburghs, Bristol, October 2025

Posh’s work has been something of a revelation this year. He manages to maintain a house-style which is like an elaborate sketch/scribble with both his graffiti writing and his character pieces. He also has a knack for inserting his characters large or small into places, seemingly just for the hell of it.

This piece features a couple of Posh’s finest caricature characters, with bow ties, top hats, canes and monocles. They represent the epitome of poshness, which is exactly what he is setting out to do and does so well. There is so much life in the piece, and we can only imagine what hollow conversation is going on between the pair. Great work by Posh.

7201. M32 roundabout J3 (718)

Posh, M32 roundabout, Bristol, September 2025

Posh has been on fire since the spring, and it has been a pure joy to see the wide range of characters and writing from the artist over that time. His style is rather unusual, and probably best described as a form of paint sketch work, incorporating tons of busy detail… perhaps the sign of a busy mind.

I think these heavily disguised letters spell POSH, although they could pretty much spell anything. The complexity and depth of the piece is quite mind-boggling, with layer upon layer of detail. I rather like the subtle shift of colour two-thirds of the way through the piece, with brassy tones. Fabulous work from Posh.

7150. M32 roundabout J3 (705)

Posh, M32 roundabout, Bristol, August 2025

I would say that 2025 has been the year when Posh upgraded from being a bit-part player to a fully fledged star of the Bristol street art scene. His occasional little characters have developed into a diverse range of larger combination pieces that show off his unquestionable talent.

In this piece Posh has combined his mischievous toffee-nosed imps with some unusual writing, which I can’t read, both in his sketchy style. The writing is full of colour and movement and quite unlike any other graffiti writing I have seen before. His characters continue to amuse, and I particularly like the fellow riding the bicycle. This piece is clear evidence of Posh’s growth and development.

7146. L Dub (79)

This is something a little different from Posh, demonstrating that he is so much more than a one-trick pony with his little posh characters. This is a magnificent Catwoman action hero piece – although I have never quite worked out if Catwoman was a hero or a villain – I haven’t paid enough attention.

There is so much movement and activity in the piece, created by the swirls of yellow patterns all around the character. The Catwoman character herself is really well portrayed, with lots of perspective and depth, and of course her long whip for good measure. Posh is a busy man these days, and has had a purple patch this summer.

7131. L Dub (77)

Posh has without doubt flourished this summer, turning his occasional small doodles into lively vibrant pieces filled with his mischievous top-hatted, monocled characters, these painted at L Dub, a spot that Posh seems to rather enjoy.

I love Posh’s style that has a sketchbook quality to it, with a lot of action crammed in and plenty to occupy the viewer as you uncover layer after layer of story. There is some highly decorated writing that underpins the whole piece, but I am not too sure what is spells out. I could easily see these little rascals forming the central thread of illustrated children’s picture books. Great work.

7119. Boiling Wells Lane (4)

Noise and Posh, Boiling Wells Lane, Bristol, August 2025

This was a bit of a find, and is a collaboration between Posh and Noise, not a pairing that I would necessarily have expected, but welcome nonetheless. Tucked away in a tunnel that is infrequently painted, but has recently come alive, this is a collaboration that won’t get as much exposure as it certainly deserves.

Noise has painted some of his chunky letters with superbly worked horizontal fills and a rather nice midline in pink, which helps to add depth and interest. The ‘O’ of NOISE has been commandeered by Posh and brings together two very different styles.

Posh, Boiling Wells Lane, Bristol, August 2025

Posh has upped his game this year significantly and either works on his own, or in collaborations or augments other artist’s work, demonstrating his versatility. He has framed his little yellow posh characters within the boundary of the ‘O’, and created quite a scene, which seems to include a skateboarding kangaroo? A really unusual and fun collaboration.

7103. Sparke Evans Park (139)

Dirtygypo and Posh, Sparke Evans Park, Bristol, July 2025

Although this superb piece of graffiti writing from Dirtygypo isn’t really a collaboration, it does have a cheeky collaborative element from the inclusion of one of Posh’s distinctive characters, of which there appears to have been an outbreak of across Bristol in the last couple of months.

As with many of Dirtygypo’s pieces, each of the letters are assigned a different colour and the word it interspersed with bolts of lightening. I won’t drift into trying to interpret the word this time, I’ll simply have to wait until I meet him to find an answer. All good stuff, and another fine piece from Dirtygypo.
