Good morning. Despite a relatively quiet year, Hypo is always capable of turning out great pieces, and it is always a pleasure to come across one of them. This was painted as part of a small paint jam in honour of Donz’ birthday (I think).

Stepping back from this piece, I can almost imagine it is a fragmemnt of a chrome car bumper, with reflections of the blue sky in the top half and the sandy dirt along the bottom half (is it just me that sees this?). The natural colours are arranged in horizontal strips through the letters HYPO, and are liberally sprinkled with little red spheres in the interstitial spaces. Black spots and icicle drips round the piece of nicely. More apperances by Posh characters dancing around the outside.

In my book, this is an absolutely fantastic piece of writing from Posh. The letters, which I think might read POSH, but it is impossible to know because they are so disguised, are accompanied by several of his imp-like posh characters.

There is a wonderful balance to the writing and characters, and the colour selections for the letters contrast nicely with the little yellow folk. There haven’t been too many pieces by Posh that I have seen this year, so this was a bit of a treat.

Greetings from Greece. After a very long travelling day we have arrived, and I am stealing a few moments before my wife and daughter have woken up to write a couple of quick posts. This is a beautifully balanced combination collaboration by Posh and Zeks.

The writing in the centre is by Posh. I might assume that is spells POSH, but I am more likely mistaken. His writing is so beautifully complex, with outstanding fills and connectivity, taking on a sketch-like quality. He has even included a little character face to the right. The decorative ‘towers’ around the writing are by Zeks, whose newly found zest for painting them, I imagine, might have only just begun. A lovely collaboration in modest tones. Great fun.

I haven’t seen too many pieces by Posh in 2026, but this one in the tunnel, painted as part of a birthday paint jam for Donz, is an absolute belter. Posh at his best in my opinion.

Im not sure what the delicate yellow patterned letters spell, but they are quite beguiling. The interstitial space is filled with a lovely blue and he has painted a thin 3D drop shadow to provide depth. The doodle clouds finish the piece expertly. All the elements of this piece are well balanced in design, colour and tone. A sensational piece of graffiti writing.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
