Script – Natural adventures

7392. Dean Lane skate park (893)

Logoe and Mamil, Dean Lane, Bristol, December 2025

A recent visit to Bristol by Logoe and Mamil has caused a bit of a stir. The artists are not residents of Bristol, and are not so very much in touch with the wall protocols. Unfortunately, they painted over a tribute wall to Dorns under Brunel Way, and the piece was immediately tagged as being disrespectful. Another of their collaborations in St Werburghs was given the same treatment. It can be a jungle out there, and it is often advisable not to paint over a tribute piece, or anything that you might believe is a tribute.

I am familiar with the blitz visits of Logoe over recent years, but Mamil is new to me, and it looks like Logoe has found a kindred spirit script graffiti writer. This is a proper collaboration with a shared house sty;e in terms of colours and background. Both artists have adopted a script style, but Mamil’s is, in this example, finer than Logoe’s, and is in the form of a bicycle. Clever stuff. More to come from this pair, and their tagged pieces are shown below.

Nice One, Stokes Croft, Bristol, December 2025

Some artists can be a little cheeky with their placements and some take that cheekiness to a new level by adding in adventure, whether on railways, derelict buildings or as in this case high up on buildings. Nice One has a record of going high.

I remember when there was scaffolding on this building, and Nice One taking advantage of the opportunity. His Times New Roman font (or similar) seems to work rather well on this building, and probably goes unnoticed by most folk, as people tend not to look up when they tread the streets. Nice one, Nice One.

7331. M32 roundabout J3 (730)

Logoe, M32 roundabout, Bristol, November 2025

This year, Logoe’s visits to Bristol have been less frequent, and he hasn’t been blitzing the streets as much as he has done in the past, which, from my point of view, makes things a little more manageable. This is a nice piece painted recently on the M32 roundabout.

This is a lovely piece of script writing in yellow, with a deep purple drop shadow. But the piece is more than just the writing; the whole wall contributes to the outcome, with a blue background incorporating vertical rows of spots transitioning into vertical lines on the far right-hand end and a liberal scattering of signature oval spots running horizontally through the letters. Altogether a pleasing piece of script graffiti writing from Logoe.

Soap, M32 roundabout, Bristol, September 2025

Soap doesn’t seem to paint all that often these days, especially since his PWA collaborator has moved to Herefordshire. It was therefore a wonderful surprise to come across this absolute belter from him a couple of weeks ago.

I cannot really express how much I like this piece of graffiti writing. The letters are in a fancy thin script style, which, once you get your eye in, you can see spells SOAP. What makes the piece special is how the letters in green interact with the stunning pink background and all its decorations. Brilliant work from Soap.

7125. M32 Cycle path (294)

Face 1st, M32 cycle path, Bristol, August 2025

Well this piece by Face 1st is as unusual as it was unexpected. Face 1st moved to Herefordshire earlier this year and only visits occasionally (to scratch that itch), so it is always a bonus to find one of his pieces. This looks like it was painted in a bit of a hurry, but has some interesting deviations from his typical work.

The stacked letters spell ‘Face’, with the word ‘First’ in the bottom right, so there is no mistaking the artist, with a PWA (Pirate Wall Art crew) just for confirmation. The script letters with some diagonal hatching have an extremely deep drop shadow in turquoise and is quite different from his usual writing style. The colours and lines make the whole thing look a little bit like an illustration, and has a bit of a look of Alex Lucas about it. An unusual addition to his portfolio.

6592. M32 Spot (197)

Logoe has been back in town again, and what I particularly like about this piece is that he has taken the whole long board over. Sometimes this space is occupied by two artists and occasionally by three, but in this instance Logoe has hogged the whole thing, and has certainly eked out his letters to fill the space on the right. I left the chair in front of the piece, because I felt it added a bit of artistic interest.

Script writing is something of a speciality for logoe, and his joined-up letters appear very much as they might on a page. The fill drifts from bright yellow on the left to pale orange on the right, and the whole thing is liberally sprinkled with little oval dots running horizontally just above the midline. Set on a blue background, the whole thing looks lovely.

Logoe, M32 roundabout, Bristol, September 2024

More from the irrepressible Logoe, this time behind the bush on the M32 roundabout, where he has painted before. What is remarkable about Logoe’s most recent Bristol blitz, is that all of the pieces, and he painted many over a weekend, are really well finished, looking clean and crisp.

This piece of script writing is in yellow shades with a deep green drop shadow, and tidy white outline. The letters spelling LOGOE could easily be mis-read if you weren’t sure what you were looking at. As with most, if not all, of Logoe’s pieces, the writing is adorned with a scattering of brown, grey and yellow oval spots, complementing the colour palette perfectly.

6465. St Werburghs tunnel (453)

Logoe, St Werburghs, Bristol, October 2024

Logoe payed us one of his visits a couple of weeks back, and this is a magnificent piece of writing he left behind, that has lasted longer than many of his pieces do. I think he painted at least six pieces on this particular visit, and I will be sharing those I found over the coming days and weeks.

The letters of this script writing are really bold and look quite chunky with a deep 3D drop shadow. Perhaps the most distinguishing feature of this one is the vertical stripes in oranges and greys in the background, which provide a strong foundation and springboard for the letters. Nice work from Logoe.

5974. St Werburghs tunnel (419)

Logoe, St Werburghs, Bristol, April 2024

Logoe has been visiting Bristol again recently, and that generally means that he painted several pieces over a weekend. Unfortunately this time I goofed up some of my photographs and on returning to the pieces they had already gone. Not to worry though, he is so prolific and this is the first of a few posts from his trip earlier in the month

This is a particularly fine example of his work; beautiful, clean script writing, spelling out LOGOE in turquoise, set on a grey-green background. He has painted a subtle patterned green drop shadow, that complements rather than dominates the writing. No contemporary Logoe piece is complete without a string of oval spots running through the middle of the writing. All great stuff.

Desi, M32 Cycle path, Bristol, August 2023

Ooh! I love this recent piece from Desi, whose work just gets better and better. This time she is writing VEIL, one of her two variants, but with joined up script writing, which is a new and exciting development that works rather well.

I have often been quite critical of artists who don’t buff walls before they paint, because the underlying graffiti can often be distracting, but Desi, whether by design or luck, has managed to pull it off with this piece. The background somehow complements her writing and helps it to stand out. Beautiful curvy letter shapes are accompanied by great blue and pink fills (that B/P combo again), perfectly blended. I think that this might just be my favourite piece from Desi yet.
