One of the rewarding aspects of photographing and recording street art in Bristol is watching on as new artists begin their journey and then develop their style and improve their technique. Some never quite make the grade, but others clearly have the determination and desire to progress, and some reach levels they might have never expected. I met Seed a couple of weeks back, and he told me he had only started graffiti writing a few weeks earlier. Since then, I have seen his work appearing all over the place. This is the first post of his work on Natural Adventures, but I very much anticipate it won’t be the last.

What we see here is potentially a diamond in the rough. Seed has opted for large letters – I’m not quite sure the capital ‘Es’ are the easiest letters to start with, but I guess they present a challenge. The colour selection is good, and that yellow certainly attracts attention. The black 3D drop shadow is a little overpowering and needs refining, but the fills are OK, and the dotted decorations certainly improve the piece. Planning a wall is a really important part of graffiti writing, and Seed has left himself a bit short on the right-hand side, a mistake he is unlikely to repeat. Watch out from more from Seed over the coming weeks and months.
