Some beautiful and distinctive letters from Totosoapcity, who prefers to be referred to as ARSA. When I have time, I will change all the images I have of his work to ARSA, but this takes a lot longer than one might think. Rather like Werm’s pieces there is a lot of convergence on a bilateral symmetry in ARSA’s pieces, which is cleverly presented.

The grey and cream letters with a rather nice red drop shadow seem to ‘hover’ above a mustard yellow background. This is not an ordinary background, but one that has a kind of pixelated appearance, breaking up any monotony. A nice fresh and vibrant piece from ARSA.

I was told recently that Corupt (my name for him, taken from the word he writes most commonly) is held in very high regard in his native Hungary, and it is easy to see why. His work oozes class and experience and rarely, if ever disappoints.

These large chrome letters, spelling STICK, although irregular in shape and size, somehow have a uniformity about them that as a whole presents in a way that is very pleasing to the eye. The blue and black striped drop shadow adds ample perspective and a the white thin border, separated by about an inch from the letters is a trademark ingredient of Corupt’s style. Some yellow accent lines to the top and right of each letter shape also improve the overall effect. Very nice work indeed.

I don’t think that I post enough of Foksymoron’s work, certainly there are a lot of his pieces sitting in my files and this one was one I overlooked back in July this year, which was part of the very long Paroe tribute wall.

This time, a respectful fox, with his trademark sunglasses, flat cap and casual clothes suggests that Paroe should ‘rest easy’, which is completely in character. There is an ethereal quality to this piece, softening up the edges. An absence of a hard border is, in my view, a real bonus. Not every piece needs a border. This is a really nice piece from Foksymoron.

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.

It looks like Stivs will once again be dividing opinion with this combination piece on the long wall at Sparke Evans Park. Although it was painted alongside the countless Paroe tribute pieces, it is not clear that this is one of them, and even if it were, it would seem a little inappropriate.

This is not the first time Stivs has painted a topless woman, but I worry that he might have missed the mark with this one, accompanying it with the words ‘Equal opportunities’. I’m not too sure what point he is trying to make, but it doesn’t sit all that comfortably with me. Don’t get me wrong, I am not a prude and am all for nudity in street art (as in all art), it is the messaging that worries me. The artwork is good, and the calligraffiti spelling out DSC – 25 – Stivs is totally in keeping with his style and talent.

Pekoe, Sparke Evans Park, Bristol, July 2025

This is a tribute piece, one of many to the late Paroe, on the long wall at Sparke Evans Park. Pekoe’s stylised portrait pieces are no stranger to Natural Adventures and I have observed over the years that emotions underpin her pieces and that is for sure the case here.

The woman has a sorrowful expression, somewhat amplified by the tear of sadness. Tears used to be a common feature of Pekoe’s pieces, but of late they have been less common, perhaps reflecting her own happier disposition.

This piece is archetypal Pekoe, and that is a wonderful thing. A beautiful portrait with strong features, especially eyes and lips, and some great shading. The wonderful hair is a trademark element of Pekoe’s work which is nicely coloured with green and yellow bands. Another fine portrait piece from Pekoe.

Vesar, Sparke Evans Park, Bristol, July 2025

Recently, almost the entire wall at Sparke Evans Park, and it is a long wall, was filled with tribute pieces to Paroe (or Paro).  I know little about Paroe (Oliver Andrews), but it would seem from the huge turnout and the large number of tribute pieces all over Bristol, that he was well-known and much loved. This is one of those tribute pieces, by Vesar.

I have only recently been posting pieces by Vesar, despite having many of his pieces in my archive, and I am certainly noticing them much more when I go out on my walks. This is a beautifully presented piece with skilfully worked red fills and a stunning green splash behind. A worthy tribute piece.

What is a little peculiar is that if I look back through my archives I would probably find half a dozen or so pieces by Totosoapcity, but it is only recently, once I found out the artist’s name, that I have actually started to post his distinctive writing.

There is a symmetry to Totosoapcity’s writing, and I am never too sure what the letters spell, but I think it is ARSA. There are some good blues, pinks and purples in the piece with a deep 3D drop shadow vanishing in the centre, below the wall. There are a few decorative circles filling and breaking up the white space around the background. A nice piece. I will have to trawl through my archives and dig out some old ones.

Noise, Sparke Evans Park, Bristol, June 2025

Noise consistently turns out great graffiti writing pieces. Never too showy or ostentatious, he always puts his big letters to good use. I have noticed that of late he has been using quite dark colours and tones, which adds a weight to his work.

This is a superb display from Noise, with slightly more elaborate letters than normal, but it is the fill that is most captivating. The lower half of the deep red letters has an incredible cloudy marbling effect, simply stunning, and the white highlights on the letters create superb depth, giving texture to the letters, lifting them off the wall. A top piece of graffiti writing from Noise.
