A really quick couple of posts uploaded last night on a train with intermittent WiFi, because today, I am going to be at the launch of a National Nature Reserve just outside Dorchester, and will be up too early to draft any posts.

This is a great piece of graffiti writing from a visiting artist, Ram One, who I think might have been painting alongside Neddy Ned Ned, from memory. The letters RAM are reversed in this piece and the red works so well with the black background and green plasma cloud. nice stuff.

I was lucky enough to meet Michal a week or so after photographing this piece while he was painting in Peel Street Green. I stopped to have quite a long chat with him and he is a really interesting artist who works as a chef in Bristol. He was telling me all about the Slovakian (where he is from) street art scene, in particular about Dekor, who used to paint with Zase in Bristol, who is revered as a ‘god’ of street art back in Slovakia.

His letters spell out Michal, he is known as Miso and has appeared here before in some collaboration pieces with Zase. He paints his letters freestyle, in other words from his head and not a pre-drafted design. This is a beautifully worked chrome piece with some accent spots adding just the right amount of detail. The blue splat background does just enough to make it stand out from the graffitied wall. Nice work, watch out for more soon.

When I first saw this wonderful piece in the tunnel I did’t post it, because I didn’t recognise the artist’s style, and to my shame, I couldn’t read the letters. It took seeing an Instagram post for me to have that ‘of course’ penny dropping moment.

It is by Mr Riks, and it is easy enough to see that when you know, but the framing of the piece within the confined green box and the uniform shape and design of the letters threw me. Needless to say, it is an exceptional piece of graffiti writing, with a great colour scheme and letters that really pop out from the wall.

Oh how good is it to see this third recent piece by The Cat Came Back? Sadly though, I haven’t seen any more from the artist since I photographed this last month. In this fine combination piece, the artist shows off his considerable writing skills alongside a beautiful cat girl portrait.

Where has The Cat Came Back been all this time I wonder, and are these pieces a flash in the pan or something to look forward to seeing regularly? The letters spell out Jones, which I am guessing is the artist’s surname. Great letters shapes and fills. The portrait is really well painted and perfectly proportioned. The piece is bold too, set on a black background. Lots to like here.

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.

Second time lucky, I forgot to save this post first time.

Mr Draws has been enjoying playing around with his letters lately and here he has deviated from his customary DRAWS to write KUNST, which means ‘art’ in German. From memory This isn’t the first time he has written the word, and indeed he has had a connection with Germany in the past when he had been planning to work there a while back.

This is a calm and upbeat piece of writing at the farm end of St Werburghs tunnel, presented in Mr Draws’ gentle style. The outstanding colour selections for both the fills and the background make this a piece that is very easy on the eye. Great stuff once again from Mr Draws.

I am so pleased to see that Mr Draws is getting out and painting more regularly once again. He is an artist who goes through peaks and troughs of activity, and it looks like he is approaching another peak. I have followed his work for 10 years, and he has always been great for a chat every time I have met him – his work always feels a bit special to me.

This is a colourful piece at the end of the tunnel in which he has switched up his letters to spell RAWSD. Mr Draws is often playful with his letters, but it is always easy to identify his work, because his style is so recognisable. This is a piece which has a lot of freedom, with colours seemingly randomly blending throughout to great effect. A happy piece from Mr Draws.

Donz, St Werburghs, Bristol, June 2026

I have mentioned in the past that much (not all) of Donz’ work is quite flat in terms of perspective, as you can see from this updated gallery of his work. But every once in a while he includes a 3D drop shadow, and this is the finest example of this that I have seen.

Painted as part of his own birthday paint jam in the tunnel, Donz has seriously stepped up to the plate and produced a classic. The clean colours, painted into nicely designed letters are lifted perfectly by the purple shaded shadow. The whole thing isn’t overworked, instead a clean and clear attractive piece. Happy Birthday.

Patch, St Werburghs, Bristol, June 2026

I love it when new artists come on stream, and I have found a couple of pieces by Patch recently, and I am hoping for more. The obvious first impression from this piece is that it is clean, crisp, unfussy and what you see is what you get.

Sometimes less is more, and that is the case here. The big clean background and cartoony fat script letters is all you are getting here. No fancy fills or frills, and I have to say I quite like it. The challenge for Patch will be how to switch it up a little without compromising the basic premise and identity created.

Corupt, St Werburghs, Bristol, June 2026

Street artists and graffiti writers tend to go through productive phases and less productive ones, often dictated not by inspiration or desire, but by life experience and circumstance. Corupt is having a particularly fruitful period and turning out some outstanding pieces.

This is a lovely chrome STICK piece in the tunnel which was painted alongside RBN One, a graffiti writer whom Corupt often paints alongside. The chrome letters, in Corupt’s characteristic font are filled with a combination of black spots and bars, all stock-in-trade elements used in graffiti writing. Nice work in the tunnel.
