St Werburghs – Natural adventures

210, St Werburghs, Bristol, September 2026

I still need to dig out some older pieces by 210 from my archives, because it is only recently that I figured out his name, and I know I have several pictures of his work dating back some time. His work is usually found adjacent to ARSA, and they both often paint together with Corupt and RBN One.

This bilaterally symmetrical piece is beautifully designed and executed. The colour palette of blues and purples set on the maroon buffed wall are so easy on the eye, and perfectly complemented by the cream drop shadow, drifting off to the right. This is a very pleasing piece by 210. (PS I used to catch the 210 bus to my piano lessons as a kid in North London – so there).

Dun Sum, St Werburghs, Bristol, September 2026

I can’t think of a better way to mark the 600th piece I have written about in the tunnel than with this extraordinary piece by Dun Sum. I believe it was painted as part of a birthday paint jam for Donz, and what a lovely way to celebrate.

The unfolding scene is quite remarkable and very easy on the eye. A young person with blue hair and a cat-like creature are set amongst a cache of large pots and vessels. An incredible scene from the imagination of the artist. How good it would be to know the rest of the story here. Beautifully painted and presented. Bravo Dun Sum Bravo!

RBN One, St Werburghs, Bristol, September 2026

A fresh crop of pieces appeared in the tunnel a week or two back, and this excellent writing from RBN One was among them. The letters are a deviation from his usual ARBIEN.

The piece is painted in a sumptuous combination of reds and blues, beautifully blended. The letters appear to spell BRIAN, although i don’t know the significance of this. Not only is the wall beautifully buffed, but the letters are sitting nicely on a lilac stamp, adding an interesting dynamic. Fabulous piece from RBN One.

Minto, St Werburghs, Bristol, September 2026

An interesting and rather curious portrait piece by Minto peers out from the tunnel wall at passers by. The portrait is composed of an obvious outline and conventional eyes, while the rest of the piece is filled with fragments of shapes and colour to complete the whole.

The cartoon face a find a little unsettling, but it is a skilfully crafted piece and very much presented in Minto’s rather crowded style. Lots of ‘white space’ and busy bits. Great work from the graffiti writer.

Hypo, St Werburghs, Bristol, September 2026

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.

Posh, St Werburghs, Bristol, September 2026

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.

Ram One, St Werburghs, Bristol, August 2026

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.

Michal (Miso), St Werburghs, Bristol, August 2026

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.

Mr Riks, St Werburghs, Bristol, August 2026

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.

The Cat Came Back, St Werburghs, Bristol, August 2026

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.
