6557. Sparke Evans Park (106)

An emerging artist in Bristol that I am watching quite closely is Roma. I know nothing at all about Roma, and at this stage I have to be careful about assigning a gender to the artist, because I have made the unconscious bias mistake of assuming artists are male when in fact I have been quite wrong, most embarrassingly with T-Rex.

Roma has been painting some quite elementary letters, and you can see from the borders and highlight lines that can-control is a difficult skill to master, but Roma is making great progress in this area. The blended mixture of fill colours is effective, and I love the sprinkling of pink stars running horizontally through the piece. Definitely one to keep a close eye on.

3966. M32 Cycle path (143)

I met Pl8o for the first time a couple of weeks ago while he was painting at Brunel Way, and what a nice fellow he is. He talked a little about his recent experimentation with styles, but said that he was lining up some more ‘blocky’ pieces, of which I guess this is one.

This piece is a delightful sleepy nighttime piece with a moon and stars for added interest. Pl8o has painted some large block letters, nicely filled and decorated, but the star of the show is the moon face blowing clouds into the night sky. A fun and light-hearted piece.

Something magical

when a dog looks at the stars

in complete darkness

does he share my sense of awe,

feel our insignificance?

1416. St Michael’s Hill (3)

Occasionally I vary my walk to work, and instead of sweeping through Stokes Croft and The Bearpit, where I am guaranteed to find some lovely new stuff, I take the hilly route and drop down St Michael’s Hill. This is not an area known for its street art, so finding this large wall by Cheba is a real find.

What a lovely way to decorate a ‘dead’ wall like this one with one of his cosmos pieces. He really has nailed this technique and is quite the best at it that I have seen. I managed to get a shot of it before completion, and it was some time before I visited it again.

I always like to see his work, it is something fresh and different.
