Street art – Natural adventures

7511. Sparke Evans Park (143)

Solar, Sparke Evans Park, Bristol, February 2026

Since first creeping onto my radar, Solar has gone from strength to strength, and is now turning out some high quality pieces that are most attractive to the eye. In this instance I will forgive the overwhelming amount of brown and concentrate on the style of the piece.

The letters are isolated from oner another thanks to a yellow drop shadow, and their shapes are rather unruly, although adhering to his overall style. Each letter has the appearance of a boulder with cracks running through, a fairly common device used in graffiti writing. The whole piece is finished off with some contrasting starbursts and a not to PLB (Placebo) and tribute shout-out to Paroe.

7510. Surbiton Station, London

Paul Don Smith, Surbiton Station, London, February 2026

This is the last of three pieces by Paul Don Smith, that I found at this spot just outside Surbiton Station. I am guessing that the artist favours this spot, perhaps because he is local, or maybe the wall panels favour his square presentation.

Each of his pieces have features popular culture icons, and this one celebrates the hit TV series from South Korea ‘Squid Game’. Paul Don Smith combines his stencils with general spray paint, that softens any hard edges, in a sort of collage presentation. Very nice work, and I’ll be looking out for his stuff the next time I go to any London street art hotspots.

7509. M32 roundabout J3 (749)

Karmone, M32 roundabout, Bristol, February 2026

This is the fourth piece from a collaborative wall, that offers a masterclass in wildstyle graffiti writing. A group of artists, from Cardiff I think, joined Hemper and Turoe to create this magnificent ‘gallery’, heralding a fresh start to 2026. The stunner was painted by Karmone, who has appeared in Natural Adventures a couple of times before, but is far from a regular.

The letters spell MRAK, which is KARM backwards. Every part of this writing oozes class, confidence and expertise. The letter shapes are disguised enough to make reading slightly tricky. The wonderful complementary colours transition perfectly with some clever techniques and devices being used. There is a great drop shadow bounded at the bottom with a fine pulsing yellow line. Even the dark grey background has subtle patterns, raising it above the ordinary. A lovely piece from Karmone.

7508. Sparke Evans Park (142)

Totosoapcity, Sparke Evans Park, Bristol, February 2026

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.

7507. M32 Cycle path (308)

Redeye, M32 Cycle path, Bristol, February 2026

Redeye is a graffiti writer who is very much underrepresented in Natural Adventures. I can’t quite put my finger on why that might be, but he has been so productive in recent weeks, I feel it is appropriate to share his work. Whenever you see a piece by Redeye, you can pretty much guarantee that there will be a Nips piece nearby, as they frequently paint together.

The letters here have been reduced to RDYE, a shortening of his name. The subtle pink fill is decorated with lines and swirls patterning the whole thing in pinks grey and white. A deep black 3D drop shadow provides depth and separation from the wall and a vibrant light green border rounds it all off. Some observers have confused these letters with RYDER, a long-established graffiti writer in Bristol, but while they share some letters, their styles are quite different. Expect more here from Redeye in coming weeks.

7506. Purdown (102)

Creamylines, Purdown, Bristol, February 2026

Another day and another wonderful piece from Creamylines, an artist who has been knocking it out of the park recently. Unlike most artists in Bristol, Creamylines tends to paint solo, and maybe that’s just how he likes it. It would be interesting, one day, to see him collaborate with others, it could bring about some exciting outcomes.

The central element of this composition is a friendly snail carrying the landscape narrative on its back, and that landscape contains the smorgasbord of sun, birds, hills, ponds, faces, figures and abundant nature that we might expect. Charming and full of the good things in life, I am so much enjoying Creamylines’ purple patch.

7505. Brunel Way (350)

Turoe and Dibz, Brunel Way, Bristol, February 2026

This is a rather nice combination collaboration from Turoe and Dibz, and I think that Fade was there too, but possibly in a filming capacity. The depths of a wet and rather horrible winter seem to be dimming, and many artists are waking from their slumbers.

Turoe, Brunel Way, Bristol, February 2026

It turns out that this hoarding, which is actually the side of a large skate ramp, is becoming a bit of a honey-pot for high-end pieces. Although I can’t be absolutely sure, I think Turoe painted the TWC (The Wild Criminals) letters breaking out from the grey ‘wall’. Some great colours and textures in the fill, the hole and the wall.

Dibz, Brunel Way, Bristol, February 2026

I think that the Yosemite Sam character is the work of Dibz, which is unfortunately behind a bit of temporary railing, which I should have moved really for the photograph, but it is a real bit of street furniture that gets in the way from time to time, and adds authenticity to the record. The character is superbly painted, and so true to the cartoon character. Warner Bros and Looney Tunes would be proud.

7504. M32 roundabout J3 (748)

Cesto One, M32 roundabout, Bristol, February 2026

This is another outstanding piece which was painted during a recent paint jam on the M32 roundabout showcasing some of the best wildstyle writing that you are likely to see, in terms of its sheer quality and pure class. This piece is by Cesto One.

Unfortunately I show my ignorance of artists not based in Bristol, and know little of Cesto One, and I don’t believe I have ever posted any of the artist’s work before. You only need to look at this piece once to see that it is painted by an established and confident writer. All the elements are tidy and clean, with outstanding fill transitions, subtle patterns, a gorgeous drop shadow with blended black and green, all set on a dark background and purple cloud. Fabulous work.

7503. Stapleton Road

Nice One, Stapleton Road, Bristol, February 2026

I think that I may have mentioned before that Nice One has taken to this particular hoarding and made it his own. He has painted a series of wonderful landscape and nature pieces here, that feels like a rolling gallery of his work and talent.

This is actually an augmentation of his previous winter scene, with the addition of larger ‘Nice One’ letters in purple and a fiery skyscape. I am a huge fan of his work, and always get excited when I find it. Nice One possesses that rare combination of artistic talent, originality and edge, which makes his work so compelling.

Nice One, Stapleton Road, Bristol, January 2026

7502. M32 roundabout J3 (747)

Avem808, M32 roundabout, Bristol, February 2026

I am enjoying observing the Avem808’s work, as an artist who only came on to my radar midway through last year. I am not sure whether he only then moved to Bristol, or whether I had simply missed his work before, which I find unlikely but not impossible. The point is that he is here now, and I tend to post every new piece of his that I find.

This is a nicely crafted chrome piece on a fiery background. Avem808 has a distinctive style that is intricate and layered, with deep drop shadows falling upon other letters, for example the A and M sitting above the E, if that makes any sense at all. The colour combination works well and the piece stands out on this wall. Having said all that, it didn’t last very long, which is a pity.
