At the moment, Bean is spending a lot of time away from Bristol, and only comes back for short periods, such is the student way of life. When he returns he manages to find a few moments to decorate the odd wall or two. This is fine piece in one of his favourite spots under Brunel Way.

The piece is actually based on a photograph which Bean has included in his Instagram post about this portrait of ‘The Great Tear Gas Hoax: How a Kenyan protestor fooled the world’, which was a story about a guy who pretended he was inhaling the gas out of a tear gas canister. Bean has faithfully reproduced the moment in this beautifully painted piece, which is a slight departure from his more fantastical cartoon creations. Looking forward to Bean’s next visit, which might be around Christmas.
