1502. M32 roundabout J3 (76)

This is the second giant ‘thumbs up’ I have posted from Unlucky 15th, and probably only the second of many. The motif is finding its way around the city and the scale seems to be getting slightly bigger too.

A simpleidea, which is making an impact around the place. I suppose it is really a giant tag, but a lot of care has been taken with the white fill and black lines – this is not a quick throw up. Really interested to see where Unlucky 15th will take us with his work.

1413. The Bearpit (128)

I wasn’t too sure whether to feature this work from Unlucky 15th or not, mainly because up until now I have not been clear in my own mind whether this is a tag or graffiti art. Then I thought, does it really matter? This motif has been appearing around Bristol for a while now, and it is only recently that I found out whom it is by. It is highly distinctive and the artist keeps it consistent.

I think what I would really like to see is some other ideas, to establish whether Unlucky 15th is a ‘one-trick-pony’ or a budding Bristol artist. There is a part of me that really likes this piece, and the overall message is a good one…I think there is another level to achieve though.
