This is a large production piece under Brunel Way, which is an RIP tribute piece dedicated to Lenzman, a Dutch drum and bass producer who died in July this year and was signed to Goldie’s Metalheadz label. The outstanding piece was painted by Dibz, Fade, Inkie, Cheo, Jody, Goldie and Soker. Legends all.

First up , Dibz and Fade have collaborated with some writing and a crown, with one or two characters joining them by Cheo.

Then we have Cheo, who has presented the Metalheadz logo alongside a couple of tulips, perhaps representing The Netherlands. Goldie has written Lenzman in his own special style while Inkie has topped the piece with the words ‘we’re still standing’.

Jody has provided a wonderful portrait of Lenzman in greyscale with a distinctive red wooly hat, a trademark item worn by the musician.

The next section contains writing by Soker and Fade, spelling out the names of Lenzman’s children and wife, Nya, Riva and Ashanti.

Inkie rounds off the whole production with a wonderful piece of writing ‘The Northern Quarter’ in his characteristic stylised writing. The whole thing is an absolutely superb and fitting tribute wall. Bravo!

Soker, Goodneston Road, Bristol, July 2026

Another fine piece from the Tickz tribute hoarding and another fine piece by Soker, one of Bristol’s legendary graffiti writers. The writing here, spelling Tickz, is both outstanding and fitting.

Unfortunately, the colours are not well represented here, as the sun was directly behind the hoarding and has washed out much of the colour and tone. It is still possible to see the fine craft of the work though. Great work.

This piece is the pick of three tribute pieces under Brunel Way for Slippy. I know little of Slippy, but the artist here is well known to Natural Adventures, Taboo. This is a classic piece of anti-style graffiti writing from the artist.

The letters spell out TABOO, although some might struggle to see all the letters immediately. Simply presented in white with a black border and some blood-red drips, perhaps symbolising death. This piece really encapsulates the edgy and underground nature of graffiti writing, and the kind heart that sits behind it.

The last two or three years have quite simply been phenomenal for Dibz and Fade. The duo collaborate regularly, particularly when the weather is clement, and also seem to be at the heart of larger collaborations and production walls. Ever present and ever brilliant.

This is a lively tribute piece for Helch RIP, who I believe was a London-based graffiti artist. Who used a lot of large block letters in his work, which are faithfully and respectfully replicated in this collaboration. Helch passed away in August this year aged only 34 years. A lovely tribute.

Minto, Goodneston Road, Bristol, July 2026

Going back a little in time to my late discovery of the massive Tickz tribute wall, I thought I should include this piece by Minto. Reflecting back on Minto’s gallery, it is obvious that he rather likes depicting vehicles in his work, and this is one great example of that.

Minto, Goodneston Road, Bristol, July 2026
Minto, Goodneston Road, Bristol, July 2026

Minto presents a monster truck driving over and crushing another car. I’m not sure if there is any particular relevance to this, but it makes for a good scene. I like the detail in the piece, such as the reflection of the scene behind in the car door. I still have so many pieces to post from this wall, but will probably spread them out over time.

Hypo, Goodneston Road, Bristol, July 2026

This is a lovely tribute piece for Tickz by Hypo, which is well over a year old now, but I have been slow to find this spot, hence the delayed post. The age of the piece is made more obvious with the ‘warning’ poster that has been slapped across the middle of it.

Hypo, Goodneston Road, Bristol, July 2026

Hypo has chosen some fairly modest colours that complement the sober grey hoarding to write the letters TICKS, a variant of Tickz. The drop shadow which has some streaks, stars and spots disappears to a central point behind the letters, and the whole thing looks very ‘Hypo’ if that makes sense.

Ulow, Goodneston Road, Bristol, July 2026

Painted as part of the tribute wall to Tickz over a year ago, Ulow has created in this one piece a truly heartfelt and touching personal message to his departed friend. By using a well-known character that so many of us can instantly relate to, Ulow takes us on an emotional journey we understand. Brilliant.

The two-tone rendition of ET, the extra terrestrial, perfectly presented shows the love felt for Tickz, that the message is from the heart. This is a moving and fitting piece, and a wonderful way to be able to show your respect. Ulow has absolutely nailed in terms of both appropriateness and also quality.

Donz, Goodneston Road, Bristol, July 2026
Donz, Goodneston Road, Bristol, July 2026

The distinctive style of Donz is disrupted slightly by incorporating the letters TICKZ instead of DONZ. I often wonder how difficult this is to do for writers who pretty much always use the same letters, it must present as some kind of challenge. Thankfully Donz has risen to the challenge in this instance.

Although I have arrived late to this spot (over a year late in fact), it would appear that little has changed in that time, with much of the length of the hoarding hosting tribute pieces to Tickz, a Bristol-based graffiti artist who died back in May 2025. The fills in these letters use typical Donz colours and contrasts and incorporates some tidy little designs. A bold black outline completes the piece nicely.

I am enjoying Solar’s ‘renaissance’ very much. In recent months there appears to have been an upwards shift in the quality of and confidence in his work. He has always had a recognisable style, and now he appears to be firming it up and creating consistent excellence.

This is a lovely tribute piece to Paroe on the long wall at Sparke Evans Park, which must be an anniversary piece a year or so on from the original tribute wall. The anti-style writing, spelling PAROE is painted in beautifully blended yellow and turquoise colours, presented on a neutral beige background. There is some nice marbling and detailing throughout the piece, which is a fine tribute to a popular artist who is obviously much missed.

This is a brilliant piece of anti-style graffiti writing from Taboo, which demonstrates clearly how interconnected and varied the art world is. The piece is a touching tribute to David Hockney, whose own unconventional style won over the public’s imagination and whose legacy will forever influence artists worldwide.

Taboo’s unconventional green letters sit on a pink background, but it is the scene inside the second ‘O’ that steals the show. There is a little pastiche of a swimming pool and diving-board, a theme so familiar in many of Hockney’s paintings. Such a lovely idea and tribute to pay. Bravo!
