141. The Bearpit (5)
Another tricky one today. This amazing piece is the left hand side of a larger piece entitled Lifestyles of the Poor and Dangerous.
I managed to track down the artists of this whole wall via DNT’s Instagram feed, and it would appear that it was a collaboration by Akarat, DNT, BS51, Klue and Hoax.
The two stencils here I would guess are by Hoax and Akarat. This piece I think was sprayed in mid-February 2016.
These stencils are exceptional. Get down to The Bearpit and check them out.
The stencil of the child with the gun also has recently (March 3 2016) appeared in Stokes Croft at number 37.

Trees of Christmas past

140. The Bearpit (4)
An unusual post this time. Several new pieces have appeared in the tunnels at The Bearpit over the last few weeks all of them signed ‘Decay’. They have been joined by a burner on the practice wall in Ashley Road in Stokes Croft.
These wonderful abstract street art works are eye catching and refreshingly different.
So far my attempts to find out more about ‘Decay’ have been fruitless, but if I do find out any more I will post it here as an update.
‘Decay’ has certainly been busy, and I look forward to seeing more pieces around Bristol.

This must be one of the most rapidly changing walls in Stokes Croft at the moment. It seems each time something goes up, it gets painted over and then not long after, replaced. It is not long ago that I featured the wall in this blog.
This is a wonderful new addition by Mau Mau, which he posted on Twitter on February 19 this year. Featuring his signature fox, it is witty and slightly edgy. Much of Mau Mau’s work contains social comment and I think that this is no different.
I have only encountered two of his pieces so far, the first being a wonderful political collaboration with Rowdy. I love this piece, and hope it has a longer stay of execution than some of the previous works here.

ATM is something of a bird specialist, although I featured his wonderful bee near the entrance of @Bristol back in July 2015. In that post I referred to ATM working on a piece for Upfest 2015. This is that piece.
ATM is a tireless campaigner for a better understanding of the plight of our wildlife and he has given several interviews about his work – here is a lovely one from Inspiring City.
This hand painted image of a hen harrier is typical of his work, and although most of his work is to be seen in London, there are several in Bristol…check out Leonard Lane, for example.
