It’s so worrisome
deciding which tiles to choose
for the new bathroom.

I have been sorting through a few pictures of Bristol’s street art that I have taken recently, and there really is a lot of the stuff, and such variety. In October, I came across an unusual work by one of Bristol’s most prolific artists, Kid Crayon.
What is interesting about this mural is that it is a departure from his wheatpaste work, which I have featured many times in my posts.
It can be quite difficult to get decent shots of this mural because it is on the wall of a small private car park, and there are usually cars parked up against the wall. I really like this mural and will seek out more of his paintings.
64. Richmond Road
In deepest Bohemian Montpelier, Bristol, many of the homes and businesses have welcomed street artists to adorn their walls and shopfronts with murals. Every street is full of colour and surprises.
This beautiful mural created in 2013 is by Ryan Kai and is typical of his work, which carries a strong Latin American theme. He studied art at the University of the West of England in Bristol and graduated in 2009. Now living and working in North London, Kai has a really nice blog which gives you a great insight into his work and techniques.
I don’t know who is responsible for the little addition to this mural. A bit of fun.

Hard
It is hard sometimes
to look into the darkness
and not be afraid.

This rather threatening Nick Walker stencil from 2013 caused the tiniest storm in a teacup when a Bristol resident complained to the Council about the work, complaining that it was an abuse of childhood. The way the law works is that the owner of the property can choose not to have the graffiti removed if that is what they wish, in in this instance the owner liked it and it has stayed.
The same stencil appeared as part of a commission of Nick Walker’s art in a hotel car park in Indianapolis. How good is that?
There is a final and rather sad end to this blog (updated in March 2016, whilst compressing images) which is that the door was stolen, and it now looks like the picture below. I think that the thief tried to flog it, but couldn’t so handed it into the authorities in the NW of England…or I might be making that bit up.

What Autumn?
Mildest of weeks; this
prolonged seasonal stasis
is bewildering.

The leaves tumble down
and skateboarders once again
admire their totem.

We are biozens.

Learning and sharing;
a tireless thirst for knowledge
fires me up somewhat.

An Autumn sunrise
offering false promises
