When tomorrow comes
will I be any wiser
or more frivolous?

The side of this house and the wall next to it have recently been given a wonderful makeover by Zase and Dekor. This is typical of the large murals we expect from this magnificent pairing. See their work in Cottrell Road, featured previously.
Typical of their work are the scale, vibrant colours and dream-like scenes. I am not too sure what this is about, but flight appears to be the central theme.
These works all contain the main themed image with a wonderfully worked wildstyle signature incorporated.
Zase lives locally, and there are several more of his works nearby.

Summer’s lease…
How long must we wait
to revel in warmth again
and bathe in sunlight?

Surprises from those
you love the most are always
the greatest of all

- I returned home from a football match yesterday to find a full size Banksy wallpaper poster on our living room wall. Surprised. Very happy.

Tucked away in Montpelier, there are a few walls that appear to get a lot of attention.
This large mural is by one of Bristol’s most prolific street artists, Sepr. The work is called ‘The Picture of Grey Dorian’, and appears to have been sprayed sometime this year. It has also been tagged and largely obscured. I have not seen a clean original of this work.
I have featured other Sepr artwork at Dighton Street, Turbo Island, and Stokes Croft.

Homage
In admiration
of your disproportionate
power over me.

One of the most eye catching murals from this year’s Upfest must surely be this wonderful fox by artist Rob Wass.
The urban fox has become part of the furniture in Bristol, and has been studied over many years by Bristol University. It has become something of an emblem for the city.
Rob Wass, who lives and works in London creates some wonderful colourful works, but I think that these large scale murals are something of a slight departure.

There can be few things
in life more frivolous than
chasing your own tail.

Black Widow
She loves him, it’s true,
though her dark purpose prevents
an eternal love.

- One of a pair of haiku, to be read with Peacock. The inspiration came from two mysterious cards stuck to a wall in Ward Street, Bristol.
- This haiku is heavily influenced by the magnificent and mischievous Poet Rummager and her ‘Hungry Love‘ haiku, with thanks.
Peacock
He loves her so much,
his proclamation is clear
for all to witness.
