4255. Cumberland Basin
A few days ago I posted the debut piece from Morag on Natural adventures, and raved about the column piece on the opposite bank of the river to this one in Cumberland Basin. I sincerely hope that these are the beginning of more to come from the artist with such a unique style.
This piece is broader than the other one, with the luxury of a wider piece of wall. The character has a speech bubble with the words ‘nice view’ almost certainly a reference to the river and Clifton suspension bridge that can be seen from this spot. There is something about these faces that works so well, and I think it is the mouth, which is perfectly painted and orientated, with movement and character about it. Another cracking piece from Morag.

You can expect to see a few pieces creeping into Natural Adventures over the coming works by the artist Klashwhensober. I met him for the first time in St Werburghs tunnel last week, and what a pleasure it was too. He told me that he writes Klash, as in this piece, but also Flash and Sober. I have seen many of his pieces around the place, but this is the first one I have posted.
It is clear that Klashwhensober is an accomplished writer, and his pink letters here are unusually shaped, but nicely done. They remind me a little of Claro_qhe_sssnoh’s lettering style. Look out for more from this artist in coming weeks.
UPDATE – I forgot to include his character that was alongside the writing of one of the Rugrats cartoon family – was it the father? Very nicely done whatever.

I think the thing I love most about this outstanding piece from Conrico is that it is probably the most surprising subject for street art imaginable. A Japanese takeaway sushi meal, still in its plastic container, is either completely bonkers or utterly inspired, and I prefer to err on the side of the latter.
There is no question that this is brilliantly painted in Conrico’s paint brush style, the plastic transparent box alone is worth a mention. Take a look at the delicacies inside the box, and you will notice that they spell out Conrico Steez, the full signature of the artist. I love, love, love this creative food fiesta – bravo!
4252. M32 roundabout J3 (384)
Bright, cheerful and straight to the point. This is a wonderful and uplifting piece of graffiti writing from Corupt on the M32 roundabout. The artist tends to use a few different sets of letters, including Corupt, Korupt and Stick, and I guess I could just as easily called him ‘Stick’, if I had seen those letters first.
Corupt’s letters are very distinctive; usually quite regular in size and quite angular in style. The main characteristic though is the outstanding fill patterns throughout his work. This piece is stunningly finished with an orange and red border which is so tidy. BS3 is a Bristol postcode (Bedminster area) which Corupt often tags onto his work.

Like many artists, Hire seems to have woken up from a bit of a pandemic slumber. Artists seem to have split into two camps over the last two years; those that went to ground and are now slowly emerging, and those that took advantage of the disruption and Furlough to paint like never before. Hire certainly belonged to the former.
This is a nice double piece of ‘BFs’ from the Polish artist. I believe BF is a crew, but I don’t know what it stands for, anyway, Hire has gone for two different stylistic approaches to the letters and the end result is rather pleasing. His talent overfloweth.
4250. Dean Lane skate park (464)
Nugmoose is another artist who has upped his game recently, which can only be good news, because his rather weird alien pieces add another dimension to the vast spectrum of artwork we see on the streets of Bristol. This was my second attempt at photographing this piece, my first pictures were disturbingly out of focus.
Peering through a winter hedge and iron railing fence, the obstavpcles in the way of this wall, you can make out a curious alien holding a pair of alien legs with a seedling growing out of them. Who’d have thought it? Crazy surreal stuff from Nugmoose, and his alien graffiti writing is equally curious. A wonderful and unusual piece.
