The MV Balmoral is a small cruise vessel, built in 1949, that takes passengers on day trips around the British coastline. This is her winter mooring.

Her website is here.

A throwback to earlier this year when we were lucky enough to have Boogie in Bristol for the ‘Boogie down Bristol’ event organised by Inkie. Of the three Boogie pieces that I photographed at that time, I think this one in Raleigh Road is probably the best.

I very much like the way that he makes a feature of the ‘oo’ in his name, and indeed when toying with ‘Scooj’ I have noticed how much the ‘oo”s lend themselves to all sorts of options.

Boogie is recognised as a master of his craft, and from this piece you can see why. Great colours, beautiful design and clean lines throughout the piece. I don’t know why, but all his pieces remind me a little bit of bubble gum…that’s probably just me though.

This gorgeous piece went up earlier in the year in Moon Street, and it is ridiculous that it has taken me so long to post about it. It is by Rezwonk, a Bristol artist, but one that I am struggling to find any information. Sometimes it just is that way – not all street artists are busy on digital media and why should they be?

Technically this is a clever piece and the writing is designed to confuse, much of it being backwards. If you look carefully on the bottom line, you might make out the letters (written backwards) KNOW… spelling out WONK. I don’t have the patience to work out what the whole piece says, but I’m sure Rezwonk was happy with it. Since spraying this, he has created another piece a few yards away which I will post soon.
It has been a very long time since I last saw a piece by PWA’s Soap, and this wonderful piece was alongside a piece by his crew pal Face F1st. As I write this, I believe that a couple of new collaborations between the two have just been sprayed at the Carriageworks and I can’t wait to get some pictures.

I am a little stumped by what the writing on this piece says, but am so pleased to see those mouths once again…it has been such a long time. The photographs are not great, it was a bright day, and the sun was behind the wall, with the light being very troublesome.

It would seem that Soap is becoming a little more active again. I do hope so.
