A recent visit to Bristol by Logoe and Mamil has caused a bit of a stir. The artists are not residents of Bristol, and are not so very much in touch with the wall protocols. Unfortunately, they painted over a tribute wall to Dorns under Brunel Way, and the piece was immediately tagged as being disrespectful. Another of their collaborations in St Werburghs was given the same treatment. It can be a jungle out there, and it is often advisable not to paint over a tribute piece, or anything that you might believe is a tribute.

I am familiar with the blitz visits of Logoe over recent years, but Mamil is new to me, and it looks like Logoe has found a kindred spirit script graffiti writer. This is a proper collaboration with a shared house sty;e in terms of colours and background. Both artists have adopted a script style, but Mamil’s is, in this example, finer than Logoe’s, and is in the form of a bicycle. Clever stuff. More to come from this pair, and their tagged pieces are shown below.

This is what I have been waiting for from Sub – a wonderful fusion of his extra-large letters and a creative fill. In my mind’s eye, this piece and the one from underneath the M32 mark a new level in his work, and is a culmination of tons of practice and development during 2025.

His SUB letters give the impression of being hollow and having the appearance of a pastry cutter, which is a clever effect. The void is filled with pink and blue ephemeral hexagons that appear to float in the space. Some green blobs distract the eye and round off the work – I can’t make up my mind whether they add to or detract from the piece. I hope that Sub will be able to kick-on from this fabulous end to the year in 2026 – I’ll be watching.

There is something rather urban and street wise about the fox character painted by Foksymoron, which I guess is no huge surprise. The character taps into the long relationship that Bristol has with the study of urban foxes, indeed, my old allotment was recorded as having the most densely populated distribution of foxes found anywhere, ever (at that time).

This column fox almost went unnoticed, as it is rather subtle, and the camouflage outfit actually works in breaking up the outline of the character. The cool fox wearing his trademark sunglasses is having a casual cigarette, while standing nonchalantly – perhaps he is watching the skaters and bikers that frequent this little area. Another great piece from Foksymoron.

I enjoy my dog walks alongside the River Avon through Sparke Evans Park, and beside the light industrial estate, all the way to Temple Meads station. The walks combine my love of nature and of street art, and the dog enjoys the smells, and running around the park. These walks are especially rewarding when I come across a piece like this one by Rusk.

This is a fabulous piece of graffiti writing by Rusk, and stands out as such on this long wall. The colourful letters are tidily presented in a blue background. Although it is not as polished as some of his pieces, the whole thing oozes class. I believe it might have been to celebrate Vents’ birthday (hence the shout-out) but I am not sure. An unexpected and pleasant surprise.

Turnover underneath the Brunel Way flyover has been relatively slow in recent months, and I have reduced my visits slightly to reflect this. The last time I passed by though, I was delighted to find these three distinctive bats on separate columns by Rowdy.

If there was one artist in Bristol who represents the beating heart of the city’s street art scene, it would, in my view, be Rowdy. His crudely painted animal characters can be found all over the city, and some have been around for years.

These three bats are full of mischief and character, and so utterly unmistakable as the work of Rowdy. Rowdy is an artist I haven’t yet met, which is a pity, but perhaps I’ll get lucky sometime and find myself in the right place at the right time.

We have had a very busy Christmas period, doing lots of travelling and visiting of relatives. Just before Christmas, we met up with my niece and her three-month-old boy in a pub for a spot of lunch in Leyton Marshes and to meet the youngest (at that time) member of our family. It was a lovely opportunity to get to know the little chap. Naturally, I couldn’t help but notice some graffiti and street art dotted about the place.

Immediately outside the pub was this distinctive piece by Sweet Toof on a hoarding squished up against a tree. I have seen work by the artist in various places on my travels, including New York, and I know that he gets around a lot. I think that he operates out of London though, and I don’t see as much of his work that I’d like to. This was a serendipitous occasion, but the star of the show was my little great nephew.

There was a conspicuous absence of Christmas celebration street art in Bristol this year, or at least in any of the spots I visited over the holiday period. This might reflect Christmas fatigue, or perhaps a feeling that after a difficult year the mood was slightly downbeat. There was one small Christmas highlight, however, on the long wall at Cumberland Basin.

Peggy teamed up with some RBF friends, and painted this lovely floral piece in Christmas colours. I can only think that Peggy has been very busy with her work this year, because her street pieces have been few and far between, so finding this one was a bit of a treat. I’m not too sure what the AIZA letters refer to… I might need to investigate.

Some artists can be a little cheeky with their placements and some take that cheekiness to a new level by adding in adventure, whether on railways, derelict buildings or as in this case high up on buildings. Nice One has a record of going high.

I remember when there was scaffolding on this building, and Nice One taking advantage of the opportunity. His Times New Roman font (or similar) seems to work rather well on this building, and probably goes unnoticed by most folk, as people tend not to look up when they tread the streets. Nice one, Nice One.

Really quick ones today. I am unexpectedly dropping my son and a friend off at Heathrow this morning after a last minute change of plans, so am very short of time to write posts. This is a rather nice one from Mage on the roundabout.

Mage has had an incredible 2025, and his work can be seen absolutely everywhere in Bristol. It seems as if he is on a mission. The quality of his work is variable, but his energy and enthusiasm unmatched. This is a bit of a beauty, with his angular letter shapes, but those fills are to die for. Excellent stuff.
