7508. Sparke Evans Park (142)

Some beautiful and distinctive letters from Totosoapcity, who prefers to be referred to as ARSA. When I have time, I will change all the images I have of his work to ARSA, but this takes a lot longer than one might think. Rather like Werm’s pieces there is a lot of convergence on a bilateral symmetry in ARSA’s pieces, which is cleverly presented.

The grey and cream letters with a rather nice red drop shadow seem to ‘hover’ above a mustard yellow background. This is not an ordinary background, but one that has a kind of pixelated appearance, breaking up any monotony. A nice fresh and vibrant piece from ARSA.

7507. M32 Cycle path (308)

Redeye, M32 Cycle path, Bristol, February 2026

Redeye is a graffiti writer who is very much underrepresented in Natural Adventures. I can’t quite put my finger on why that might be, but he has been so productive in recent weeks, I feel it is appropriate to share his work. Whenever you see a piece by Redeye, you can pretty much guarantee that there will be a Nips piece nearby, as they frequently paint together.

The letters here have been reduced to RDYE, a shortening of his name. The subtle pink fill is decorated with lines and swirls patterning the whole thing in pinks grey and white. A deep black 3D drop shadow provides depth and separation from the wall and a vibrant light green border rounds it all off. Some observers have confused these letters with RYDER, a long-established graffiti writer in Bristol, but while they share some letters, their styles are quite different. Expect more here from Redeye in coming weeks.

7506. Purdown (102)

Creamylines, Purdown, Bristol, February 2026
Creamylines, Purdown, Bristol, February 2026

Another day and another wonderful piece from Creamylines, an artist who has been knocking it out of the park recently. Unlike most artists in Bristol, Creamylines tends to paint solo, and maybe that’s just how he likes it. It would be interesting, one day, to see him collaborate with others, it could bring about some exciting outcomes.

The central element of this composition is a friendly snail carrying the landscape narrative on its back, and that landscape contains the smorgasbord of sun, birds, hills, ponds, faces, figures and abundant nature that we might expect. Charming and full of the good things in life, I am so much enjoying Creamylines’ purple patch.

7505. Brunel Way (350)

This is a rather nice combination collaboration from Turoe and Dibz, and I think that Fade was there too, but possibly in a filming capacity. The depths of a wet and rather horrible winter seem to be dimming, and many artists are waking from their slumbers.

It turns out that this hoarding, which is actually the side of a large skate ramp, is becoming a bit of a honey-pot for high-end pieces. Although I can’t be absolutely sure, I think Turoe painted the TWC (The Wild Criminals) letters breaking out from the grey ‘wall’. Some great colours and textures in the fill, the hole and the wall.

I think that the Yosemite Sam character is the work of Dibz, which is unfortunately behind a bit of temporary railing, which I should have moved really for the photograph, but it is a real bit of street furniture that gets in the way from time to time, and adds authenticity to the record. The character is superbly painted, and so true to the cartoon character. Warner Bros and Looney Tunes would be proud.

7504. M32 roundabout J3 (748)

Cesto One, M32 roundabout, Bristol, February 2026

This is another outstanding piece which was painted during a recent paint jam on the M32 roundabout showcasing some of the best wildstyle writing that you are likely to see, in terms of its sheer quality and pure class. This piece is by Cesto One.

Unfortunately I show my ignorance of artists not based in Bristol, and know little of Cesto One, and I don’t believe I have ever posted any of the artist’s work before. You only need to look at this piece once to see that it is painted by an established and confident writer. All the elements are tidy and clean, with outstanding fill transitions, subtle patterns, a gorgeous drop shadow with blended black and green, all set on a dark background and purple cloud. Fabulous work.

 

7503. Stapleton Road

Nice One, Stapleton Road, Bristol, February 2026

I think that I may have mentioned before that Nice One has taken to this particular hoarding and made it his own. He has painted a series of wonderful landscape and nature pieces here, that feels like a rolling gallery of his work and talent.

This is actually an augmentation of his previous winter scene, with the addition of larger ‘Nice One’ letters in purple and a fiery skyscape. I am a huge fan of his work, and always get excited when I find it. Nice One possesses that rare combination of artistic talent, originality and edge, which makes his work so compelling.

I am enjoying observing the Avem808’s work, as an artist who only came on to my radar midway through last year. I am not sure whether he only then moved to Bristol, or whether I had simply missed his work before, which I find unlikely but not impossible. The point is that he is here now, and I tend to post every new piece of his that I find.

This is a nicely crafted chrome piece on a fiery background. Avem808 has a distinctive style that is intricate and layered, with deep drop shadows falling upon other letters, for example the A and M sitting above the E, if that makes any sense at all. The colour combination works well and the piece stands out on this wall. Having said all that, it didn’t last very long, which is a pity.

 

 

7501. St Werburghs tunnel (575)

Stivs, St Werburghs, Bristol, February 2026
Stivs, St Werburghs, Bristol, February 2026

The letters DSC give away the fact that this epic chrome monster is by Stivs. I guess, from time to time, if you are going to go big, you might as well do it loud and proud. To give you some sense of scale, these letters are probably about 11 or 12 feet tall – that is a lot of chrome paint!

I apologise for the poor photography – my iPhone doesn’t seem to like this section of tunnel and often turns out blurry images (note to self – sort it out). Stiv’s enormous letters are written in a calligraffiti style, but being so large are a little less sophisticated than some of his normal-sized pieces. A big bit of fun in the tunnel.

7500. M32 roundabout J3 (746)

Turoe, M32 roundabout, Bristol, February 2026

This outstanding piece was painted by Turoe, who credited the outline to Muster One. Painted alongside four other artists, the paint jam has turned out to be something of a masterclass of graffiti writing, and this is the second piece I have posted from the session, the first being by Hemper.

Turoe belongs to a small group of graffiti writers who have been smashing it for years (decades) on the streets of Bristol and has earned his place in the scene’s folklore. The seamless transition of colours from light green at the top to dark green at the bottom is flawless. Lots of arrows and overlapping elements from letter to letter showcase this lovely bit of wildstyle writing. Bravo!

7499. Dean Lane skate park (905)

Werm, Dean Lane, Bristol, February 2026
Werm, Dean Lane, Bristol, February 2026

What a superb piece from Werm in the Deaner. The symmetry created from the letters WERM is excellent, and something Werm plays with a lot in his work. This might be the tightest one yet. The brownish fill is in two tones and is best described as a chocolate mousse look – regulars will know that I am not fond of brown, but I’ll let it go in this instance.

The deep drop shadow veering to the left provides depth and the light blue background plenty of contrast, bit devices lifting the letters nicely. The red border creates a nice boundary between the letters and background, and I like the ‘cloud’ detail in the blue background. This is an interesting piece that deserves a while to enjoy it.
