7398. Peel Street Green (59)

Bloem, Peel Street Green, Bristol, December 2025

I can think of few artists I would rather post on my birthday than Bloem. I have enjoyed her emergence and development so much over the last couple of years and I genuinely can’t think of a much better birthday present.

This is a stunning mural piece, beautifully crafted, full of all the things you’d expect from Bloem… hands with long nails, chains and flowers. I suspect there is loads of conscious or unconscious symbolism here, but I’ll not attempt to analyse it. The split between the two colour schemes of pink and blue is expertly worked. All in all this is a stunner. Bravo!

7397. Turbo Island

Daz Cat, Turbo Island, Bristol, December 2025

It has been an age since I last posted anything from Turbo Island, and how nice that it should be this wonderful twin cat piece by Daz Cat. I guess that these cats are conjoined twins or in old language Siamese twins, which works quite well with the feline subjects.

This piece reminds me of another one by the artist that I posted a while back from a wall up by the Narroways nature reserve. It is obviously a theme that Daz Cat enjoys painting, and he does a pretty good job of it. One for the cat lovers.

7396. M32 Cycle path (303)

Luna, M32 Cycle path, Bristol, December 2025

I can’t quite believe it, but I think that this is the first piece by Luna that I have posted on Natural Adventures, despite having several photographs of their graffiti writing from the last couple of years. Luna often paints alongside Bbygwya (Flux, Lux) and Roma, and follows a similar approach.

Luna’s letters are all about a certain amount of consistency in the letter shapes, and then going to town a little with the fills. Here the letters include an extra ‘H’ at the end for a bit of fun, and the fills have a cosmic cloud effect which is rather impressive. Note to self… post more pieces by Luna in 2026.

7395. Cumberland Basin

Even, Cumberland Basin, Bristol, December 2025

There was a dearth of Christmas street art this year, perhaps we live in a time when there is not too much to be cheerful about, or maybe it is a bit of a cliché that artists steer clear of. It was good, therefore, to stumble across this Christmas paint jam from the RBF crew. Doubly satisfying as the crew have been very quiet in 2025.

Even has been painting these cheeky buttocks for a little while now, but she has added a fabulous festive tone in this piece. Her wit comes through with the words ‘X-mas rated’ and ‘Hoe Hoe Hoe…’. I hope that this late collaboration indicates an appetite for RBF to have a more active 2026… please.

7394. Lower Gay Street

Weas, Lower Gay Street, Bristol, December 2025

There are some taggers in Bristol who are at the higher end of tagging and have a little bit more about them. I would class Weas or Weasel as one of those, and I know that he is capable of much more, but seems to enjoy tagging his character in as many places as possible.

Here, Weas has painted two separate mega tags, probably on different occasions. A pair of alien characters on the doors, and another smoking a spliff on the wall to the right. As tags go, you can really see that they are transitional towards something a little more substantial. I think that it wouldn’t take too much to move up a level, but that might not be in Weasel’s plan.

7393. Montpelier Park

Lis, Montpelier Park, Bristol, December 2025

Tucked away in this corner of Montpelier Park is a curious strawberry piece by Lis. It is curious, simply because strawberries aren’t exactly front of mind during the winter. Lis has painted in this spot before, and seems to like its remoteness.

I have noticed that for many artists, there has been a bit of a slowdown during the colder months of the year and Lis would fall into that category, so I was happy to find this quirky piece in Montpelier. The concentric rings around the piece are in keeping with a few of her pieces and may represent a ‘black hole’ into another place.

7392. Dean Lane skate park (893)

Logoe and Mamil, Dean Lane, Bristol, December 2025

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.

7391. Peel Street Green (58)

Sub, Peel Street Green, Bristol, December 2025

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.

7390. Brunel Way (348)

Foksymoron, Brunel Way, Bristol, December 2025

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.

7389. River Avon (106)

Rusk, River Avon, Bristol, December 2025

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.
