I took a swift walk through Bedminster today and encountered this very recently sprayed simple stencil.
I don’t know the artist because it is unsigned. It is really charming and makes use of the wall’s features.
Update 1 August 2022 – I believe this delightful piece was by Diff

The fourth work from Leonard Lane, but certainly not the last. It really is a goldmine of environment related street art.
This is another lovely mural by Stewy which accompanies his Dodo and DJ Derek in the same street. I admire street art that incorporates its surroundings, like the window bars here.
The side of this house and the wall next to it have recently been given a wonderful makeover by Zase and Dekor. This is typical of the large murals we expect from this magnificent pairing. See their work in Cottrell Road, featured previously.
Typical of their work are the scale, vibrant colours and dream-like scenes. I am not too sure what this is about, but flight appears to be the central theme.
These works all contain the main themed image with a wonderfully worked wildstyle signature incorporated.
Zase lives locally, and there are several more of his works nearby.

Tucked away in Montpelier, there are a few walls that appear to get a lot of attention.
This large mural is by one of Bristol’s most prolific street artists, Sepr. The work is called ‘The Picture of Grey Dorian’, and appears to have been sprayed sometime this year. It has also been tagged and largely obscured. I have not seen a clean original of this work.
I have featured other Sepr artwork at Dighton Street, Turbo Island, and Stokes Croft.

One of the most eye catching murals from this year’s Upfest must surely be this wonderful fox by artist Rob Wass.
The urban fox has become part of the furniture in Bristol, and has been studied over many years by Bristol University. It has become something of an emblem for the city.
Rob Wass, who lives and works in London creates some wonderful colourful works, but I think that these large scale murals are something of a slight departure.

He loves her so much,
his proclamation is clear
