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.
On a wall opposite the Phlegm mural, previously featured, is a beautiful stencil of a tabby cat.
The cat, by Beastie, an artist from Gloucester, has left its blue paw prints behind. This is a lovely and somewhat understated work.
Beastie has been nicknamed the Banksy of Gloucester by the local media, and he would appear to be both prolific and popular.

With consummate ease,
walking on water is like

My mother told me I really should go and check out a beautiful bird mural in the centre of Chichester when I was visiting a week or two ago, so I did.
The mural, which overlooks the Baffins Lane car park, is by ROA, and was created during the Chichester street art festival in 2013.
Although his work appears throughout Europe and beyond, little is known about the artist from Ghent, Belgium.
He specialises in pictures of animals, often gracefully contorted in death poses. These birds however, are very much alive. I will have to look out his work in Bristol.
Synchronicity;
warm, humid weather triggers
a mass ant ascent.
