The frequency of output from the dynamic duo that is Dibz and Fade has dropped off somewhat this autumn. There may be many reasons for this, but one of them has to be that there aren’t many walls available to them, largely due to the longevity of their previous collaborations blocking the best walls and rendering them unavailable.

Dibz has created this outstanding ‘hell on earth’ piece with his customary wildstyle graffiti writing, which is about as tidy as you can get. He has filled the wall with a fiery scene, and loads of movement surrounding the static letters, which are in much sharper focus than the background. I love the devil’s trident with the halo – all good stuff.

This is what a birthday celebration piece to self looks like… by Dibz for Dibz. The calibre of artists that turned out for this paint jam was pretty high, as you might expect, and the quality of the birthday boy’s piece reflects the quality of the others.

It is easy to get quite blazé about Dibz’ outstanding wildstyle graffiti pieces, because each one is utterly on-point, and it is what we expect, but this perfection betrays the talent, experience and hard work that Dibz puts in to achieve these incredible results. Alongside the outstanding writing, Dibz has added a little gravestone and cloud-covered moon to pick up on the Halloween theme running through the pieces in this paint jam. All so good.

Hypo, M32 roundabout, Bristol, September 2025

There is not a lot more I can say about Hypo that I haven’t said in numerous previous posts. He has upped his game considerably over the last two years or so, both in terms of quality and quantity of pieces. During that time he has jumped up a couple of levels, which you can see if you take a glance at this revised gallery of his work.

In this piece, Hypo uses loads of colours, indicating that it could be a ‘dregs’ piece (one which uses up what is left in spray cans) although, Hypo typically does like to use a wide range of colours. Some of his recent pieces have incorporated small spheres for decoration, and they do a great job of adding something a little extra in this work. More magnificent graffiti writing from Hypo.

Hemper, M32 roundabout, Bristol, September 2025

Hemper is one of the great experimenters and innovators of wildstyle graffiti writing in Bristol and no two pieces are the same, and the styles and letter fonts he uses vary considerably from piece to piece. This way he gets to express his creative ideas to the maximum, not constrained by familiar patterns or shapes. It takes extreme talent and confidence to do what he does.

This HEMS piece is really very unusual and has a kind of mirage effect created by the wobbly yellow interventions, working with the purple and blue letters, that manage to both clarify and at the same time disguise the word. This is very clever stuff. Writing like this is definitely not something you will see every day. Love it.

If ever you want to see wildstyle graffiti writing at its absolute best, then look no further than this outstanding piece by Soker painted on the wall of the Sofa Project in Old Market.

Starting with the background, this piece is set on a colourful abstract wash, that has the look of a watercolour, with blended tones and drips. The letters, spelling out SOKER, are presented in a sumptuous palette of red, purple and green with magnificent fill patterns throughout. This enormous piece is a testament to an artist who sits at the pinnacle of his craft.

I can’t think how many times Dibz and Fade have teamed up in the last couple of years, but it must be into dozens, and this piece shows the true nature of total collaboration, where both artists created this incredible work together, and it isn’t possible to know who painted what. Lots of crew shout-outs are scattered around the outside of the piece in pink. Wildstyle writing at its best.

The piece spells out, rather appropriately, ‘Wild Style Addicts’ which probably sums up these two rather well. The gold and purple colours complement one another well, and it all looks very neat and tidy on the black wall.

When I first saw this piece, I was puzzled. The style felt familiar, but I couldn’t match it to any of the artists I am familiar with. There was a reason for that, it is a wonderful piece by visiting artist Lezaxer, and one of at least two painted during a trip to Bristol earlier this month.

The beautifully crafted writing spells out ZAXER, I think, with a perfectly complementary colour scheme, set on a cloudy background. Clearly the work of an experienced graffiti writer, and one who certainly doesn’t look out of place in Bristol.  From Lezaxer’s Instagram profile, it appears that home is Sheffield, and we are privileged that the artist made the long trip south.

This outstanding, colourful piece by Neddy Ned Ned was painted as part of a paint session celebrating Jaksta’s birthday. Although I was present to watch him paint some of this piece, he was a little bit too preoccupied to stop for a chat, and having never met him before, I didn’t want to interrupt him.

This really is a top-drawer piece of wildstyle graffiti writing. The letters spell out Wiska and are filled with a quite superb blended yellow, orange and red colour combination which has a marble effect, really clever. The contrasting blue and black drop shadow has a vanishing point in the centre of the piece. The letters burst out of the wall and bedazzle.

Neddy Ned Neddy is one of those artists who paints from time to time in Bristol, but never enough to grace the pages of Natural Adventures all that often. It is always a pleasure to include his work, though, because his writing style is quite special and beautifully executed.

In most of his pieces, the vanishing point for his drop shadow is located centrally behind the letters, which gives the illusion that they are hurtling towards you from the background. The flaming colour selection works well against the blue, and this is an all-round stonking burner.
