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.
Lis, Montpelier Park, Bristol, December 2025
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.
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.
Logoe and Mamil, Dean Lane, Bristol, December 2025
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.

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.
Sub, Peel Street Green, Bristol, December 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.
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.
Rusk, River Avon, Bristol, December 2025
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.

Some artists can be a little cheeky with their placements and some take that cheekiness to a new level by adding in adventure, whether on railways, derelict buildings or as in this case high up on buildings. Nice One has a record of going high.
Nice One, Stokes Croft, Bristol, December 2025
I remember when there was scaffolding on this building, and Nice One taking advantage of the opportunity. His Times New Roman font (or similar) seems to work rather well on this building, and probably goes unnoticed by most folk, as people tend not to look up when they tread the streets. Nice one, Nice One.
Really quick ones today. I am unexpectedly dropping my son and a friend off at Heathrow this morning after a last minute change of plans, so am very short of time to write posts. This is a rather nice one from Mage on the roundabout.
Mage, M32 roundabout, Bristol, December 2025
Mage has had an incredible 2025, and his work can be seen absolutely everywhere in Bristol. It seems as if he is on a mission. The quality of his work is variable, but his energy and enthusiasm unmatched. This is a bit of a beauty, with his angular letter shapes, but those fills are to die for. Excellent stuff.
Tucked away in the corner of Montpelier Park is a wall that is well worth a look every once in a while. At the moment, it is occupied by Butch alongside some graffiti writing by Beer.
Butch, Montpelier Park, Bristol, December 2025
I have always said that there is something about the letter shapes and the way that Butch overlaps them that I find most attractive, I can’t put my finger on it, but it works for me. The letters are filled with horizontal layers of blue tones and a royal blue drop shadow. Somehow this blue aggregation works really well against the predominantly red noisy graffiti background, which isn’t always the case when painting messy walls. A nice way for Butch to round off 2025.
During the second half of last year, I thoroughly enjoyed witnessing the coming together of Asre and Zinso, which felt like a perfect match in terms of writing styles. Asre has had a great year, producing no end of graffiti writing pieces and thrown in a few characters too along the way.
Asre, Dean Lane, Bristol, December 2025
This is a modest piece on the wall of the Dean Lane swimming pool which includes shout-outs to his graffiti friends. The nicely designed letters are filled with four horizontally laid out shades of blue, with some reversing-out of bubbles between layers. Buffing out the wall might have helped with shutting out the noise from around the piece, but it actually is fine as it is. Looking forward to lots more in 2026.
There is a little corner of the M32 Spot where some new, small hoardings have been erected and Hypo, painting with Posh and Kool Hand wasted no time in decorating them.
Hypo, M32 Spot, Bristol, December 2025
This is a smaller piece than I am used to seeing from Hypo, but it contains many of the elements of his developing style, in particular a liberal sprinkling of small spheres reflecting the main five colours of the letter fills. Nice shout-outs to Ticks RIP and Minto. Fun under the M32.
