7959. Cumberland Basin

Tera, Cumberland Basin, Bristol, July 2026

A quick glance back at my archive revealed this Tera piece from back in July this year. I have now idea how this one missed the first cut, but I will make up for it here.

This is another demonic combination piece by the Tattoo artist!with the evil character sandwiched between the words ‘Tera’ and ‘Graff’. The whole scene is a perfect representation of a demonic horror apocalypse with a background of bare trees and a murder of crows.

The demon is a little lost in the whole thing, so here is a close up. Great work from Tera.

7958. Goodneston Road (11)

Soker, Goodneston Road, Bristol, July 2026

Another fine piece from the Tickz tribute hoarding and another fine piece by Soker, one of Bristol’s legendary graffiti writers. The writing here, spelling Tickz, is both outstanding and fitting.

Unfortunately, the colours are not well represented here, as the sun was directly behind the hoarding and has washed out much of the colour and tone. It is still possible to see the fine craft of the work though. Great work.

7954. Peel Street Green (71)

Stivs, Peel Street Green, Bristol, September 2026

Ok. I am now on my annual fishing trip in Cornwall, so this post, written last night will be short. Stivs is on fire. Everywhere I look I find his pieces, whether portraits, calligraffiti or combinations of the two.

This is a gorgeous piece of writing occupying a full section of wall at the Green. The elaborate letters spelling STIVS are stunning, and the colours look like precious gems set on a black background with hearts aplenty. Beautiful.

7953. M32 roundabout J3 (797)

Sub, M32 roundabout, Bristol, September 2026

Reflecting back on the long hot dry summer, I would have to say that SUB is one of the most improved writers in Bristol. He has been relentless in painting his letters wherever he can it seems, and making them much more interesting with patterns, creative fills and adding the odd character here and there.

Sub has had a difficult challenge from the start by choosing only three letters, which tend to be large and so need a lot of work to make them stand out. Here he has managed to create a bevelled edge to his chrome letters, which works really well and together with a deep drop shadow creates plenty of depth. Running through the middle of the letters is a nicely worked blue plasma streak providing additional interest and without which the piece would be at risk of looking a little plain. This wall is a favourite spot for Sub, and there are layers of his pieces here, you might spot one or two.

7952. Brunel Way (369)

Taboo, Brunel Way, Bristol, September 2026

This piece is the pick of three tribute pieces under Brunel Way for Slippy. I know little of Slippy, but the artist here is well known to Natural Adventures, Taboo. This is a classic piece of anti-style graffiti writing from the artist.

The letters spell out TABOO, although some might struggle to see all the letters immediately. Simply presented in white with a black border and some blood-red drips, perhaps symbolising death. This piece really encapsulates the edgy and underground nature of graffiti writing, and the kind heart that sits behind it.

7950. Dean Lane skate park (945)

Solar, Dean Lane, Bristol, September 2026

It is rather unusual to find anything by Solar or indeed much of the PLB crew in Dean Lane these days, so this was a refreshing appearance. Solar has painted this wall which is rather challenging to photograph, because the left hand portion of it is in a very narrow passageway.

Solar often presents his letters in an unconventional and wobbly kind of anti-style, but his finishing and quality are far from an anti-style mindset. The letters are nicely filled with some fine black lines breaking up the monotony. There are plenty of white highlights and starbursts, creating a sparkle and the double border creates a tidy boundary between the letters and the black decorated background. A fine piece by Solar.

7949. Peel Street Green (70)

Michal, Peel Street Green, Bristol, September 2026

The day this was painted, I was lucky enough to meet the artist, and we stopped for a long conversation. Although he writes MICHAL here, he is also known as Miso, and I have referred to him as such in collaborations he has made with Zase and Real143. What they have in common is their Slovakian nationality, which I asked him about. He told me that Decor, who used to collaborate with Zase before returning to his homeland, is considered to be a bit of a street art god back home.

I was first attracted to this piece by the way Michal had picked out the brickwork with different colours, giving the background a pixelated appearance. The beautifully written letters have a lovely proportion about them and a gentle orange colour transition, well blended, horizontally from light to dark. A black drop shadow lifts the piece from the wall in this fine piece from a lovely gentleman.

7948. Sparke Evans Park (162)

j9949j, Sparke Evans Park, Bristol, September 2026

I wish I had a proper name for the elusive j9449j. I use the Instagram handle that he had when I first worked out who he was, but this has changed several times since then, and my convention is to stick to the first name I used to keep consistency in my posts, and make searches easier. Other similar situations exist with Slim Pickings and Biers.

This is a wonderfully colourful piece, full of reds, blues and pale bluey-white. I have no idea what the elaborate writing spells, I never do with j9449j, although it links like the word might start and end with a ‘T’. The patterns and shapes are characteristically organic, with plenty of references to nature… I think there might even be a snail in there somewhere. A beautifully presented and large piece from j9449j or whoever he is.

7946. Dean Lane skate park (944)

Dibz and Fade, Dean Lane, Bristol, September 2026

The last two or three years have quite simply been phenomenal for Dibz and Fade. The duo collaborate regularly, particularly when the weather is clement, and also seem to be at the heart of larger collaborations and production walls. Ever present and ever brilliant.

This is a lively tribute piece for Helch RIP, who I believe was a London-based graffiti artist. Who used a lot of large block letters in his work, which are faithfully and respectfully replicated in this collaboration. Helch passed away in August this year aged only 34 years. A lovely tribute.

7944. St Werburghs tunnel (597)

Hypo, St Werburghs, Bristol, September 2026

Good morning. Despite a relatively quiet year, Hypo is always capable of turning out great pieces, and it is always a pleasure to come across one of them. This was painted as part of a small paint jam in honour of Donz’ birthday (I think).

Stepping back from this piece, I can almost imagine it is a fragmemnt of a chrome car bumper, with reflections of the blue sky in the top half and the sandy dirt along the bottom half (is it just me that sees this?). The natural colours are arranged in horizontal strips through the letters HYPO, and are liberally sprinkled with little red spheres in the interstitial spaces. Black spots and icicle drips round the piece of nicely. More apperances by Posh characters dancing around the outside.
