7520. River Avon (114)

Werm, River Avon, Bristol, February 2026

Werm has been on fire this year, turning out a variety of tight pieces, each with a slightly different look. This piece brings us back to his favoured structural letter style with a solid bilateral symmetry.

What makes this one stand out for me is the superb colour selection and freshness of the piece. Everything is near perfect. The letters are beautifully proportioned. The turquoise fill with its contiguous pattern of blue circles joined with lines has a molecular model feel to it, and is simply amazing. The red border is regular and clean and the piece sits on a beige buffed wall with superb red bricks randomly distributed. A very classy piece from Werm.

7519. M32 roundabout J3 (750)

Rakem, M32 roundabout, Bristol, February 2026

This is the last of five outstanding wildstyle graffiti writing pieces that were painted alongside each other a couple of weeks ago. This final piece is by Rakem, and is technically outstanding. While the letters are heavily disguised, they can be quite easily read if you know what to look for.

I don’t know the artist, and haven’t posted his work before. I have a feeling he might be from Cardiff, but am not sure. The work speaks for itself, and any description I offer wouldn’t do the piece justice. Fabulous work from all five artists:

Hemper, M32 roundabout, Bristol, February 2026

Turoe, M32 roundabout, Bristol, February 2026

Cesto One, M32 roundabout, Bristol, February 2026

Karmone, M32 roundabout, Bristol, February 2026

7517. M32 Cycle path (309)

Nips, M32 Cycle path, Bristol, February 2026

Nips has been super-busy recently, which is a good thing, because I love her work. Normally I wax lyrical about her fills, but in this instance it is a straightforward chrome fill, with some minimal black accent lines and spots.

What makes this piece for me is the wall preparation of a dark blue background, and the vibrant lime green/yellow outline, which combine to help this piece stand out and shout. Imagine if there had been no background or strong border, the writing would be in danger of being absorbed by the wall altogether. A wonderful bold piece from Nips.

7516. Berwick Road

3Dom, Berwick Road, Bristol, February 2026

I feel particularly squeezed for time today, so this might be short. As you will know the lion’s share of my photographic street art trips are accompanied by my dog. We wander about in some of the less desirable places of the city and snap away. Occasionally he will pull me in a direction I wasn’t planning, but that may lead to a new discovery, and so it was when I found this modest piece by 3Dom.

Painted on a rather grubby hoarding, the letters 3DOM can clearly be made out. I love his style of writing, which he has made all his own, and it is always immaculately presented. He includes the words ‘there were lobsters on the Titanic waiting to be eaten’, which I think means that there was a small and just breadcrumb of a positive outcome from the sinking of the Titanic – there might be a hint of class war in the sentiment too. My guess only – It isn’t a phrase I have heard before.

7515. Dean Lane skate park (907)

Jee See, Dean Lane, Bristol, February 2026

I was tipped-off by Jee See that he had painted this piece in Dean Lane, and a couple of days later he was painting on the roundabout, unfortunately I arrived at that one literally minutes too late, as someone was painting over his piece there. At least I got to this one in time.

I have enjoyed Jee See’s work for years now, having first met him a long time ago under the M32, while he was painting a column there. His SEISMIC pieces have become a signature design, in which he folds his letters on top of one another and makes them stand out with deep drop shadows. This one is painted in rather downbeat greys and blacks, but manages to command this end of the wall. Great to see Jee See out and about.

7514. Sparke Evans Park (144)

Biers, Sparke Evans Park, Bristol, February 2026

I knew from my Instagram feed that Biers has changes his letters recently from WD40 to RABIES, and this is the first piece that I have seen in his new persona. I have to say that I really like his choice and the enthusiasm that has come with it. Furthermore, I think it gives him more scope than his former WD40 option.

The letters in this wonderful chrome piece are a little unruly, in a good way. I also note that the second half of his letters BIES, isn’t too far away from BIERS, which are the letters I first associate with him. The sparse decoration in the letters is just the right amount, and the contrast with the red background separated only by the thinnest of yellow lines. This might signal the start of a refreshed Biers – I hope so.

7512. Dean Lane skate park (906)

I enjoy observing new artists who try to break out onto the scene, and after all, all graffiti/street artists have to start somewhere. As they progress, they will make mistakes, both in their art, and equally importantly regarding etiquette. Even I fall foul of this from time to time – there are codes and principles, even if there are ‘no rules’. On this occasion, Seed painted his large letters recently, over a beauty by Werm. Generally speaking you shouldn’t paint over something that you are not equal to or better than, and Seed isn’t yet at Werm’s level. The logical consequence is that you end up with only high-end pieces on all walls, and that is where taggers and bombers come in, freeing up walls to be painted again.

Seed is learning gradually, and improves from piece to piece, but his work is still rather crude. His letters here are large and square, and his 3D drop shadow missing on the bottom of them. He is experimenting with some plasma lines to break up the large swathes of pink. He has also included a little cartoon-style character, completing the combination piece. Keep practicing and perhaps stick to practice walls for the time being.

7511. Sparke Evans Park (143)

Solar, Sparke Evans Park, Bristol, February 2026

Since first creeping onto my radar, Solar has gone from strength to strength, and is now turning out some high quality pieces that are most attractive to the eye. In this instance I will forgive the overwhelming amount of brown and concentrate on the style of the piece.

The letters are isolated from oner another thanks to a yellow drop shadow, and their shapes are rather unruly, although adhering to his overall style. Each letter has the appearance of a boulder with cracks running through, a fairly common device used in graffiti writing. The whole piece is finished off with some contrasting starbursts and a not to PLB (Placebo) and tribute shout-out to Paroe.

7509. M32 roundabout J3 (749)

This is the fourth piece from a collaborative wall, that offers a masterclass in wildstyle graffiti writing. A group of artists, from Cardiff I think, joined Hemper and Turoe to create this magnificent ‘gallery’, heralding a fresh start to 2026. The stunner was painted by Karmone, who has appeared in Natural Adventures a couple of times before, but is far from a regular.

The letters spell MRAK, which is KARM backwards. Every part of this writing oozes class, confidence and expertise. The letter shapes are disguised enough to make reading slightly tricky. The wonderful complementary colours transition perfectly with some clever techniques and devices being used. There is a great drop shadow bounded at the bottom with a fine pulsing yellow line. Even the dark grey background has subtle patterns, raising it above the ordinary. A lovely piece from Karmone.

7508. Sparke Evans Park (142)

Totosoapcity, Sparke Evans Park, Bristol, February 2026

Some beautiful and distinctive letters from Totosoapcity, who prefers to be referred to as ARSA. When I have time, I will change all the images I have of his work to ARSA, but this takes a lot longer than one might think. Rather like Werm’s pieces there is a lot of convergence on a bilateral symmetry in ARSA’s pieces, which is cleverly presented.

The grey and cream letters with a rather nice red drop shadow seem to ‘hover’ above a mustard yellow background. This is not an ordinary background, but one that has a kind of pixelated appearance, breaking up any monotony. A nice fresh and vibrant piece from ARSA.
