Nice One is one of the most dynamic artists in Bristol, switching up his font writing with his portraits and landscapes. This hoarding, which he has kind of made his own, is currently hosting this magnificent winter scene, the sort of composition so rarely painted in Bristol or anywhere else for that matter.

The snow, the church, the bare trees and the milky sky offer a taste of a classic English winter landscape. The trees are particularly evocative of a cold winter’s day. The artist has included his letters Nice One in orange and only partially present, a trademark mechanism he uses. I am rather pleased that the colours of the sky in his piece are mirrored by the sky in the photograph, demonstrating the relevance and accuracy of his artwork. A winter wonderland.

I am particularly fond of graffiti writers who present clean, clear letters conforming to a rough ‘house style’ where the differences from one piece to the next is in the creativity of the fills. None more so than Nips, whose excellence in this genre just keeps on improving.

The letters lend themselves rather well to graffiti writing, with perhaps the exception of the ‘N’ which can be a bit clunky. Nips has provided a nice clean red ‘canvass’ on which to present her letters, which are filled with some delightful blended pastel colours and a few decorative squiggles and spots. Nips has had a very strong end of 2025, and unlike other artists hasn’t been put off too much by the inclement weather. Great work.

Mage, M32 roundabout, Bristol, December 2025

Mage has, as I said a few days ago, been incredibly productive this year, turning out quick and dirty pieces as well as some rather classy pieces along the way, of which this is one.

I still think that the letters MAGE are quite clunky, but he manages to turn out some great pieces with these tricky letters. The greyscale pixelated pattern works brilliantly inside the pink drop shadow, an amazing colour combination. The lines are crisp and tight, suggesting some care and time were spent on this piece. I have noticed that Mage likes to set his pieces on a kind of diamond-shaped background, and have to remember to include it in the frame for the photographs I take of his work. Greta stuff from Mage.

I can’t quite believe it, but I think that this is the first piece by Luna that I have posted on Natural Adventures, despite having several photographs of their graffiti writing from the last couple of years. Luna often paints alongside Bbygwya (Flux, Lux) and Roma, and follows a similar approach.

Luna’s letters are all about a certain amount of consistency in the letter shapes, and then going to town a little with the fills. Here the letters include an extra ‘H’ at the end for a bit of fun, and the fills have a cosmic cloud effect which is rather impressive. Note to self… post more pieces by Luna in 2026.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Sub, Peel Street Green, Bristol, December 2025

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.

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.

Rusk, River Avon, Bristol, December 2025

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.

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.

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.
