Writer – Page 140 – Natural adventures

5141. Brunel Way (202)

I feel like I have posted so many Logoe pieces over the last eighteen months or so, that I don’t really need to say too much, in fact can’t say too much that I haven’t said before – to summarise; script writing, great colour palette and horizontal strip of oval dots adding interest.

I suppose that what is slightly different about this chrome writing is that the letters are a bit fatter than of late, and there are a rather nice couple of underlines incorporated into the piece. Some great shout-outs to Haka, Tes (Slim Pickings), Kush and Silent Hobo, accompany the piece. More to come from Logoe’s most recent Bristol blitz.

Raid, M32 Cycle path, Bristol, March 2023

In mid-March, I first posted a piece by Raid, saying that there was more to come. Today is the third piece from the artist to appear on Natural Adventures and there will be plenty more this year I’m sure.

Raid is a graffiti writer who likes to keep a fixed general shape and design of his letters, but introduces the magic with fills, shadows, borders and backgrounds. One of the very clever techniques he uses, and which I haven’t really seen from other artists, is to use two colours in the 3D drop shadow, in this instance black augmented with green ‘slabs’ or ovals, which adds texture and depth to the edges. The silver letters are nicely patterned with a blue and pink ridge line and some spots for good measure. I am interested to see where Raid takes us on his painting journey.

5139. Brunel Way (201)

I have been photographing Kush pieces for a few years, but I think that this might be the first that I have published. I think that this horrendous under-representation on Natural Adventures has simply been down to not knowing who Kush is or even which artists he associates with. Anyhow, I feel it is time to start publishing his work, so expect to see some archive Kush pieces over the coming weeks and months.

Kush is an artist who pretty much always writes the same letters but always in a different form or design, demonstrating his skill, experience and technique on every outing. This piece, under Brunel Way, has rather nice curvy, cartoonish letters which are filled with a wonderful splash of colours – this is a classy piece. It might be my imagination, but it feels like Kush is painting more frequently these days, which means I am sure to be featuring his work more often.

5138. M32 roundabout J3 (461)

Face 1st, M32 roundabout, Bristol, March 2023

When I first encountered Face 1st’s work, his pieces were more commonly painted solo, with occasional PWA paint jams, particularly with Soap, but more recently he has rarely painted without some of his buddies, this piece on the M32 roundabout being an exception. Maybe all his PWA mates were busy that day.

I love the way that Face 1st constantly plays with new ideas and themes, and then adds them to his repertoire. This is a traditional Face 1st idea, a face with hair spelling FACE, but the letters are deep 3D block letters which he has been including more often recently, and there is a lot of gloopy dripping going on, something he started to include in his work about two years ago. This is a fun and eye-catching piece from the prolific Face 1st.

5136. Cumberland Basin

Klashwhensober, Cumberland Basin, Bristol, March 2023

Klashwhensober continues to paint frequently, and in as many spots as he can find. These two pieces are from Cumberland Basin, in slightly different places. The first piece, on a virgin wall, is rather noticeable as it is on the side of one of the buildings that have something to do with the lock gates into the Floating Harbour. Definitely an edgy spot.

I was fortunate enough to catch up klashwhensober while he was painting this rather nice blue piece. Strangely, this was our second encounter in two days, after a long period when our paths didn’t cross at all. We got talking a lot, and it turns out that we have more in common than we might have thought, including attendance at the same school in London, although at completely different times.

The piece itself is fairly straightforward, spelling SOBER with nicely defined letters and plenty of designs in the fills. There are no ‘explosive’ elements in the writing, which has been a bit of a trend recently, but it is nicely done nonetheless.

5135. Moon Street (104)

Bbygwya, Moon Street, Bristol, March 2023

I have a feeling that we are going to see a lot more of Bbygwya’s work on Natural Adventures over the coming months. This RBF crew member has only recently arrived on my radar, but I know I already have a handful of her works in my photograph folders.

I haven’t yet worked out what the letters spell, but I am sure that Paul H will be able to help me out with that (it seems obvious now, but Paul H informs me it says FLUKS). This is accomplished writing, with a pleasing form and nicely crafted fills, drop shadow and background elements. I am also happy to see that Moon street is having a little bit of a renaissance at the moment. Watch this space for more from Bbygwya.

5133. Brunel Way (200)

Kid Krishna, Brunel Way, Bristol, March 2023

With this piece, that incidentally didn’t last very long, Kid Krishna demonstrated his incredible versatility. If I hadn’t met him when he was painting this piece, I’m not sure that I would have known it was one of his, although the fact that it was painted next to a Markinetic piece might have been a bit of a clue, together with the FFS, NKA and TPN.

I think that I can see the letters CRIE in this rather more traditional wildstyle graffiti writing, which is so full of different textures and tones – a classy piece of work. We chatted for quite a long time, and I like it that Kid Krishna seems to be happy to stop and chew the fat – the subject of our conversation was one I seem to be having a lot lately, and the clamp down by BCC on graffiti/street art, and the recent announcement from the Government (and opposition) bout antisocial behaviour.

Of course in my mind, there is a big difference between tagging someone’s front door, which is vandalism, and painting creative artworks in places that have a culture of such. Maybe a topic of conversation for another post.

5132. St Werburghs tunnel (364)

Logoe, St Werburghs, Bristol, March 2023

Logoe has been back in town and that can only mean one thing… lots of new pieces painted over a couple of days, liberally sprinkled in a variety of spots around the city. This is the first of his new batch I am posting, so expect a few more over the coming weeks.

Written in rather attractive colours, the beautiful script letters flow effortlessly across the wall at the end of the tunnel. There is a rather nice series of peaks at the top of the letters, and an ellipsis at the start of the word Logoe. No recent Logoe piece is complete without a spread of oval spots running along the length of the piece. Great to have him visit again.

5131. Dean Lane skate park (585)

Nugmoose, Dean Lane, Bristol, March 2023

I would think that it is fair to say that Nugmoose is one of the most original artists in Bristol, and his ‘organic alien’ style is unlike anything else we see in the city. He usually paints alongside Mommy Nature these days, but unfortunately, when I got to photograph this, her adjacent jelly piece had already been painted over. You’ve got to be quick in this game.

Quite what goes on in Nugmoose’s mind is unfathomable, but his pieces always generate a certain amount of curiosity. He has a way of combining alien writing with organic forms, and he has treated us to a couple of humanoid aliens, a squid-type creature and a couple of alien items of fast food, or so it looks. Weird and compelling.
