Face 1st and Zake, Peel Street Green, Bristol, November 2025

I am really impressed that Face 1st has kept up with his intention to visit Bristol from time to time after his move to Herefordshire last year. I guess he knows he can paint freely in Bristol, and he probably has plenty of friends here to visit.

This is a rather unusual combination piece from Face 1st and Zake, featuring some fancy ‘gold’ letters by Face 1st with an incredibly deep drop shadow, and a (satanic) portrait piece in the middle by Zake. Set on a fiery background, there is a hint that this might have been a Halloween piece, but I am not too sure. Some nice shout-outs to Soap and Chill from the PWA crew.

7343. Cumberland Basin

2Face, Cumberland Basin, Bristol, November 2025

I was lucky enough to meet 2Face when he was painting a piece in Dean Lane some months ago, and at the time I think I was expecting to see more of his work about the place. As it happens, this is only the second one I have found, so either he doesn’t paint all that often, or I simply haven’t found his pieces.

These richly decorated letters spell out FACEY in nicely formed shapes with plenty of space for playing with the fills. The palette spans several colours, but it is the eye-catching pink organic looking threads that stand out to me. I think that the bright upper surface of the letters is a little overpowering and unbalances the piece slightly, perhaps dialling it back a bit might’ve worked better. Great to see more from this writer.

Nips, River Avon, Bristol, November 2025

I have always liked Nips’ pieces and as a rule her work is getting better and better. This is a gorgeous and uplifting piece of graffiti writing alongside the river, which certainly catches the eye. Impossible to walk past without a quick glance at the very least.

Nips is known for her imaginative and well executed fills, and this piece is no exception the fill colours are so well blended, and the wibbly blue midline is inspired. The little character replacing the tittle (dot on the i) looks to be a nod to Halloween. This is a truly enjoyable piece.

Kush, River Avon, Bristol, November 2025

Some artists are underrepresented on Natural Adventures, and I strive to work out why this might be. Sometimes it is simply that I don’t like or rate their work (sad but true). Sometimes it is because I don’t really know too much about them, and sometimes it is because I sense that they might rather like the anonymity or simply to keep a low profile. But here’s the thing, painting huge letters or characters on public walls is hardly keeping a low profile, and remaining anonymous or under the radar is a rather high expectation, I would say.

Kush is an established artist whose work has been dotted about the place for a long while. Having said that, I know nothing about him at all. I am guessing he has been around for some time because he has a tribute shout out to CKOne. The letters are nicely rounded, with a three-layer fill and some tidy white highlight lines to give the piece some perspective and depth. Nice work from one of the quieter graffiti writers in Bristol.

7337. Dean Lane skate park (889)

The frequency of output from the dynamic duo that is Dibz and Fade has dropped off somewhat this autumn. There may be many reasons for this, but one of them has to be that there aren’t many walls available to them, largely due to the longevity of their previous collaborations blocking the best walls and rendering them unavailable.

Dibz has created this outstanding ‘hell on earth’ piece with his customary wildstyle graffiti writing, which is about as tidy as you can get. He has filled the wall with a fiery scene, and loads of movement surrounding the static letters, which are in much sharper focus than the background. I love the devil’s trident with the halo – all good stuff.

7336. St Werburghs tunnel (551)

The Art of Sok, St Werburghs, Bristol, November 2025

Now it is the turn of The Art of Sok to celebrate Minto’s birthday with this outstanding piece in the tunnel. The Art of Sok is one of the best cartoon-style character artists out there, creating near-perfection with each piece he paints.

I am guessing that the character in this piece is a werewolf, given that there was a Halloween theme happening in this paint jam, and he has a full moon on the back of his jacket. The cheeky character is holding a thick marker pen and appears to be having a lot of fun. Behind is a wonderful silhouetted spooky landscape, which ran through several pieces on this side of the wall. Beautiful artwork and a fun design.

Zinso, River Avon, Bristol, November 2025

It is absolutely no surprise that Zinso and Asre have teamed up and tend to paint together quite a lot these days. Both have a similar tidy style and both like to use bright and vibrant colour palettes in their work.

This is a beauty from Zinso painted in the tried and tested pink and blue combination of colours. The letters, fills and borders are tight as a nut, and the cartoon-style writing definitely stands out from the crowd. The piece looks really fresh, as if it had been painted moments before the photograph, which, of course, it might have been. I now have more than enough of his work for a gallery – join the queue.

7334. Backfields Lane (4)

Nice One, Backfields Lane, Bristol, November 2025

I don’t often feature dogged or tagged pieces, but I think that there is enough of this Nice One piece to warrant a post. Nice One is a bit of an enigma, painting some wonderful combination pieces and writing in a crisp, clean Times or similar font, all wholesome stuff, and then there is the edge part of his work, where he might paint his letters high up on a building there for posterity – more of this to come soon.

In this piece, a bearded character with a fisherman’s beanie is glancing across at the words Nice One, written in a fine script with some hatching in the contained spaces. A blue bordered rectangle adds structure to the piece. All very nice until you see the draft outline by the newish graffiti writer NONE – he must have been disturbed, and never finished his throw up.

Elvs, St Werburghs, Bristol, November 2025

The number of trips that Elvs makes to Bristol has dramatically dropped off over the last couple of years, which is a real pity. This happens quite a lot as artists, like the rest of us, have life changes that determine how much time we have to do the things we must do (work, household etc) and the things we’d like to do. As we get older, the balance tips in favour of the former (in my experience).

This lovely piece of writing was yet another tribute to Minto on the occasion of his big birthday paint jam. The letters form a solid block, broken up with fine lines and a drop shadow around the edges and the central gaps. The style is quite different from most writers, and requires a different way of building the piece. Great stuff from Elvs.

7332. Dean Lane skate park (888)

It is rather nice to be picking up a rather gentle drumbeat of pieces by Mesk. I have always been aware of his graffiti writing, but only really sought out his work since I met him in the spring.

This is a rather nicely presented chrome piece in the Deaner with the letters MESK clearly bordered with a strong black line. There is a bit of interference with the chrome piece below, which is a pity…a little bit of background decoration might have overcome that. That being said, this is a nice tidy piece.
