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.

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.

Really quick ones today. I am unexpectedly dropping my son and a friend off at Heathrow this morning after a last minute change of plans, so am very short of time to write posts. This is a rather nice one from Mage on the roundabout.

Mage has had an incredible 2025, and his work can be seen absolutely everywhere in Bristol. It seems as if he is on a mission. The quality of his work is variable, but his energy and enthusiasm unmatched. This is a bit of a beauty, with his angular letter shapes, but those fills are to die for. Excellent stuff.

Tucked away in the corner of Montpelier Park is a wall that is well worth a look every once in a while. At the moment, it is occupied by Butch alongside some graffiti writing by Beer.

I have always said that there is something about the letter shapes and the way that Butch overlaps them that I find most attractive, I can’t put my finger on it, but it works for me. The letters are filled with horizontal layers of blue tones and a royal blue drop shadow. Somehow this blue aggregation works really well against the predominantly red noisy graffiti background, which isn’t always the case when painting messy walls. A nice way for Butch to round off 2025.

During the second half of last year, I thoroughly enjoyed witnessing the coming together of Asre and Zinso, which felt like a perfect match in terms of writing styles. Asre has had a great year, producing no end of graffiti writing pieces and thrown in a few characters too along the way.

This is a modest piece on the wall of the Dean Lane swimming pool which includes shout-outs to his graffiti friends. The nicely designed letters are filled with four horizontally laid out shades of blue, with some reversing-out of bubbles between layers. Buffing out the wall might have helped with shutting out the noise from around the piece, but it actually is fine as it is. Looking forward to lots more in 2026.

There is a little corner of the M32 Spot where some new, small hoardings have been erected and Hypo, painting with Posh and Kool Hand wasted no time in decorating them.

This is a smaller piece than I am used to seeing from Hypo, but it contains many of the elements of his developing style, in particular a liberal sprinkling of small spheres reflecting the main five colours of the letter fills. Nice shout-outs to Ticks RIP and Minto. Fun under the M32.

The Peel Street Green spot is a funny one. Sometimes it can go for weeks without any refreshes, and other times it can change every few days. It is one of those places that I need to visit regularly just in case, it is also quite a nice walk with the dog alongside the River Frome.

This piece by Bbygwya (AKA – Lux, Luxe, Flux) was part of a birthday paint jam for Roma I think. The letters LUXIE are nicely presented, with some great fading in her fill work of pinks and greys. Her letters are given a lift with some white highlights and white corner spots. Altogether a nice piece of graffiti writing from Lux.

There are a few writers who stick to their letters and work on improving them from piece to piece, this being one of them. This might be the best I have seen so far from Roma, which was painted alongside Bbygwya (Luxe/Flux).

The turquoise, blue and black colours work well together in this piece and the steady drop shadow in white contrasts nicely. A light blue plasma streak runs through all the letters, giving off a bit of a glow, which adds interest to the whole idea. Some scribbled butterflies finish the piece off nicely. All good work from Roma.
