7356. Peel Street Green (56)

After a couple of very busy days in London, and returning to Bristol late last night, we had a lie in thin morning, the likes of which we haven’t had for many years. What that means of course is that I have to write today’s posts in record time because we have a ton of pre-Christmas jobs to do today.

Seed, Peel Street Green, Bristol, December 2025

Seed is working really hard to make his mark on the graffiti writing scene. He has hooked up with Asre and Zinso, who will be able to guide him and teach him a few tricks along the way. I have met him only once, but his ambition and desire to improve were clear. This is a rather nice piece with large overlapping letters in a combination of greens. The lower part, I think has incorporated the artwork of the previous occupant of the spot, which fortunately is in complementary greens. Keep your eyes peeled for more from Seed.

7355. Cumberland Basin

Mage, Cumberland Basin, Bristol, November 2025

More from Mage, this time his writing has a slightly softer feel to it. I have said before that the letters MAGE, in my view are a little unforgiving, although lots of straight lines and sharp edges. By incorporating a lower case ‘a’ and ‘e’ Mage has managed to smooth out some of the lines.

The two tone pink letters are bordered with a brown drop shadow, and you will know my feelings about brown by now, so possibly another colour would have been my preference. Mage has been a busy boy this autumn.

7354. St Werburghs tunnel (555)

Posh, St Werburghs, Bristol, November 2025

Another amazing piece of detailed sketchy writing from Posh, this time as part of the Minto Birthday paint jam. Once again, I can see letter shapes here, but really struggle to be able to read them. I could assume that they might say Posh, but Who knows?

There are some nice earthy colours in this piece, but it is the sketchy scribbles and details that mark this out as a Posh piece. Nice script shout-outs to Minto and Ticks. I expect to see more of these in the new year.

7352. Cumberland Basin

Wispa and Jody, Cumberland Basin, Bristol, November 2025

I was lucky enough to be present when this piece was being painted, but stupid enough not to say hello to one of the artists. I had been chatting for a while with Esme Lower who was painting next to this piece, and needed to get back home, so said a quick hello to Jody and unfortunately didn’t talk to the lady who was painting with him as I didn’t recognise her and had to dash. What an idiot – it wasn’t until I returned to the piece that I was realised I had been standing in the presence of the brilliant Wispa. Note to self – always say hello if you get a chance.

Jody and Wispa have painted this wonderful combination piece, with the letters W_SPA from Wispa and the masked character by Jody. I don’t know who the character is, but the metallic shine to the mask and helmet is superb. Wispa’s letters are, as ever, immaculate. Next time I’ll make sure I say hello.

7351. St Werburghs tunnel (554)

Noise, St Werburghs, Bristol, November 2025

More from the Minto birthday paint jam, this time from Noise, and what very classy piece of writing it is too. I think I can safely say that this is the best attended birthday paint jam I have seen in Bristol, with both walls of the tunnel occupied.

Noise has used the tried and tested combination of gold (yellow) and red, and fancied up his letters a bit, and slimmed them down fractionally too. I like the ‘wire fence’ effect around the outside of the piece, not something I have seen before – most original.

7349. M32 Spot (210)

There are a lot of contenders for surging artist of the year in Bristol, and what I mean by that is artists who have been about a while, but taken huge steps forward in 2025. Candidates would include, Zinso, Asre, Creamylines and of course, Posh.

In the latter half of the year, Posh appears to have been concentrating on his graffiti writing. His style is difficult to pin down, but I would describe it as ‘busy abstract scribble’. It is obvious that there are some letters here, but far less obvious what those letters might be. Posh likes to work with darkish colours, and has used this blue/green combination a few times recently. This is a nice piece, tucked away in a corner of the M32 spot.

7348. M32 cycle path (299)

Mage, M32 Cycle path, Bristol, December 2025

Mage has had a rather prolific year, more so than you might think from his occasional appearances on Natural Adventures. I will try to catch up on a few of his pieces, but might need to resort to a king of mini-gallery to catch up.

This piece, behind the Black Swan, is a nicely considered piece and Mage has spent some time, it would seem, in finishing it nicely, where sometimes his works appear to be a little rushed. Mage has chosen some great colours, I love the contrasting greens. The letter fill has a smart ‘barcode’ appearance, but for me what makes the piece is the red dots and stars that set everything off perfectly. A banging piece.

7347. M32 roundabout J3 (731)

Lupa, M32 roundabout, Bristol, November 2025

Every once in a while, the walls of the M32 roundabout are treated to a new coat of grey paint courtesy of the council and courts in the form of community service. It is a marginally futile exercise, because it never takes too long for freshly buffed walls to be tagged and painted by street/graffiti artists. A blank canvass is an irresistible itch that needs to be scratched.

Lupa, who has been fairly quiet this year, has painted this rather nice chrome piece in one of the tunnels under the roundabout. The chrome has picked up some of the colours of its immediate environment, such as the glow of the orange lighting and the light reflecting in from the ends of the tunnel, creating a warm effect. Her chunky letters are bordered with a pink line, although there is a small mistake on the top of the ‘U’ where the border encroaches too far (nit-picking). I love the happy/sad faces, and it is great to see her work again.

7346. River Avon (105)

Zinso, River Avon, Bristol, November 2025

Haha! I love this tidy piece of graffiti writing from Zinso alongside the banks of the River Avon. Every element of this nicely thought out piece works well and from my perspective, the best thing to do is respect it and enjoy it.

It was a sensible move to buff the wall first, because a cool piece like this could be lost if simply dropped onto existing graffiti. The letter fills are made up of a lovely blend of blues, greens and purples, including spots and drips. The doughnut at the end is simply perfect and adds a touch of humour to the piece. A black drop shadow and orange border round the piece off nicely. I also like the inverted ‘i’ and the little heart above the writing. Very nice work from Zinso.

7345. St Werburghs tunnel (553)

Hire, St Werburghs, Bristol, November 2025

There is still plenty more to share with you from Minto’s birthday paint jam in the tunnel, which was so incredibly well attended. This is a fine contribution from Hire, which was near the entrance to the tunnel.

Hire has written MINTO, which, although difficult to see, becomes more obvious each time you look at it. His distinctive spiky letters appear to emanate from a bright light, like a golden sun, with a central vanishing point above the piece. The piece is nicely finished with a some softer curls of green decoration. A great piece from Hire.
