Every once in a while a top-end collaborative piece appears, and when it does, it simply needs to be admired for its craftsmanship. This is a wicked three-piece collaboration from three established and gifted artists, 3Dom, Dibz and Cheo.

I don’t know if there is an overall theme here, but on the left is an anti-war piece by 3Dom featuring a warring world going up in flames, and a frog-type character seemingly in despair. The gold and blue writing from Dibz is a classic piece of wildstyle writing, delivered with total competence and control. Finally, the TV head character on the right by Cheo has overtones of Evil Edna, a character from a children’s cartoon series called Willow the Wisp. The whole thing is both brilliant and unsettling. Bravo!

Sumo, M32 roundabout, Bristol, March 2026

I have posted two recent pieces by Sumo, both were combination works in which a Sumo wrestler featured prominently. This time the artist has gone with letters only, and what beautifully presented letters they are.

Sumo, M32 roundabout, Bristol, March 2026

Spelling SUMO (unsurprisingly), the letters are woven together in an interesting way in both the design and the fill patterning. A very shadowy drop shadow lifts the piece nicely from the blue buffed background. I haven’t seen any more pieces from Sumo since this one, but live in hope and anticipation for more.

Today is not a good day from me to write a blog post – I am wrestling with some restructuring at work, and will be up against a dear team colleague, and maybe others, for the only post at my grade that will remain – down from three. Plenty of disruption and upset between now and September when the structure goes live.

This is a beauty from Neddy Ned Ned on the water pumping station at L Dub. Spelling WISKA, the dazzling piece in the bright sunshine is beautifully presented in every aspect. The yellows, pinks and blue background work remarkably well together. Great work from Neddy Ned Ned.

Wes, Dean Lane, Bristol, April 2026

Of course, having only first met Wes a month or two back, I haven’t quite worked since been finding his pieces everywhere, both old and new. This one is tucked away on the swimming pool wall behind a hedge and railing.

Wes, Dean Lane, Bristol, April 2026

This is a very bold piece heavily filled with black paint and incorporating flashes of red and yellow. It is quite unusual to see work quite so heavily dominated with black paint, but Wes gets away with it here by including a white drop shadow and contrasting blue/turquoise backdrop. Interesting piece from Wes.

This is a wonderful, colourful, up beat splash of a piece by Kool Hand, painted as part of a paint jam, I think for Kid Crayon’s birthday, but am not certain.

Kool Hand has been enjoying his writing lately, and he is improving with every new piece. The colour combinations and curvy font make this piece very easy on the eye. Time, I think, to update his impressive gallery of work (just done it).

7592. Cumberland Basin

Minto, Cumberland Basin, Bristol, March 2026

The better weather has definitely produced an uptick in activity in Bristol, and Minto, like so many other artists, has been making up for a quiet winter. This is a classic piece of Minto writing, full of intriguing details and stories.

Minto, Cumberland Basin, Bristol, March 2026

The letters spell MINTO in a turquoise theme colour throughout. A little character with a hat and sunglasses is towards the left of the piece. Although there is so much going on in this busy piece, everything is in place and the finishing is first class. More to come from the fabulous Minto soon.

Jee See, Brunel Way, Bristol, March 2026

Jee See’s work may not be to everyone’s taste, but I have a real soft spot for its authenticity and the way it represents so much of what grassroots street/graffiti art is all about in Bristol. This column piece plays host to one of his signature ‘seismic’ pieces.

Jee See, Brunel Way, Bristol, March 2026

The chunky letters form a deep-set block draped down the column. The chrome letters take on an interesting reflective look, picking up on various tints from the light beyond the flyover. Jee See doesn’t paint all that much these days, so I like to post his work when I find it.

Veks, L Dub, Bristol, March 2026

I wasn’t expecting to find much at L Dub the last time I went there, because I had it in my head that it tends to be fairly quiet there during the winter months. My assumption was rather scuppered though when I came across quite a few pieces I had never seen before, including this lovely classic style combination piece with a modern look by Veks.

The character is an update on the more traditional b-boy look, wearing a two blue tone hoodie and offering a fist bump with the letters ACAB tattooed on his knuckles. The writing too has a modern feel to it, spelling VEK!. The fill of the letters has a stone or rock appearance, with a couple of cracks running through, and the yellow (gold) drop shadow does an extraordinary at lifting the piece from the wall. Overall a great modern classic.

Kid Crayon, Stapleton Road, Bristol, March 2026

This spring has seen a surge of pieces by Kid Crayon, which from my perspective is always very welcome indeed. This X-Men piece was painted as part of a collaborative wall with SPZero76 and Tera.

This combination piece has a slightly different look from the curvy writing we are used to seeing from Kid Crayon who has adapted his style a little to fit with an X-Men appearance, which he has wholly bought into, so much so that he has dropped his signature floating crayon. The character is Cyclops, with his destructive laser eyes. Fun stuff.

Over the winter, Dibz has been reasonably quiet, but it is noticeable that the frequency of his newly painted pieces is beginning to pick up a little. Here he has teamed up with Rusk to create this fine combination collaboration

The collaboration is one of those where the colour palette is what joins them, with Dibz providing the writing and Rusk the character. This was an early birthday piece for Soker, so the letters spell SOKER. The colours blue and gold (yellow) work well together, and as ever, Dibz work is immaculate.

Rusk, M32 roundabout, Bristol, March 2026

Rusk has plumped for a character piece rather than letters, but he is equally at home with either. The classic character with baseball cap and spraycan is holding a rather growly dog on a tight leish. The words say ‘every dog has its day’ – perhaps an oblique reference to Soker’s birthday. Altogether a nice piece from the pair.
