Zinso, M32 roundabout, Bristol, April 2026

At this moment in time, I think that I am deriving the most pleasure from the rise and rise of Zinso. He returned to painting walls in Bristol last year, and has been turning our pieces on a regular basis, each one an improvement on the last. Zinso brings together a great sense of form and colour in his letters, and his crisp finishing is a joy.

There is a nice pattern to the colour fills in this piece, running from greens to oranges to purples to oranges to greens. The fill patterns are different in each letter and each is beautifully executed. Set on a nicely buffed wall, this, in my view is a great piece of graffiti writing. Eyecatching.

Kid Crayon, Cumberland Basin, Bristol, April 2026

Oh! My heart sings every time I see a new Kid Crayon piece. It is looking like 2026 is shaping up to be a productive one for the artist, and it seems like he has freed up a bit more time to paint than in recent years, which from my perspective is a good thing.

Kid Crayon has written his letters, each with a different colour and style, which makes for an interesting piece with plenty to look at and admire. SkyHigh is another artist who often adopts this approach. In this combination piece a character replaces the ‘O’ and floating just outside his mouth is the signature crayon – which is always good to see. More to come soon from one of my Bristol favourites.

Weas, Dean Lane, Bristol, April 2026

You have to look hard to find this piece by Weas painted on the swimming pool wall behind the now lush hedge. The passageway here is quite narrow, so the photographs are on full wide-angle mode to capture the whole thing.

I think that I prefer Weas’ full combination pieces over his mega-tags that litter the streets of Bristol… there is even one on a utility box in my street. These more extensive pieces show us what he can do when he spends a little more time painting. The letters WEASEL in black across the bottom are accompanied by four (three purple) ghost-like characters weaving their way about. It is versions of these characters that are a familiar sight in the City. A nicely executed piece, hidden from view.

Werm, M32 roundabout, Bristol, April 2026
Werm, M32 roundabout, Bristol, April 2026

I think it is fair to say that Werm has been on fire this year, and this piece on the roundabout is further proof of that. First off, his colour combinations leap off the wall and make this a rather mesmerising piece.

The symmetrical letters spelling WERM are filled with tidy vertical stripes in warm browns, reds and oranges. These are contained within a double white and turquoise border and supported with an upwards drop shadow offering perspective. A very nice tidy piece from Werm.

Taboo, Cumberland Basin, Bristol, April 2026
Taboo, Cumberland Basin, Bristol, April 2026

I don’t tend to find as many new Taboo pieces as I used to, and that might be down to two factors. He might be painting less frequently, and/or maybe he isn’t painting the regular spots so often, and so I don’t come across his work as much. The upshot is that finding any pieces by the artist these days is a happy moment.

I have a feeling that this piece was painted as part of a birthday paint jam, I forget who for though. The red letters in anti-style form spell out TABOO in a combination of lettering and designs, with the second ‘O’ being formed of a jail window with eyes glaring from the dark space behind the bars. A fine piece from Taboo… I need to find more.

Minto, St Werburghs, Bristol, April 2026

This wall is not the easiest to photograph when there is a piece that stretches the length of it on account of a lamppost slap bang in the middle of it. This is an awesome piece by Minto that draws the eye into several focal points running across the piece.

Although a little difficult to make out, the letters MINTO form the spine of the piece. In the middle we see a capped character that blends into an array of stars and lines, and on the right, what looks like a train on tracks bursting out of the dazzling spectacle. There is a lot going on here, and it would be good to understand a little bit more about what lies behind it.

Sait Bare seems to have had a little bit more time on his hands to get out and paint recently. His flurry includes this interesting piece in the long foot tunnel underpass at L Dub. He is definitely in a ‘Bare’ phase at the moment, which is different from the ‘Sait’ period when I first encountered his work back in October 2023.

Sait Bare usually paints pieces with plenty of colours and form, but unusually, he has kept this one to a minimum, using black letters bordered with a vibrant lime green outline. There are minimal additional interventions pretty much restricted to some accent lines outside the letters and some stripey lines. All good stuff from Sait Bare – note to self… time for a gallery methinks.

2Face, Cumberland Basin, Bristol, March 2026
2Face, Cumberland Basin, Bristol, March 2026

It took me a little while to work out who this piece of graffiti writing was by. I got there in the end, but was slow to figure it out, because the artist, 2Face, doesn’t paint very often. The letters spell FACEY, and it is signed, but even so, difficult to pin down.

2Face, Cumberland Basin, Bristol, March 2026

There is quite a lot going on in the orange fills in the lettering, ranging from white cracks at the top through ‘leopard spots’ to a fluid whitish stream of paint running horizontally through the letters. These are all the signs of an experienced artist. 2Face also decorates the piece with a blue plasma bolt, adding another layer to the textured piece. A nicely worked piece of graffiti writing.

Tera, M32 roundabout, Bristol, March 2026
Tera, M32 roundabout, Bristol, March 2026

This is a curious piece by Tera painted at a recent paint jam on the roundabout. It doesn’t really matter how much I try to enhance the image, it is difficult to properly see what is going on without getting up really close. I think that Tera was so into creating the piece (perhaps with a tattooist’s mindset) that he has lost some of the clarity and story in the heavy detail. That is not to say it isn’t a fine piece, rather that it is difficult for the viewer to appreciate.

The combination piece has a dark and rather evil demonic character in the centre, with three eyes, large fangs and a long tongue. It is holding two swords that frame the middle section of the piece. The letters either side of the character spell out TERA, in a nicely crafted style. Overall, Tera shows his raw talent with this piece, but for me, it is a little busy and could do with toning down a bit. Lots more to share from him as he has been out and about a fair bit this spring.
