519. Dean Lane skate park (27)

It would appear that Mr Draws has recently had an epiphany. The master of drawing mountains has started to do some writing, which is all rather exciting really. I have seen several of his new pieces in the Stokes Croft area, and this one in Dean Lane is rather good.

I enjoy his selection of colours and the block capitals. Turning the A upside down seems to work really well. Adding this new dimension to his portfolio can only be a really good thing. I wonder where this adventure will take him. I note it has recently taken him to Leake Street in London.

435. Wilder Street (9)

Just once in a while you see a wall and just go ‘wow’. This was one of those walls. Deamze, Voyder and Soker have collaborated before and seem to really go to town when they do. My only regret posting this is that these pictures really don’t do the wall justice, the pinks are absolutely amazing.

Deamze has a brilliant theme going on with a cartoon character rounding off his moniker. A quick Google search informs me it is from Dexter’s Laboratory – not a cartoon I am familiar with…it’s my age.

 

Voyder is in the middle, as usual, and sprays his signature with those beautiful curving letters. I wonder if their positioning is like the ‘Ant and Dec’ thing where one always has to stand on one side, and the other on the other.

Joining the work of Voyder and Soker is a ‘tweetie pie’, I’m not sure which of them sprayed it, but it spans the two pieces well.

Soker rounds off the triptych with great wildstyle writing that we are used to seeing from such a master. These three pieces together are genuinely breathtaking. Let’s hope these three get together again soon.

409. Wilder Street (7)

I’m trying to work through some of the pictures I have been meaning to post for a while…there is just too much talent in Bristol.

This is a subtle little piece by 3Dom on a small side path off Wilder Street, which I photographed back in June, long before all the Upfest excitement. The unusual work has an emphasis on mushrooms – what kind we can only guess, but the whole piece has an hallucinogenic quality to it.

3Dom is utterly brilliant – there is little more to say really.

395. M32 Roundabout J3 (16)

On the West side of the M32 roundabout there is a long concrete wall which runs next to a pathway and which reduces in height along its length. About midway along this wall is this magnificent Epok piece.

So typically Epok wildstyle writing, and a fabulous selection of colours. It really is outstanding in every sense of the word. It is in the part of the wall where the pathway narrows, so it is very difficult to photograph pieces here unless taken from the sides, or using fisheye lenses.

Epok’s works have lovely simple and clean lines and blends smooth curves with angular shapes to create the EPOK letters. Always pleasurable to see.
