mattrshaw- pm'd you

becksaboo-the masked gorilla is on fishponds road, keep going straight at the end of Stapleton road and up the hill towards Eastville park, its about 3/4 of the way up o the right hand side.

[stillborncrisps]

there's also that cats and dogs freehand piece on the side of that anarchist shop - can't remember the road/district - someone help!



Also check the click clak boom on Cato St - and go up the alley at the end of Cato St, there's loads of (non banksy) weird things.

You can get a return from digbeth to bristol by National Express bus for about £20 (or cheaper if you can get their 'fun fares') - takes 2 hours, only 30 mins longer than the train.

BTW - if you can get down this weekend there's a new Urban Art Show opening:

Hi everyone. Thanks for the pointers, I have noted them all down and will try see them all on my little day trip. Never been to Bristol before so your comments have helped immensely.
I found the Zeemaps website useful but it didn't have half the ones you have told me about.

Rich00> Well I actually worked doing new media in construction/housing which obviously is screwed so i'm going into graphic & web design specifically for a creative design agency which cater for large financial institutions. Bit of out of the fire, into the frying pan!!! As I say at least they're getting bailed out. Construction industry wont recover fully until 2010. It's taken a year for things to go down, so it will take at least a year for things to recover.

LOL.. its about 3/4 of the way up ON THE LEFT HAND side !!!
next to a church building

never cold tell my right from my left ;D. SPQR's correct.

Think the Gorilla's at least badly tagged, if not gone altogether. A flickr search may throw some light on it.

As for shows, not really, no. 12 Days has closed, Guerilla Galleries is closed whilst it relocates, the friend and co gallery has a new What Collective show opening a week today, but is tiny (if cool). If you're into art generally (as opposed to street/graf/urban/whatever), there are always galleries open round the christmas steps/park row area, but otherwise it's all a bit quiet really.

If you hang around til the Tuesday there's live painting and all that antics down at Weapon of Choice at Mr Wolf's that night, but otherwise, not much on at the mo!

[jamesrhys]

Banksy gorilla is still definitely there...

Quality image

[ryskip]

It's still there but there's a few other bits next to it now including Dog the bounty hunter.

[gerry]

Note to self, search flickr before posting then! Had heard it had been dogged to f**k. Has been tagged though, but is surviving. Not a fan of it myself really, he used to do better.

[bmjt]

Any more info on next week's What collective show gerry?

[gerry]

Not beyond the blog at the mo, the What guys are all about the flickr though, so that's where the sneaky views will be first i guess. Should be cool though, top bunch of people, top work, and hopefully mulled cider. May even get my ass down there for a friend and co opening this time too!

[br1stol]

be prepared for a squash...
Its all elbows and treading on toes in there!

[deckstar]

do you know where its being held? I got my first rich t piece and would love to get another

[jellya]

The wonderful and small friend & co gallery on Glos Road.

[jellya]

Was going to stick this in the £50 thread but as I'm here. Available from the aforementioned friend & co

cheers everyone. does anyone know excatly where the masked gorilla is on fishponds road? it seems to be a really long road. I have looked on flickr and other websites and can't seem to find any further info. cheers. (also bus info would be helpful :-) )

It's on the wall of north bristol social club, so if you're round there you may as well go and check out the Cato Street Banksy stuff whilst you're at it, here's a tiny url to a google map with them both marked on - tinyurl.com/a8rna2 (the gorilla is point A)

Buses, dunno, but train from temple meads to Stapleton Road brings to right by Cato Street, then a short walk up to Fishponds Road.

[ryskip]

Think bus 48/49 takes you down Stapleton/fishponds road.

[bmjt]

Hey Fragile, where did you get them from? I'm only a stones throw away from broadmead/the centre. As you say, grey and indeed rainy here, pah.

[gerry]

Awesome, glad it all worked out for you. Weapon of Choice 1st Birthday down Mr Wolf's tonight if you're still around!

[gerry]

Oh bugger, that was last night wasn't it. Hum. Oh well, hope it was good!

[neale]

I'm in Bristol this thursday to collect a print, gonna take in the Crimes of Passion show for sure, but can anyone recommend any other gallery shows worth a look? also wondered if there are any Banksy's still on any walls anywhere.

[Steal From Work]

Are you just there on Thursday? If not then we have C215 et al show Justice launching at the Long Arm Gallery.

Jono

[romanywg]

I'm looking forward to this. I'm coming down early on Thursday to film and photograph it Jono. From what I've seen it looks amazing!

Exhibition wise, David Shillinglaw has an exhibition at the Here gallery which is worth a look -
