I'm in Bristol this coming weekend for a stag do, I'm looking forward to seeing some banging street art.

I must say that Bristol is like no other place when it comes to incredible street art, the place is littered with amazing pieces, Walker, Harrington, Stik, Jago, Arytz.....the list just go's on and on and I only really saw a very small area. I need to go back for a weekend, just me and a camera. It's hard taking pictures on a phone when your drunken mates are ribbing you. Fantastic city though, highly recommended.

Hoax and Akarait


Mac1 and CageOne


Nick Walker


And something from the archives.  I know Nick Walker gets a fair amount of flack on here and I don't own any of his work but I think you've gotta give credit where credit's due.  I can't think of many other writers who have been painting continuously since the the early '80s and who still paint as many illegal pieces as they do legal pieces.  This piece collaboration with Xenz, Eelus and SheOne was painted back in 2008 literally a stones throw (if that's not an unfortunate turn of phrase) from what was previously the Black and White Cafe.

Great stuff as always your right about NW one of the great street painters in my view do not always like his print but as you say he keeps painting. Respect to him

[Feral Things]

Thanks, johnnyh; always appreciated.

A few people have PMed to ask where to head in Bristol to check out the graffiti, so thought it'd be helpful to knock together a map for anyone thinking of heading through this way and it's online here.  The main orange route should take about two hours (depending on how long you're ogling the graffiti) and I've marked some of the artists you'd pass on route.  There's also a blue loop through the neighbourhood of St Werburghs for those who have a bit more time and all the Banksy pieces are marked in red.  There's also a few galleries and places to stop for a drink marked in green.

For me, one of the best things about checking out graffiti is getting into an abandoned warehouse or a quiet back alley and finding an unexpected gem but I know this isn't very practical for someone just coming through for the day, so I hope this is helpful.  Obviously it only covers a very little bit of the graffiti around town and people might want to check out North Street and Dame Emily Alice Park which are south of the river, but hopefully this is a start.

Enjoy!

Big thanks to feralthings for not only the great photos but a top bloke as well. Many, many thanks for the Jefrow bricks!

[Feral Things]

My pleasure, hunter.  

ROA - This piece isn't new but I'm posting it up for shaunq.  Sorry, mate; I hadn't realised that the little building which contains this third ROA piece has been entirely consumed by a giant buddleia, so you can't see the building even if you're standing right by it.


SPzero76


Chu




Soap and Sikoh


Vane and Mod1




Bock and 45RPM


Khoi


Boswell


And something from the archives.  None of these pieces are actually in Bristol, but instead they're from abandoned places around the West Country and they're some of my favourite spots.  If anyone likes their art in more out of the way places then I would recommend 'Out of Sight' by romanywg.  There's some beautiful photos of work by, amongst others, Aryz, Sea and Boswell and here's another piece by Boswell in an equally discreet spot. All the doors and windows to this place have since been bricked up which will probably inadvertently preserve all the amazing pieces inside by the past and present members of the Souls on Fire crew like a time capsule:

[Feral Things]

Inkie


Epok


SPZero76, Loch Ness, Dom W, Paul Monsters and Bill Giles


45RPM


Midas, Khoi and Dusk


And something from the archives.  The Midas and Khoi pieces above are all in a derelict warehouse where one half is relatively structurally sound and the other half is a death-trap, as illustrated by my photo below from 2011 which shows the remains of the second floor lying on what's left of the first floor.  Unfortunately, the place is a bit of a maze and I was so busy checking out all the graffiti on the third floor this morning that it wasn't until I looked out the window that I realised exactly which half of the warehouse I was standing in. Suffice to say, the warehouse hasn't got anymore structurally sound in the last two years and I didn't hang around to see just how long it'll take for the third floor to collapse too.

[Coach]

That is one smashing Inkie.
Thanks again for the pics my friend.

[hunter]

You deserve danger money feral! Great photos.

Hey. No worries Feralthings!  I was quite "consumed by the Bud" myself the day I went there   but I found that 3rd Roa piece eventually!!! Chuff knows how but then again I was actually climbing into some buildings through the shrubbery sometimes without realising there was an open sodding doorway the other side?? I was on a bit of a mission that day though

Sez and Shab


And something from the archives.  One of the things I love about Bristol graffiti is just how collaborative a lot of the works is and that was never more true than with the Souls on Fire crew who originally consisted of Vermin, Rowdy and Boswell and later consisted of Boswell, Sez and Pen (who painted the amazing piece below).  Souls on Fire have since morphed into the Unwellcome Relatives crew and have been joined by Andy Council, CageOne and Shab (two of which painted the piece above) but the flow between different writers is still as tight as ever.

DAN


And something from the archives.  DAN produced some fantastic street pieces about social issues as diverse as street drinking and inappropriate development but I haven't seen anything new by him for several years until the gem above popped up during the week.  The piece below is a modern take on Alice In Wonderland from 2008; unfortunately, my photo doesn't capture the context very well but there's a better photo on the Wooster Collective website.

ASK and The Krah


And something from the archives.  As everyone's getting excited about something new by Banksy, I thought I'd dig out something old by him.  This was on the end of a terrace of houses until someone built another house on the end of the terrace a few years ago.  I've no idea whether it's still preserved within the new house or if it disappeared during the building works.
