Have a bath, get a job…

Saw these today, halfway up Cranbrook Road. Well, saw loads of them actually, round by the Arches then all the way up Cranbrook Road at regular intervals. Annoys me in a way, not for its tin foil hatted conspiraloonacy, but for the fact that it’s been put up all round an area where there isn’t [...]

Johnny Ball Lane

The wonderfully named Johnny Ball Lane (not, I don’t think, named after the great mathematician) has always been a great spot for finding graf. You wouldn’t know it was there if you didn’t look for it, and I’ve even heard a rumour that, contrary to the info in Steve Wright’s ‘Banksy’s Bristol’ book, it was [...]

The Christmas Steps, Bristol.

The Christmas Steps go back ages, and have been the scene of loads of Bristol’s history, including a pitched battle during the Civil War apparently. Scarily narrow and steep little lane for such things I’d have though. Nowadays the only battles going on round here are between graf artisits, which is probably better.
Not the first [...]

Bristol bus station

Found this round the back of the new Bristol bus station the other day, as odd as it is rude…

The Cube Cinema

The Cube’s a brilliant place, rising from the ashes of a fire a few years ago to become Bristol’s best venue for quirky and odd events. So it’s kind of appropriate really that on the back of the building, on Princess Row, there’s a large piece by the WSSK (Wet Sshame Kingdom) consisting of Paris, [...]

York Street, St Werburghs

Had someone arriving at the blog searching for “house graffiti bristol st werburghs” and reckon this is the one they may have been looking for. It an absolutely massive piece from Paris and Xenz, and is properly awesome. Good location for it too, York Street’s a bit of a cut through down to the M32 [...]

Picton Street and Picton Mews

Covered the end of Picton Street here before, but recently had an expore of the whole street. Odd really, it seems like a great street for graf, just ‘feels right’ in a way, but there’s very little on it now, and i have few memories of there being much on it before either.
Starting from the [...]

A Christmas ramble

Had a day off yesterday, but wouldn’t you know it, when you’re not looking for graf, the graf comes looking for you.
Took an after dinner walk to prevent falling asleep, and ran into this van, expertly painted by Paris, Xenz and Milk. Had seen photos of it before online before (which of course i can’t [...]

Happy Christmas!

Corner wall by Bath Buildings

It looks pretty innocous these days doesn’t it, but this wall has long been the scene of loads of different graf, some really well done.

Back in the day though, the wall looked more like this

Have a good look at it, see who you can spot on there. I spotted…
A Ghostboy ‘English Heretic’ blue plaque from [...]
