Sneak preview - Guerilla Galleries new show!

The new show at Guerilla Galleries opens tomorrow night (28th), but this blog, somewhat pleasingly, has been given a sneak preview of what’s going to be there on the opening to share with you all.
It’s all being put up at the moment, and the place is closed until the show opening, so excuse the way [...]

Wanna be on telly?

Well, sort of telly. Stuff with cameras anyway. Possibly to be available on the interwebs i should think.
Some uni students have been in touch who are doing a piece along the lines of ‘Has the Bristol graf scene changed since Banksy?’ which i think’s quite an interesting topic. Not one i’d really thought of before, [...]

Sydenham Lane

So having done Sydenham Road yesterday, here’s Sydenham Lane, a little lane running off and parallel to it. Sweet little lane in and of itself, with some cute pieces on it.
Recognise the style but no name to it other than ‘fd’. Works well with the overhanding tree though, adds to the furtiveness.

Interesting piece, reminds me [...]

Sydenham Road, Bristol

Here’s Sydenham Road which runs off the lower end of Ninetree Hill / Stokes Croft, a road with some good stuff on it, some of it seemingly an extension of the PRSC work, other bits much older.
This is a really well known piece down at the Stokes Croft end, and could sort of be considered [...]

Interesting Banksy exhibition

Had spotted before that the Andipa Gallery has been busily buying all the Banksys they can get their hands on over the last few years, especially at auctions, and offering them for resale at a frightening markup.
Pleasingly though, it means there’s going to be a show in London starting in a few days time where [...]

Sums, paws and puns

Sure there must be a good local journo style punning title for this post given the subject matter, but can’t think of one right now.
Anyway, the good Mr Sums has just sent me some snaps of a large paw piece he’s done recently. At least i thought it was recent, but having just been [...]

Cryptic Christmas Steps

Saw this odd message sprayed on the steps towards the top of the Christmas Steps the other day, don’t remember spotting it before, but then I’m not often down that way anyway.
It says, i think, ‘J911OB GET IT?’.

I didn’t get it when i first saw it, but whilst writing this blog i just have, and [...]

New bits on Stokes Croft

Remember a week or two ago, some of the work down on Stokes Croft was ineptly painted over, possibly by the council, possibly not. Well, in double quick time, some new work has gone up to replace it, and it’s not bad at all.
A nice big Rowdy crocodile threatens to eat the, erm, ’sauna’.

Whilst on [...]

A new show

Just had word there’s another show coming up at Guerilla Galleries on the Gloucester Road later this month, imaginatively titled ‘The New Show’. In the spirit of traditional lazy journalism, mixed with honesty, i’ll just leave it to their media release to tell you about it.
Guerrilla Galleries’ latest show opens its doors on Thursday 28th [...]
