The Upper End Of Trenchard Street

We’ve been here before a while back, but a bit of an update of some newer stuff on that skanky bit where Trenchard Street joins Colston Street.
Another in the series of those pens, the quick dub over it changes the message and kinda makes it better in a way…

Next to it, this paste up. No [...]

Inkie Update

Had hoped to bring you a round up of the Bristol related stuff at the Cans Festival by now, but still waiting for a couple more snaps for the set. Early next week seems a better option.
But anyway, as a very happy side effect of that, here are some shots of what Inkie’s been up [...]

Banksy On Brandon Hill?

Suspect this one is a fake, it’s an odd location, where you’d spray if you were sitting on the bench, and the ‘Y’s quite shoddily done (the ’s’ looks a bit sharply cut for that matter). He’s not done this straight up stencil tagging stuff for yonks now either.

But it is quite worn, and has [...]

Before Chrome On The BBC News…

Graf At Shambala Festival

Thanks loads to Midas for sending these in, some photos of some of the painting that went on at the Shambala Festival last week.
Few different things going on on site by the sounds of things. Biggest one for this blog was a bunch of Bristol related folks getting together to build and paint a massive [...]

Fanzine Reviews – Font Freak And Issue 2

Meant to do this a while back, but only just got round to it…
Anyway, there are two graf related fanzines around at the moment. Well, there are loads more obviously, but there are two around in this blog post anyway, ‘Font Freak’ by Bristol’s own 45RPM, and ‘Issue 2′ from Pirate Press.
You should buy them [...]

College Lane In The Centre

One of those lanes you’d think there would be more on, this one. Tucked away down the side of and behind St Mark’s Chapel on College Green (the only church in England owned by a local authority, fact pickers!), there’s never been much there if memory serves, and isn’t a huge amount at the moment
In [...]

Not So Supermarket, Not So Super…

Apologies to those who headed down to Start The Bus on Sunday for the ‘live graffiti’ that was meant to be taking place there, as it didn’t. Apparently the organisers couldn’t afford it in the end, but should definitely be having some going on at an event in October.
Really annoys when stuff like this happens, [...]

PRSC Reaches Its Boundary?

This piece was carefully put up down at the Stokes Croft end of The Bearpit last week, and no sooner had it gone up than it was removed by the council’s ‘Clean and Green’ team.

It may not have been a fully authorised piece, and a policy is a policy, but it seems a real shame [...]

Project 360 Painting Update

Taken a short while to hear back from anyone, but finally got details on who’s going to be painting at the Project 360 event coming up next weekend (30th and 31st August).
Seems the Council’s actually got something good together on this one, cos the people painting on the day will be FLX, Feek, Mr Jago, [...]
