Another Piece Of The Jigsaw In Clifton

These were around last summer, and presume this one’s from around the same time. Odd, all over Clifton, stencils of jigsaw pieces. Usually solitary things, there’s two of them in this one, or rather one that’s a piece falling out of the wall, on the side of a house in Tottenham Place, Clifton.

Not a scooby [...]

Round The End of Bath Buildings

Just a few little bits round the garage that’s still there at the Cheltenham Road end of Bath Buildings for you.
There’s a few of these round that area at the moment, not sure how old they are, but not that old it doesn’t seem. ‘Make hay while the sun shines’, appropriate enough at the moment, [...]

Had this in from a reader, if anyone fancies a spot of painting by the seaside as the weather gets more sunny?
There is a new Skatepark just been opened in Barnstaple North Devon which offers a plethora of fresh smooth grey surfaces on which no fair hand has taken his skills as yet.. and to [...]

Big Green Wasps

Got sent this a while back, think more work’s been done on it now, but given the props given to the Lib Dem Mark Wright the other day for digging into the issue of graf and the council, here’s something for a bit of political balance, what with elections coming up and all.

The Blog Paints A Merc – The Finale

Well, not the blog painting a car obviously, that would be absurd, for so many reasons. But a guy got in touch a good while back looking for people to paint his car inna Bristol style, and first to step up to it were 3rd Eye and Dan.
Still left the front to do though, so [...]

Cheo And 3Dom Stokes Croft Saga Update

Got forwarded an email earlier, a chain of conversation from between Cllr Mark Wright and a council officer about the legalities of getting graf done on your own private property. The conversation wasn’t about the Stokes Croft issue, but was about another building in a conservation area across the city.
However, there’s relevance for this PRSC [...]

What’s Next Then?

Part of the reason this blog was set up was to show people there’s more to Bristol graf than Banksy, so, whilst today doubtless brings more rumour and speculation on his upcoming show, what else is coming up?
Well, first up, Rowdy’s got a solo show opening on the 4th June (with private view night 3rd [...]

I’d Like To Be An MP

Thanks to St8ment for sending this one in, “I’d like to be an MP” paste up down on North Street, Bedminster.

Bit of a closer upper…

…could it be a campaigning councillor getting carried away in the last couple of weeks before the elections?

Banksy bristol show- confirmed!

So then, having said this blog’s not going to deal in rumours over the possibility of there being a Banksy show in Bristol, turns out there’s no need.
Just had it 100 percent confirmed by a cast iron source, Banksy will be opening a show in Bristol in June.
Should be interesting!
UPDATE: Various news sources are picking [...]
