Banksy On Whiteladies Road

This one was a combo of bits really, a few of them around at the time, this one combined with a Banksy stencil, another one down on Ashley Road with the monkey giving the v sign to a stencil of the Houses of Parliament. It’s the same image as the one in Bristol Museum before [...]

Green Banksy In St Nicholas Market

Unsurprisingly, Google Street View cars don’t seem to have been able to make it down the side alley of St Nick’s Market, but this was down the right hand alley as you look at the market hall from Corn Street. Kind of just up from where that Taste place is now, down this alley here.

Banksy On St Michael’s Hill

This one was there for a while back in the day, opposite Somerfield, along with a load of other ones on St Michael’s Hill generally.
Think it was above the street name sign there.

Banksy On Meridian Place

Not very well known image this one, but a street version of a hand sprayed record cover Banksy did for Blowpop Records, a Capoeira Twins 12″. The back story on it is over on the Banksy Forum. There certainly weren’t many of these on the street, only saw one other down next to where the [...]

Go On Then…

For yonks now, the blog’s meant to have featured a whole load of Banksy photos from back in the day. Bits have drifted in there and there, but there’s always been so much else going on that the main set have got bumped.
Always meant to blog them with ‘then and now’ shots of how the [...]

Auntie Beeb’s picked up the story here, with a clarification from Cllr Gary Hopkins on what the council policy is going to be. Sounds promising!

Pimping Someone’s Graf – Your Thoughts

For those of you not wanting to get into another debate on the council buffing pieces, there’s an interesting discussion over here on Flickr at the moment about commercial companies using people’s work on walls for photoshoots.
In essence, what looks like an ad agency was down Dean Lane the other day, doing a photoshoot in [...]

Battle Of The Boards – The Saga Continues

Remember these boards? Painted by Cheo and 3Dom, then painted out by the council without the owner’s permission, for which the chief exec apologised.
Well, they’ve been pretty much unpainted for a bit, but at the weekend Sepr went back to paint them, starting on Saturday, but not being able to go back and finish them [...]

RWA And Turoe Panoramas

Seems like ages ago now, but thanks to Jon Davey for sending in a link to an interactive panoramic shot he did of the RWA show, really brings the thing to life somehow in a way standard photos don’t.

There’s a good one of Turoe painting down at Dean Lane as well if you fancy it. [...]
