Kid Zoom, Vermin and Remo On Stokes Croft

So ta to Vermin for the pic, It’s by Kid Zoom from Australia, Vermin from round these parts ish, and [...]

Hillgrove Street Boards Black Again

After them getting repainted again a couple of weeks ago with a more political message than normal, it seems the Hillgrove Street boards have been repainted black again. Not got a photo, but you all know what they look like when black by now.
Seems it might have been at the owner’s request though, apparently he [...]

Friend And Co Show Photos

So then, as promised yesterday, here’s some photos of what’s in the Friend and Co show in their new gallery, opening as this post goes live.

Painting Down The Bearpit – The Results

Blogged it happening before, but didn’t get a chance to go back and get photos of the finished thing for a while. Nice big mural down in the Bearpit (St James Barton Roundabout for those abroad), proving that there might yet be hope for brightening up one of the most run down parts of the [...]

More Acer Suspension Bridges For Grabs

A quick heads up for you on this one. Following the Triple Drop show, Acer apparently had loads of inquiries about his mini Clifton Suspension Bridge canvas/print/hand finished jobbies.
