More Graffiti Art from Bristol St Pauls

As mentioned in a previous blog post, last week was the first time since the Coronavirus pandemic started that we went to Bristol.

Here are some more pictures from last week; and unlike this weekend it was raining. 
Before we get onto the graffiti art, its also always interesting to see the sticker messages.
This image speaks to me today.  It is scorching.  In fact it peaked at 85f today!  
A day for a outdoor vegetarian or veggie barbeque. 


I grew up watching Bruce Lee movies, courtesy of my Dad. 
I also recently read a piece by Bruce Lee's dauughter Shannon responding to Quentin Tarantino's . and his depiction of her father in the 2019 film Once Upon A Time in Hollywood.
This is Anthonell Peggoo, a Black Bristolian who came to the UK when he was six years old being threatened with deportation.

    i do normally love street art but these are very confronting aren't they? I think i like my art less political but i guess there's a time and a place for it...

    Great street art - Captain Jamaica gave me a big smile. I like your laid back bbq woman and lots of interesting faces but that baby is disturbing.

      Thank you Johanna - yes, i found that one warming. I saw a poster a few years back, took a picture of it and never shared on the blog - not sure why - but the artwork was fab to see. Re the disturbing baby - its actually an album cover. I cannot remember the artist, will have to find out and let you know, when i remember

    They're so great. I don't know why we ever have a blank wall when there are so many artists amongst us

      Belinda, absolutely - but not everyone appreciates this kind of 'art' therein is the problem, thanks though to those of us who do x
