In our recent travels to Europe we visited the UK for the very first time. First up was to Bristol to visit my sister and her husband. Now my wife and I are very big fans of 'street art' .... murals, not literary graffiti as in painted scrawls defacing buildings.
I digress but some of my previous street art blogs can be found here and here
So we were well aware that Banksy (blog to follow on this famous street artist) was from Bristol in the early 90's. So one fine day we set off to Bristol to locate some of his works.
Spoiler alert
This post is not about Banksy but just some of the other street art we encountered.
Artist FOGUE
I really liked this particular mural but unfortunately I could not find an artist to credit
While taking the above photograph drug deals were blatantly taking place next to us .... not the most savory part of Bristol to be fair.
Fantastic job I reckon but noone tagged the mural to claim the credit
Just one more and then I shall turn my attention to Banksy .....
If you have a close look at the bottom right hand corner of the second mural you will see Panda lurking their sheltered from the incoming wave by the street name sign
While we were in Europe we visited four countries and garnered many street art photographs and I look forward to sharing them with you.
Thanks for stopping by and thanks for the continued support.
