Victoriano Petrie Glazers Bristol

Victoriano – Petrie Glazers, North Street – 







Called “Free the Galgo” this piece is an incredible ten paintings in one on the same wall. Featuring a Spanish greyhound the piece is meant to be seen through augmented reality via the Artvive augmented reality app. Then, it all starts to make sense and the mural comes alive and you can see the greyhound run. Galgo by the way is Spanish for greyhound.

Silent Hobo upfest street art Bristol

Well now we are getting in to the final 10 pieces from Upfest’s 75 walls in 75 days event and I am getting a little edgy, because my ‘collector’ gene will be working overtime to ensure I get every single one, and that might be difficult.

I don’t normally associate Silent Hobo with Upfest events, so it was really nice to see that he has participated in this most unusual of years with this enormous mural in Ruby Street.

Of course, with so many murals in residential streets for this year’s event, parked cars have been a real problem. I think I might suggest to artists that next year they start their pieces four feet above the ground, or that they paint cars in the lower portion so we don’t actually miss anything (now there’s a creative concept).

As with all of Silent Hobo’s excellent observational work, he captures the mood of ordinary people, especially youngsters so well. One could do a celebration of Bristol, just by showcasing all of his pieces. It would seem that he is very proud of the city and its citizens and his murals are a wonderful record of the city in the 2000s.

Another thing that Silent Hobo portrays beautifully is pets and wild animals. Here he rewards the viewer with a fabulous cameo of a little boy and his dog in a red armchair, a delightful scene. Yet another outstanding wall from Silent Hobo and for Upfest.

Sledone snakes and daggers Bristol


I had kind of given up on the final three Upfest 75 walls in 75 days pieces, especially as the 75 days was up some time ago, but hope and excitement were restored when Sled One painted this beautiful piece for the event a couple of weeks ago.

Above the General Store in North Street, the intricate mural features a snakes and ladders theme, with a medieval twist hinted at by the hand-held daggers and ornate sleeves. I did not notice the Advance Pest Control van in the photograph until posting this piece, but I think it adds a little something to the scene.

As we would expect from Sled One, the mural is executed with class and precision and is a fine contribution to Upfest’s summer event. So now there are only two pieces left for me to find. One, I know where it is, the other is a mystery.

Kid Crayon Street art Bristol

Here’s a longer, more descriptive piece about Kid Crayon’s mural on Greville Street:


Kid Crayon’s Mural – Greville Street, Bristol

On Greville Street in Bristol, local street artist Kid Crayon has painted a captivating mural that blends expressive graffiti lettering with a striking character illustration, creating a piece that feels both playful and thoughtfully composed. The artist’s name — **“Crayon” — appears boldly rendered in vibrant shades of blue and pink, the colours popping against the urban backdrop and drawing immediate attention to his distinctive tag. 

Adjacent to the lettering stands a stylised figure of a woman, her gaze directed outward as if engaging with passers‑by or contemplating something beyond the wall itself. In a surreal visual twist typical of Kid Crayon’s whimsical approach, the woman appears to have a crayon extending from her mouth — a motif that blurs the line between the character and the tools of creation itself, suggesting that art and expression are inseparable from the figure she inhabits. 

This mural reflects Kid Crayon’s broader practice, which draws deeply on hip‑hop, skate culture, bold 1990s influences and his own background in illustration and spray paint art. His work often combines character design with graffiti elements, merging figurative imagery with the dynamism and rhythm of classic lettering styles. 

Set against the textured walls of Greville Street, the artwork brings colour, humour and a sense of narrative to a busy urban corner, inviting viewers to pause, smile, and perhaps even consider the creative impulse itself — all while contributing to Bristol’s lively street art tapestry. 


If you’d like, I can also tailor this description for a gallery list, Instagram caption, or art guide format!

Gretl Upfest Bristol street art

Gretl – The Malago, North Street / Greville Street – 





Returning to Upfest is French artist Gretl. Her work mixes elements of nature together and will and will often mix imagery from bird, animal and plant life. Interweaving them all in a symbolic representation of the interconnectedness of nature

Bristol cycling based street art


#bristolgraff  #bristolgraffiti #streetartbristol #bristolstreetart #Upfest

David J McMillan – Lime Street – 

Known for his cycling based street art, David J McMillan’s colourful mural is a homage to that. “I just really love cycling and really fell in love with it when I moved to Bristol 12 years ago” he told Inspiring City. “I guess it’s a little partly inspired by my partner’s bike roads around the city, especially in the last couple of years”.

 Ipheno – George Carr Fence, North Street – 






Ipheno’s unique style is created by weaving fabric onto a metallic fence. A technique that she has developed, her portraits are inspired through expressions and feelings. Her muse in Bristol is a local woman from Cyprus. No one particularly famous but someone whose facial expression and hair braid was enough to inspire.
