I don't see that as graffiti tbh. It's commisioned art, or am I missing something?

A few of them are for a display and they get renewed every once in awhile. There are tonnes like the latter photo in stokes croft which (afaik) aren't commissioned.

Yeah, most of the stuff in bristol is proper stuff, but most of those in the OP were/are display items.
So they look good, but shouldn't be classed as the same thing imo lol

Strokes Croft, eh. Scary. I had a gf who used to live there many years ago. I remember hearing stories about The Full Moon/Ecipse. They still there?

Yeah, Full Moon has been done up into some sort of pine wood wine bar and The Eclipse is a youth hostel now.

Pity as the Full Moon was one of the first places I played with a band.

It's quite a cool area, although I would never live right near the strip. The surrounding areas of St. Andrews and Cotham are both pretty pleasant!

Stokes Croft these days is strictly for yoghurt weaving, poi crusaders.

Of course. Of course it has.

Gastropubs. The sole reason for the UK's economic meltdown.

I've been going t'same pub fer twenty year,
It were half a crown then fer buy me beer,
But they closed it down fer redecorate,
They said we'll knock a wall down,
Change bar round,
Paint door brown,
It's going to look great.

When I walked into it I couldn't believe me eyes,
Every **** had a shirt and tie,
Mirrored walls and daft plastic trees,
It were a fun pub disco,
Wine bar bistro,
Gay club **** house,
Cocktail carvary.

Oh what the **** **** **** have they done to me pub
What the **** **** **** have they done to me pub
What the **** **** **** have they done to me pub
Now it's a fun pub disco,
Wine bar bistro,
Gay club **** house,
Cocktail carvary.
