bars of London and into Bristol

"left">1.  Favorite Location to See Street Art

It’s
all about, but there’s a good concentration of it at Bedminster Skate
Park off Dean Lane - That’s been the spot for a long time now.

/>2.  Favorite Art Gallery

That’ll be the href="http://www.picturevisions.com/home.cfm">Hotwell Gallery on Hotwells
Road. They’re into showcasing the edgier stuff none of the other galleries want
to touch.

3.  Favorite Place to Buy Paint and
Supplies

Millards on Gloucester Road, Damn this place is
great. They’re a proper old school car maintenance shop that stock Hycote. You
got these three guys in blue overalls all stood behind this long counter. Also
it’s cheapest place to buy your paint if you nut fussy about what you paint
with. Suit you sir!

4.  Favorite Local Magazine
/>
Venue Magazine pretty much tells
you what’s going on in town and are on it when it comes to the graffiti scene
and what artists have been up to here.

5.  Favorite Place to
Drink

Il Bordello
on the Welshback is a good place to go drink. It’s on a boat, an old Dutch barge
to be exact formerly owned by the Hell’s Angels but has now been revamped into a
lovely seedy drinking parlor - low lights good art and music ta boot! Check out
the front door! Check out all the doors!

6.  Favorite Place
to Eat

If I’m on the move I go to Ciao Burger on Gloucester
Road. Get the Veggie Blue Cheese it rocks and all served up by some ones old Dad
rattling about to hard core drum & bass every time you go in there. If you want
a good old sit down - the River Bar on the water front off the city centre does
a fuckin’ great Bangers & Mash and also serves up Leff beer.

Cheers
All

Nick
