Greetings from Bristol. As guest editor for a week I wanted to feature
my home city as well as keeping it world wide. Contrary to popular belief not
all Bristolians are farmers or pirates but we have been known to drink the odd
pint of cider.

Bristol, in the south west of England, is famous for
its harbourside, its music and for honourable mention in “Spraycan Art” for its
graffiti. 3D was featured in the book back in ‘87 and later moved into music
with Massive Attack. Throughout the eighties, graffiti in Bristol boomed, with
names such as Nick Walker and Inkie also gaining popular recognition.

/>The British transport police eventually cracked down on the scene but recently
it has grown again with new home-grown talent and with artists also moving to
the city.

Regular Wooster watchers will know some Bristol artists
such as Sickboy, Cheba and Mudwig but there are more to get to know… Paris,
Eko, Ponk, Dicy, Mr Jago, Feek, China Mike, Rowdy, Sums to name a few. Roll the
pictures…
