This is a wonderful collaboration from two brilliant artists, Elvs and Rusk. I'm not sure I have seen these two painting together since Upfest 22, so this came as a very nice surprise indeed. Elvs has had quite a quiet year painting in Bristol and I would like to think (hope) that this piece signals a few more visits for 2024. Elvs' writing is so incredibly unique and recognisable - I don't think that I know of anyone that writes large block letters etched out with thin black lines in this way. Fine writing.

I would say that Rusk is better known for his writing or writing/character combination pieces, so this ghetto blaster hip-hop character is something of a rarity. The old-school style character has all the hallmarks of street art/hip hop culture and Rusk carries it off brilliantly. A rather nice silhouette of an urban skyline polished the collaboration off nicely. Great collaboration.
