I would say that over the last two years or so, the intake of 'new' artists in Bristol has far outweighed any losses, and we have a 'net gain' of talent.

Grimes, Frome Side, Bristol, April 2024

This piece underneath the M32 is typical of his work, full of letters and symbols, beautifully crafted and filled. I have loads of his pieces in my folders and will try to dig them out, as he has added something a little special to the Bristol mix.
