Painted as part of huge production at the new museum of Bristol to mark the launch of the book Children Of The Can - 25 years of Bristol Graffiti. I was asked to start the timeline with a cave painting inspired piece. The stick cave painting figures are having second thoughts about attacking the huge Painty Mammoth with their paint brush spears!

Was quite a fun piece to do as I have been wanting to evolve from Dinosaurs to giant prehistoric mammals for a while.

Wasn't sure what colours would be available, so turned out very bright. Think if to do it again would go for lots of shdes of red and orange and more spray outlines than brush. It was very cold so didn't want to experiment too much!

Very big thankyou to Felix for inviting me to paint and shout outs to all the Bristol and West Country Writers/Artists who took part in this epic jam.

I've passed that graffiti wall many a time, so it's a surprise to find the creator of it on here! This is one of my favourites but it took looking on here to really see what's going on with the paintbrushes! I feel the bright colours do give it its own character and help bring it out/eye catching amongst the selection of graffitis.:)

Would you happen to know who created the black and white, quite charcoal-looking piece with the strange creatures on, at all?

Hello there, nice to meet some south west UK residents here and good to hear you see this piece down the docks from time to time. Good to hear you like my crazy colour choices!

I think the piece you mean is by Boswell (Warp) and Pen of SOF. Here's a link....

Me too! I think that it's so sad that they just froze over and the last several ones they've found where frozen over babies that had been separated from their mums :(
