Completed this street art mural in Bridgwater, Devon, in just 6 hours! It was an absolute mission to get this one on the wall. After being rained off twice, the third attempt finally brought success, and I managed to finish literally one minute before the heavens opened again! Talk about cutting it close.
Titled “You’re re Not Alone,” this mural was created for the amazing Mingle Cafe in the heart of Bridgwater. The goal was to use public art to spread a message of inclusiveness, hope, and support to people in the community who may be struggling or feeling isolated. Street art can be more than just colour on a wall, it can be a voice for those who need to know they’re not alone.
Massive thank you to Eva from Mingle for looking after me all day, Seed Sedgemoor for sponsoring this community event and supporting local art, and Hannah Redden for being the face and spirit of the mural , your strength and openness inspired every layer of paint. And of course, huge thanks to my mum for coming to the rescue (again!) when the skies opened right as I packed up. 😂
The mural may have taken only six hours to paint, but it carries a message meant to last a long time . a reminder to everyone in Bridgwater that someone cares. These are the best photos I could grab at the time, but I’ll definitely revisit soon and get some proper shots.
Here’s to more community-driven art, connection, and colour on the walls of Bridgwater!
A Bristol artist, pop artist, street artist, and video maker who loves smashing together worlds to create something bold, nostalgic, rebellious and empowering. My work takes the fun of pop culture, stirs it up with fine art techniques, with winks to our pop culture world to produce pieces that make you smile, think, or both.
Using spray paint, acrylic, ink, and stencils, I create art that jumps between walls, canvases, galleries, and the internet, because art belongs everywhere. Whether it’s a satirical mashup of icons or a bold burst of powerful feminism, my pieces are all about celebrating the chaos and creativity of contemporary culture.
Working from my Bristol studio, Splintered Studios, my work has been shipped worldwide to hundreds of collectors.
An accomplished artist with a dynamic career, I have painted live at numerous prestigious street art festivals across the country, including Upfest, Cheltenham, and Swindon, leaving my mark with murals nationwide. My work has earned accolades such as winning the Paintworks Paint Jam in Bristol, while my Banana Manifesto artwork was featured in the Broadway show Mojo Mickeybo and Star Wars’s Vanessa Marshall streams and promotional merchandise.
My videos have been showcased on platforms like SKY TV’s Ops TV, Adam and Joe, 30 Seconds to Mars, GameSpot UK, and Jackass, with over 2 million views on YouTube. My videos and artwork shared by many luminaries like Robert Downey Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Nathan Fillion.
I’ve exhibited alongside renowned artists like Banksy, Damien Hirst and Findac, and organised significant events, including the South Bristol Art Trail and multiple paint jams in Bristol. A two-time finalist for the Stencil Art Prize, I’ve also contributed to impactful projects like the Background Bob initiative and Brandalism’s COP21 climate talks.
