This week I am sharing a selection of pictures from Upfest 2016. Over the two days, Mr BMB and I took about 1300 photos, ate two huge burgers and a couple of very (very) nice bacon rolls, drank plenty of water (and diet coke, cider and real ale) – oh – and got slightly sunburnt!
Some of the artwork at Upfest has a political or social message, this was one of my favourite pieces from the Green (where we also bought our Bacon Rolls!)
This is probably my favorite piece of the Festival, it was in the Spotted Cow Garden and I love the effect of the silver blanket, also has a power message.
These are not photos, they are spray stencils. But they are such good quality that I recognise some of them from the streets of Bristol. This was also in the Spotted Cow Garden.
This one is not quite finished but it is making a point about the difference in the classes. This was a fascinating piece to see developing, it was a mixture of sketch, stencils and free hand paint. I hope to see it when it’s finally finished!
Thanks for Reading
