SAT has left Italy (we
will miss its mycologists, entomologists and tomatoes dearly) and landed in
Bristol, land of the Bristol veterinary school and also – as we discovered –
famous street art, including some pieces by Banksy.
Every artist has their muse, and it seems that dogs, cats and wildlife inspire graffiti artists too: animals are a
recurring theme in Bristol’s street art. Here are a couple of highlights.

Stencil of a cat on a building in Bristol. |
|
An enormous leaping dog-human on the side of a building. |
|
Even tough guys wielding crayons accessorise with dogs in these parts... |
|
Loved this sci-fi birdosaurus. |
|
Diagonally across the road there is this stunning sleeping fox. |
|
I liked the detail on this public art near the harbour. |

This very sad panda appears in a number of spots around the city. |
