Upfest 2022

Sugar Glider mural sprite upfest

Had the most amazing time painting at Europes largest street art and graffiti festival, Upfest in Bedminster, Bristol with SNUB23. As part of their 2022 Upfest Street Art Festival event. Want to see a list of all 400 artists who will be painting at this years Upfest event? Follow this link.

My wall this year is beautifully located in Greville Smyth Park, on the Bowls Club Building, what 3 words location ///belt.hang.select. One thing I especially loved about this location was the insane amount of dog walkers and lovely pups I got to meet.

This was my 2nd year painting my own solo mural at this bristol event. Just 5 years ago I dreamed of just visiting the Upfest festival, let alone painting my own mural at the event.

Thank you to all the people that came to say hi, Upfest for having me and Kobra Paint for fuelling our fire.

My Upfest painting is also available as a print on my website and can be purchased below.

As well as painting my own wall I also assisted SNUB23 with his own mural

I love working alongside SNUB23 and I'm forever grateful for what he's taught me over the years and the experiences I share with him. This wall was especially lovely as we had our own roof terrace to relax and watch over bristol when we were taking breaks.

Full credit for this piece goes to him.

About Upfest…

Upfest was founded in 2008, It was originally conceived to get a group of 20 like-minded artists together for a day of painting here in Bristol, however the first festival quickly grew to 50 artists once the word was out, after securing a fantastic Bristol venue, the Tobacco Factory, the first Upfest took place.

Since then the festival has grown year on year with artists travelling from around the world to paint the walls across Bedminster. With over 400 artists now painting each year in front of 50,000 visitors, the festival has moved to a two week painting event culminating in the festival weekend taking place at Greville Smyth Park and the original venue the Tobacco Factory.

Outside of the festival, Upfest has a permanent HQ and gallery space in South Bristol. We project manage both public and private art installations, provide live artwork for events and festivals alongside place making activities.
