This week Britain's biggest Urban art project arrived in Bristol. See No Evil 2012 began Tuesday night and Nelson Street became one big canvass!
Floodlit throughout the night the graffiti artists from around the globe transformed some of Bristol's buildings in to an open air gallery.
This weekend all the art work will be complete and a two day New York City style block party will take place on Saturday. Sunday will be family-friendly viewing.
A collaboration of graffiti art and music will bring Nelson Street alive. One of the popular panasian restaurants - Shanghai Nights, have set up a food stall in front of their newly painted restaurant.
The See No Evil event which first came to Bristol in 2011, was hugely successful. Some of the artworks created in 2011 have remained. I'm glad to see my favourite, was one of the originals voted by the Bristol public to stay!
I set off first thing on Saturday to take some shots of the completed art work and to get an interview and some video shots of some of the artists completing their master pieces!
I hope you enjoy this open air gallery and its vibrant colour and vivid imagery, installed along one of the central streets of Bristol.

I love this eerie picture as you walk through the arch!
Leave a comment, let me know your favourite piece or if you don't like graffiti let me know what you think. Maybe you don't feel its art at all! If you would like to see the rest of my pictures please go to my Pinterest page (JoAnne Dursley under the pin board entitled artwork).
