Bristol, England
 |
| "See No Evil is an international art project based on Nelson Street in the Bristol City centre. It brings together a selection of the world's best street artists to create a huge outdoor gallery." |
 |
| The once grim, dull and sterile office blocks that populate the area are brought to life with a splash of colour and several stages of music for a few days each summer. The beautiful thing about it though is that even when the party is over, the huge murals remain on their concrete canvasses all year long. |
 |
| Welcome to Nelson Street. |
 |
| The Ghostly Musketeers. |
 |
| For 2012, the organisers pulled out all the stops showcasing a much larger festival-style gathering. Tiny alleyways connect the labyrinthine area together with hidden art lavishly splashed around ever corner. |
 |
| The event was a testament to the liberal attitude of the Bristol council who allowed a large area of the city centre to be closed down for one big party, relaxing drinking laws and supplying an unobtrusive police presence. |
 |
| Several of the buildings in the area opened up their doors and put on workshops for people to have a go producing some of their own art. |
 |
| Ship Shape & Bristol Fashion. |
 |
| One trippy little dude. |
 |
| The more attractive side of Nelson Street. No graffiti required. |
 |
| A record 50,000 people came to Bristol over the weekend to enjoy the elaborate art displays, homegrown Bristol music and a few ciders in the sun of course. |
 |
| Swagger straight from 1975. |
 |
| Break-dancing contest in full swing. |
See No Evil Block Party had acts playing from midday to 9pm.
 |
| Organic street art. |
 |
| For me the rooftop party at Froomsgate House was the place to be. Trapping the sun nicely all day, the best house djs in Bristol played to a rammed crowd at the Crack Magazine Hear No Evil stage. |
 |
| Such as Kowton...For one of his final tunes he played Andres - New For You. Big tune for a big day in Bristol. |
 |
| 35 individual pieces of art were on display across a wide range of buildings. |
 |
| A great day turned into a great night down at Timbuk2 for young biggles..... |
 |
| See No... |
 |
| A multitude of walkways connected the party together with sneaky little stages squeezed into the various nooks and crannies. |
 |
| Fuel. |
 |
| The Nelson Walk. |
 |
| Growing bigger every year, See No Evil looks like it will join St. Pauls as the place to be every summer. |
