By Martin Booth  Thursday Jun 15, 2023

Cotham Hill now has a colourful new welcome thanks to Inkie.

The acclaimed street artist has painted a mural in collaboration with local business Films at 59 on the side of a former garage.

The mural in Inkie’s distinctive lettering and style says: “Welcome to Cotham Hill, Bristol BS6”

Inkie has been busy in the last few weeks including spending some time at the seaside painting at Weston Wallz in Weston-super-Mare.

He has also been painting one of his biggest ever works on a 250m hydro-electric dam across the River Rhine, half of which is in France and half in Germany.
