This summer, London and Bristol hosted sculpture trails 'Shaun in the City', and I spent time trekking around London and around Bristol in order to find all of the sculptures. I went to Bristol in August. A couple of years ago, Bristol hosted 'Gromit Unleashed' (here and here) and one of the Gromit statues was in front of a wall near the waterfront. Behind the sculpture, local Bristol street artist Cheo painted a wall with a very hip-looking Wallace and Gromit.
This summer, Cheo painted Shaun the Sheep with the dog Bitzer on a wall next to the original mural.
No sculptures of Shaun were placed in front of the wall this year, but both could be seen and photographed side-by-side in this prime location in Bristol.
The murals are still on display in Bristol and are located near the waterfront. My photographs do not really do them justice as the day was quite sunny with sun and shade from the trees obscuring the photograph.
