Conrico Steez

'Night Izakaya'

Probably one of my most successful prints evokes a sense of mysterious calm and homeliness that izakayas (Japanese pubs) illuminate into the world.

A smoking french beauty. 😺

Lovely day painting in during yesterday's art market. Got to crack on with this portrait I've been wanting to paint for a while. Really enjoyed getting into the shading contours of her turtleneck jumper with a limited colour palette.

A close-up of a vibrant street art mural depicting a cat's face. The cat has a large, bright yellow eye with a black pupil and a white reflection. Its fur is a mix of dark browns, blacks, and hints of teal and blue. The top of its ear is visible, showing a lighter brown and tan color. The mural is painted on what appears to be a brick wall, with some of the texture showing through the paint.

A vibrant mural on a brick wall depicts a large, dark cat with bright yellow eyes peering over a yellow ledge. Above the cat, on a dark blue background, are white outlines of stars and white handwritten text that reads "LAURA," "MOMO," and "TASH." Below the cat, on the yellow ledge, are three large, realistic paintings of red sushi pieces, likely tuna or salmon nigiri. To the left, a small portion of what appears to be maki sushi (sushi rolls) is also visible. The bottom of the mural shows a concrete or paved ground with some weeds growing.

A vibrant mural on a brick wall depicts a large, dark cat with big yellow eyes peering over a yellow ledge. Below the ledge are three pieces of nigiri sushi with pink tops and a roll of maki sushi with green, white, and red fillings. The background is a starry, dark blue sky with bright white stars and abstract white swirls. Above the cat's head, white text reads "LAURA / MOMO / TASH" with a small heart. To the left, "LOVE BS5" is written vertically. On the right, some Japanese characters are visible, and the number "2023" is present near the top. The artist's handle "@conricosteez" is painted on the yellow ledge on the left. Green foliage spills over the top and bottom left of the mural.

El gato de sushi, sushi no neko, la chat sushi.

Popped out for a quick 1 hour paint down the local graffiti alley to drop the frisky feline maki fiend the other night.

An ethereal, digitally painted scene depicts a crumbling stone archway, part of a larger ruin, bathed in soft, otherworldly light. To the left, a large, ancient tree with vibrant green foliage leans towards the arch, its branches extending over and around the structure. The stonework of the ruins is textured, with hints of moss and small plants growing from cracks, and it appears to shimmer with an internal, cool blue light. Through the archway, a bright, verdant landscape is visible, suggesting a passage to another realm or a well-preserved garden beyond. The background is a deep, magical blue, filled with swirling, glowing orbs and faint, star-like patterns, hinting at a mystical or nocturnal setting. Butterflies with glowing wings are scattered near the base of the tree and around the ruins, adding to the magical atmosphere. The overall impression is one of ancient mystery and enchantment.

A vibrant, wide-angle photo captures a large graffiti mural on a wall next to a street. The mural depicts a colorful, fantastical landscape with a body of water in the foreground. Large green bubble letters spelling "CONRICO" appear to float on the water, with a "!" at the end. The sky above is a riot of purple, orange, and yellow hues, suggesting a dramatic sunset or sunrise. On the far right, in purple text, are the letters "GYS" and a stylized sun. The body of water, rendered in shades of blue and purple, features small, dark, jagged shapes that resemble islands or rocks. On either side of the mural, the landscape is mountainous, with peaks rendered in deep purples and blues. Above the mural, a concrete overpass or bridge runs horizontally across the top of the image, with some overgrown foliage visible. On the right side of the photo, a silver utility pole stands next to the mural, bearing a blue and white "One way" sign and a red and white triangular sign warning of "Humps for 55 yards." The road in the foreground is dark asphalt with double yellow lines, and a metal grate is visible in the pavement. The overall impression is one of dynamic street art transforming an urban space.

A vibrant graffiti artwork spans a concrete wall, depicting a stylized mountainous landscape under a dramatic sky. The upper part of the image shows a cloudy sky rendered in shades of grey, pink, and orange, with some dark grey clouds appearing on the left. In the middle ground, abstract mountain peaks in dark purple and grey rise from a body of water. The water itself is a striking mix of turquoise and light blue, with touches of darker blue, suggesting depth and movement. Several light blue, elongated, drip-like shapes emerge from the water, creating splashes and ripples, hinting at an otherworldly or artistic representation of liquid. Orange and pink heart shapes are scattered across the top left of the painting, near the word "LAURA" in an orange script, below which reads "MOM OR TASH". To the right of that, "CKONE 2 HOT" is written in black. The overall style is reminiscent of spray-paint art, with visible texture and layering. The top of the wall is rough concrete, and a small part of a green and yellow artwork is visible on the far right edge.

An eye-level shot captures a vibrant graffiti mural on a wall. The dominant colours are shades of purple, orange, and blue. In the upper center, the word "GYS" is spray-painted in bold, bright yellow letters with an orange outline, appearing to glow. Below the letters, three horizontal, wavy orange lines suggest movement or energy. The background features dark, shadowy mountains in various shades of blue and purple, resembling a rugged landscape, possibly a mountain range or island chain. Above the mountains, the sky is depicted with horizontal streaks of orange and white, resembling clouds or a sunset. In the lower left, a small, dark silhouette of a boat with a person in it is visible on a body of water, which is painted in shades of light blue and turquoise, with some white reflections. The entire image has a slightly textured appearance, indicating it's painted on a rough surface.

A graffiti mural under a concrete overpass, viewed from an upward-sloping road. The mural depicts a vibrant landscape with a sky transitioning from orange and pink to purple, and a body of water with shades of blue and hints of green. Large, green bubble letters with a yellow highlight spell out "CONRICO" across the middle of the mural, appearing to float on the water. Below the water, dark, jagged shapes suggest mountains or landmasses. On the far left, some red tags are visible. On the right, a blue directional road sign with a white arrow points right, and a smaller red-bordered white sign with a downward-pointing arrow indicates a steep hill. The overpass itself is concrete with some green foliage on top.

A lil solo outing to an old spot yesterday to stomp out this quagmire inspired piece.

A fun one yesterday down at a local paint spot for international women's day. Rocked the wall with a strong sheeba lassy. 🗡️ 🐯 🧚 Alongside Werm, Koolhand, Dazcat and Mind 49.

To celebrate international women's day today I painted a powerful lass who needs no man to help her riding a big purr.

Bit of a loosey, goosey design but I'm satisfied with how it came out despite my hangover today.

A triptych painting with a vibrant landscape combining traditional and modern elements. The artwork features rolling green hills, cherry blossoms, rivers, mountains, and modern buildings, with golden clouds floating throughout the scene. A bridge, a highway, and a smiling clock add dynamic elements to the composition. The painting is unframed and displayed on a white wall.

A close-up angled shot of the framed triptych painting, highlighting the intricate details, bold outlines, and golden accents. The reflection on the glass slightly distorts some areas, but the vibrant colors and artistic style remain prominent.

The same triptych painting but framed in a black frame with a white mat. The artwork is now enclosed within the frame, making it appear more structured and refined. A red wall hook is visible above the frame.

An experimental portrait of one of my little princesses giving me that food death stare. I decided to paint this piece using an opposing colour scheme and quite happy with the outcome.

This colorful artwork portrays a vibrant, fantastical landscape. Rolling green hills are dotted with hobbit-style houses, apple trees, and a smoke-billowing steam train winding its way through the scenery. A dazzling display of fireworks illuminates the sky, forming a dragon shape, as the sunset glows warmly on the horizon. There's a mix of whimsy and mystery, with details such as a blue police box hidden near the edge of the scene and a medieval-style tower perched on one hill. A family sits peacefully in the foreground, while a suspension bridge spans the distance, blending magic with modernity.

This vibrant illustration features a picturesque green hillscape under a clear blue sky with scattered white clouds. A medieval-style tower sits atop one of the hills, while a fiery dragon-shaped firework illuminates the sky. Apple orchards dot the landscape, and a steam train weaves through the scene, adding a sense of whimsy. A wooden signpost in the foreground points to destinations like "Ashton Gate," "Hobbiton," and "Lawrence Hill," blending elements of fantasy and reality in a charmingly surreal setting.

This imaginative scene showcases a sunset sky transitioning to evening, featuring a dragon-shaped firework display sparkling in hues of orange and gold. The blue sky is scattered with fluffy clouds, while the foreground reveals a lush, rolling green landscape. A medieval tower stands atop a hill on the left, with a steam train chugging along the tracks below. Hobbit-style homes with round doors nestle into the hillside on the right, and a suspension bridge spans the distance. Vibrant fireworks and glowing lights bring a festive atmosphere to this whimsical and fantastical setting.

I was commissioned to paint the Shire with motifs of Bristol/Glastonbury littered amongst the scenery along with nods to my clients interests.

This was a custom illustration commission as a birthday gift. Get in touch if you'd like something similar.

Super alert to the pooperly action has her pining for hire climbs to get away from it. 😂🐈

Popped out for a quick rattle of the cans yesterday with a good pal at one of my favourite spots in the city.

Thought I'd get in some portrait practise with an image of this Instagram lass posing in an American diner.

Thanks for reposting my pieces.

The original wall I painted to the canvas I produced after the fact.

I challenged myself 2 years ago to this design and was taken with the composition so decided to paint it as a slightly more refined canvas after the fact.

What sold the client on this design out of the few I sent across was the parrot perched in the middle of the lettering I think.

I've spent the last 2 days up a ladder painting this lovely, tropical fascia sign for a new micropub opening in St George, Bristol.

I'm really happy with how this sign came out and love working within the local communities high street.

Back at the end of September I was invited to the Whitewalls paint jam in Glastonbury and was given the opportunity to paint this old boat. I seized the chance to paint such a unique canvas and was asked to paint a pirate on it. #streetartist #mural #conricosteez #urbanart #spraypaint #graffito

A custom painted jacket for the Flaming Moth vintage. They asked me to create something for their shop and let loose with the design so I came up with this.
